halloween-sprint speed style
yesterday i was sitting at work when my coworker asks me "what are you coming in as tomorrow"? i was really confused because i actually FORGOT that tomorrow (which is now today) is Halloween. he then told me that we can come in as whatever Halloween monster.. or whatever that we wanted. of course the first thing i thought of was my previous costumes. lets see...
first year: crazy japanese sword guy from kill bill
second year: lenny kravitz
third year: csa zombie
fourth year: PIRATE KING LUFFY!
and really... none of these are "work appropriate". really the only place appropriate for these costumes is in a drunken blur at a college party. then i came upon a BRILLIANT idea. which sadly now reflect the state of my life.
"can i wear jeans??" i asked him. he looked at me for one moment and then realized the genius of this question. see we only get casual fridays and even then we can't wear tshirts or tennies shoes. so really casual friday is just... jeans day. but with this halloween excuse i could wear tshirts, jeans and flip flops if i wanted! my costume would just be "casual work guy". at the time i was excited beyond belief. but then i realized just how sad it is that i was excited over a "costume" that's really just casual work wear.
but wait the story goes on. we go to my boss and ask him about this. he looks at me for one second and goes "no you can't wear jeans! that's not a costume". dejected, i thought of something else. "what if i'm a cowboy? then i would have to wear jeans!". he replied telling me that while i can be a cowboy, that just means i can rock the hat, cowboy "vest" but i'd still need to wear slacks and dress shoes. sigh... that's why today i am just dressed in regular clothes. and at work nobody is costumed.
that's right kids. this year for halloween. i'm just working. no crazy parties. no drunken debauchery. just living life at sprint speed.
