Happy Halloween at the Office...

So here I am once again, dressed up, as I alway dress up, every year, in the same ren faire outfit I always wear for Halloween, sitting at my desk in front of the computer. Why? 'Cause it's just about required for this department. Oh, I'd probably never actually get reprimanded for it in anything near an official capacity. (They did that once, and I didn't take it very well. I'm sure it's been noted in my file.) But I would get subtly censured, as I have in the past for "non-participation" and the like. Well, what they see as subtle anyway.

...whatevers...

In any case, I have another headache today, and sadly I forgot the wonderous box of headache medicines at home in my other bag. The bag I left at home today. Because of the costume. Oh well. I'm wearing the hat to try to compress my head a little, in an attempt to control the feeling of pressure and thus ignore the headache. But it's not working. Dammit.

Maybe it'll work if I pull the hat down over my eyes. Or at least my left eye. That might work. Yeah. But then, I won't be able to see the screen as I type. Hmm, that presents something of a quandry. I shall have to ponder that, as I sit in the artificial darkness that is the inside of my foofy hat with feathers.

At least, until lunch times. That's one thing to look forward to, I guess - free lunch.

I miss working "there" with you and the rest of the gang! Costume required? Isn't that illegal...or maybe just harrassment? BTW - this is Stephanie! I hate signing on to websites. I also hate forced valet, especially when they charge a fee!! Maybe I should start my own "Blogger" and write about all the things in life I rebel against. :-)
