I think my company is going bonkers in the "we're fun to work with!" dep't
For Halloween, we're having yet another potluck...but also, a costume contest and department-to-department trick-or-treating.

It's too bad this is Monday instead of Friday -- because, on Friday, I'm attending an open house at Marquette Law (I'm taking a half day) and I wouldn't have to bolt home and change from casual to business clothing. I could just go as "prospective law student" and be done with it.

1. I have an idea!
You can go to work as "prospective law student with axe in her head".

3. Go as Harriet Miers. Win the co. contest AND get all the attention at
the open house.

2. ugh. I hate the forced cheerfulness of such events
The mere thought of concepts like "Pajama parties" at the office or "hawaii-shirt-day" sends shivers down my spine. About the only thing I can stomach is the "end of the year" gathering, but even that tends to be a torture.

7. Perhaps not, but I stand by my assesment.
They're just trying to hold on to you. Like I did. But you're running again, just like you did from our precious love. :cry:

6. I was always suspicious of "fun" days ......
Some kind of deal with Satin that the "man" could squeeze every last ounce of self out of us for all the other days as long as there was a fun day....

How's about Voodoo the Boss Day....

Or lynch the Supply person....

Or Storm the Bastille of Benefits Day...
