At work are always up for a challenge, as long as it doesn't tax our brains too much, and this month we geared up for one of our most difficult tasks to date: how to simultaneously decorate the office for fall, Halloween, and Breast Cancer Awareness month. The result, we believe, is something the Bride of Frankenstein would be proud of. Of course we strove to maintain the utmost taste in our decorations, which would explain the giant paper eyeball pinned to one of the cubicles.
The entryway is a tasteful blend of a large pink tulle bow, pink plastic jack-o'-lanterns, and hairy paper spiders. Numerous cobwebs are pinned to the cubicle walls, which I personally am not overly fond of because they remind me too much of the state of our house right now, which we had been blaming on the renovation process but which has not improved since that ended.
A few plastic spiders inhabit the fake cobwebs, although our heart really wasn't in the spiders, considering the number of actual spiders and bugs we deal with in our office. If we really wanted to be ghoulish, we could pick up any of the easily available specimens of actual, dead bugs in our office and pin them to the cube walls. But of course we are too tasteful for that.
We have a library stocked with our educational materials, which mysteriously disappear on a regular basis, and we used the opportunity of decorating to make tasteful reminders for anyone who borrows our materials. A picture of a skull, resting on several books, declares ominously that "This could be you if you do not return what you borrow." The Hero has suggested that, given the number of materials that do not get returned, we keep the skull year-round.
One thing we do not have in our office is a flying monkey. The Hero's office is lucky enough to have a flying monkey, which is catapulted sling-shot style across the room and even makes threatening monkey noises while doing so.
I guess there are always things we can aspire to.
