The Office

Saw these today at work.  The most decorations that have ever been displayed there.  It's very promising.  

The Wreath Witch Curse: UPDATE

Original Post:  October 13, 2017


I work in a very large department...  not that many people, but a giant work area with a lot of unused space.  The entire building is getting refurbished one department at a time, and our old outdated vile wing was asked to consolidate itself onto one side of the wing while visiting departments can inhabit the empty side while their department wings were being stripped down and refurbished.  So it's been a couple years of new neighbors showing up every few months.  It's like getting to know and being annoyed at horrible neighbors/tenants moving in next to your home many times a year.  And knowing they're moving on to nicer homes/apartments and you're still stuck in your old one til God-knows-when.

Early this week, one of the women on the new side, without getting permission or taking a poll, hung something like this wreath (this is actually way nicer so I suspect she might have made hers).

She hung it on the two giant automated doors at the entrance of our department (important to note she hung it on the door on OUR side of the wing).  There was great hooting and hollering on the day she brought it in and I heard her say many times "I LOVE HALLOWEEN!" (I think I might have hissed like a vampire seeing a cross).

Well, four people asked me this week:  "You put that wreath up?"

THAT wreath....the one with the striped witch legs and tiny glittery witch hat and clumps of shiny silver tulle.


UPDATE:  They fixed the door yesterday.  The door now opens mechanically, unaware that instead of a cursed wreath hanging upon it, there now hangs a weird tulle candy cane that looks more like a giant dead Christmas shrimp. 
The shrimp is un-cursed, apparently.  The door has been swinging happily all morning, and is no longer a fire hazard/place for my charred body to lay against...

Guess What Today Is?

Bring your kid to work day.

I'm preparing for that feeling of being a tired animal in a petting zoo.
