Halloween at the office

Halloween turned out to be the event of the year at work!

For some reason, it was decided at the regular office lunch on Friday that everyone should wear suits and "professional" clothing today for Halloween. Everyone, that is, except for the project managers. I'm not sure how exactly how this idea came about, but then again, I've been to office lunches and any idea that comes out of it ceases to surprise me any more.

Well, seeing as how the official dress code is pretty much "wear whatever you want, since it's a long day and we want you to be comfortable," this was an occasion to be commemorated!  Break out the cameras!  We need pictures to mark this oh-so-rare event.  The only time I've seen anyone wear a suit at work is when we have candidates come in to interview. (I believe that's the last time my suit was worn.)

So, after the company-wide picture at noon, we did another oh-so-rare thing: company lunch on a Monday!

Ah, and you thought it would stop there. Nope, pictures and company lunches aren't enough; not for Halloween 2005.  We need one more thing to make it a true holiday.  Cake! We need cake!

Oh the irony!  The company's employees have never looked so professional, and yet we probably got less work done than a normal Monday.
