Hi All! Sorry if I worried anyone -- I just like charts and whatnot, and found Monday's particularly interesting as it was all right on top of me. I'm fine, I never even lost power. There are a few downed trees near me, and a few roads are a bit flooded, but all in all Philly did pretty well. We're a lot further from the coast so there was a lot less flooding than you see along the shore or in NY. Thanks for the happy thoughts :)
Now, on to Halloween! Last year, I was the only one to show up in costume, and have spent the past 365 (leap year!) days pestering everyone about it. I managed to get 2.5 people to dress up with me! (How to you get half a person? Take one person who didn't intentionally up, put a lego beind his ear and call him by someone else's name) So, we have from left to right 'John Doe' (aka the real name of the guy all the way on the right, who habitually wears the lego), a tree, Avatar Korra and Tony Stark.
As most people weren't quite sure if I was in costume or just in an odd dress, I clearly need to go much further next year. (If I'd had time and finished the arms and legs, I think they would have gotten it. C'est la vie. -- but wait, Allison, weren't you stuck inside in a hurricane? Yes. but I was tired of this and wanted to do other things. Oh yeah -- hows the coat. ..don't ask. ::mutter mutter grumble grumble::
Fabulous! I'm so impressed with having the guts to wear fancy dress to work. Cool. And I would have recognised avatar 's costume ...even without the blue face....very nice styling :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad ok with you
thanks :) Last year I went full on dinosaur, so this was low key by comparison. Its a pretty friendly place, so shenanigans are okay.
DeleteYou need to beat them all with a stick for next year. My boss played the emotional blackmail card to get everyone to dress up as it's her birthday on Halloween...maybe you can change your birthday and make them all feel guilty too! Well done on getting so much done though, arms and legs aside. Good luck on the coat!
ReplyDeleteIs Halloween a big thing in the UK? I'd always thought it was mostly just in the States and that everywhere else it wasn't much of a thing. However, getting your whole office to dress up sounds glorious -- any chance of pictures.......
