Halloween potlucks
This year I went minimalist. Why? Because I’m lazy. Finding out what other people come up with is pretty cool though. The following are some of the costumes that showed up at work:
- Flames fan in Vancouver (ketchup stains as blood with a “Kick me” sign taped to the back)
- Facebook (a blue book with a hole in it, put over the face)
- Squeegee kid
- Paperbag princess
- Duck beauty pageant winner
- Blackberry

I didn’t call her bluff, but I did find a way around it without actually having to wear an itchy wig or an uncomfortable mask. Behold my costume:
I was called a brat. I claimed lateral thinking. I did stop short of “thinking outside the box” and “changing the paradigm” though. I probably would’ve gotten hit if I said that.
