Office Halloween

Break the normal routine of the work week if only for a minute. Next week is Halloween and provided your company allows for such behavior, show up in a costume! Celebrities and politicians are usually save bets provided you don't damage the fragile sensitivities of your co-workers. How about a little cubicle trick or treating? So maybe you won't go that far, but with Halloween just over a week away, why not have a few "treats" at the ready? Why not decorate your work area? Why not participate to some degree in the festivity? Over the years my job has taken me into a wide variety of office settings. From the stifling to the relaxed. One thing is for sure, those businesses that shared moments of light- hearted fun always seemed to have the healthier environment including better relations with their co-workers. Take it upon yourself to demonstrate your more human side even if it is not the norm for your office.
