They decided to waste some time at work (what else is new, right?) and celebrate Halloween with pointless departmental competitions. Each department was to put up decorations, and each department got a pumpkin to decorate. At the end of the week, the winners got… something (I didn’t pay attention to what, because I knew we wouldn’t win).
Now of course we didn’t do any actual decorations, but (amazingly) we did come up with a rather ingenious (read: nerdy) idea for the pumpkin:
You know you love it! We modeled the whole thing after my 60gb iPod Photo. Our web guy, Matt, rev’ed up Photoshop and designed not only a click wheel to be taped on, but also a color screen, featuring… wait for it… the entire Systems department… as South Park characters.
I have to say, not only does our pure white pumpkin look good, but the South Park characters are going to make some kick ass tshirts!
I should be able to get some pictures from people next week when I get back to work, and I’ll be sure to post a few here. Oh, and please don’t sue us, Apple…
