The Morning After

Halloween usually doesn't do much for me. It's usually any other day with the exception of giving out candy to the costumed trick-or-treaters in the evening. I eat my dinner and go to bed, just like normal.

Things were different this year. Our department decided to dress up this year and decorate with a comic book store/super hero theme. My friend JD and I pretty much came up with the decoration concepts and made the department look like a comic book store. Another group made a door that looked great. Everyone chose a character and we decorated our own cubes as the lair of our chosen hero. Seeing as there is no way I would dress up as Wonder Woman, or Black Widow, or Super Girl, I chose The Punisher. Dusted off my pleather boots, broke out the trenchcoat, applied copious amounts of eye makeup and donned my skull t-shirt. I felt pretty badass.

HR had a costume contest, department decoration contest, guess the number of candy corns in a jar, and guess the weight of the pumpkin. When Willy Wonka was named the runner up, I knew we were going to win because I thought their display was very nice - and we did! A catered lunch for the whole department, thanks to me and JD! And yes, I DO take the credit. Mwa haha!

A great sign JD made

We're going to have to think of something really good for next year. Maybe Monty Python's Holy Grail or something equally appalling. It is something to look forward to!
