Samhain Blessings and Halloween Wishes
It's Halloween!
I'm a big fan of the fun of the day. I'm at the temp job training the new person. (Well, I have been; she's at lunch now hence the quick check-in.) We'll call her K2 since there's already a K. here. So far, she seems smart which is, I guess both a good thing and a bad thing. Good in that maybe they'll finally have someone who doesn't shove paperwork in a desk and myspace all day; bad because it means she might last and they won't need me anytime soon.
By the way, forgive me if the typing is bad. She changed out my natural keyboard for a standard one and I can't type on these things to save my life. At least Firefox 2.0 has a built-in spell checker which works really well and underlines things right as you type. VERY handy. I need to upgrade at home. I was typing something last night at home and I already missed the feature.
I decided to wear a pair of horns to the office. Everyone does a double-take and then smiles. They're all impressed when I tell them that I make them myself. It's just fun to wear a pair of horns in an otherwise normal outfit.
Going to head over to my friend Rand's house after work and hand out candy there. I want to wear my cloak but I have no idea what to wear under it. I'd like it to go with the theme, but I don't own any dresses or anything. I'll have to see what I want to do when I get home I guess. I've been thinking about it for a week now but nothing comes to mind.
Well, I guess that's it from the peanut gallery for the moment. I just wanted to do a quick post since I won't have a chance to this afternoon during training and won't be home this evening.
Oh, I had an adventure and a half last night trying to find a pumpkin to carve (oddly enough, no one has any left the night before Halloween. Who knew?) but I did manage to find one and I did a funny one of Vampire Mr. Burns. (From one of the Halloween episodes of The Simpsons.) They're having a carving contest here at work, so I brought it in. There's only one other pumpkin though so the odds are good I'll place in the top three.
Alright, this time for real. Have a spooktacular day!
