There is only 26 hours until our annual Octoberfest here at Doe. That means you have 26 hours to find the perfect costume...the costume that employees will be telling their grand kids about. The costume that will cause an uproar of laughter by your department and make your boss remember why they hired such a creative person.
Prizes will be handed out for the best costumes (1st, 2nd and 3rd places) and the prizes aren't lame...you'll want to win. Trust us! We have sharp and creative minds in this building...what better way to show everyone just how awesome you are. Dress up and make everyone jealous they didn't have your idea.
Can't wait to see what everyone wears tomorrow...and none of this "I dressed up like an Account Manager" or "I dressed up like a normal person" stuff...go all out. After all, when is the last time you came into work dressed in black tights and wings? Well don't ask Hoon...I heard he did that just last week.
26 hours and counting...

Make something new this month!
Did your grandmother ever make a special dish during the Fall season that you wish you could recreate today? Did your uncle ever let you sneak a sip of something that your parents didn't want you drinking? Well below are some recipes that you can make and share with your grandchildren, nieces and nephews, kids, spouses and friends. Start a new recipe book for the Fall and Winter seasons and be sure to have these goodies written down...
