Late halloween update

So I realize I should have posted this a month ago but I figure better late than never.

Halloween at Sirsi Dynix (where I work) was pretty relaxed and I have the pictures to prove it. But don't let my boss see them. :)

Everyone was encouraged to come dressed up and luckily Staci had a last second costume idea for me although admittedly it wasn't much of a costume.
That is an authentic Brazilian national soccer jersey, and by authentic I mean actually purchased in Brazil by my bro-in-law, Mark, while he was serving his mission there when Brazil won its last World Cup, coincidentally this was the same time that I was serving in Italy and had to witness Italy with a terrible performance in the WC that year; however, they did regroup and won it four years later in Germany, Forza Azzurri! But that is beside the point.

The fun times came when we went over to where another work station where some employees had set up rock band. The excuse was they decorated their work station with a rock star theme for the company decorating contest, they didn't win the decorating contest but if it was a popularity contest chances are they probably would have won.
So as you can see in these pictures I passed some time shredding the guitar and grooving on the bass. I didn't try the drums this time nor did I display my vocal skills. But it sure was fun. Our best song was "Livin' on a Pray" by Bon Jovi, we ended in the high 90s, pretty sweet for a band thrown together at the work place. :) A random fact, Jon Bon Jovi's last name is actually spelled Bongiovi but he changed the spelling to Bon Jovi, why you ask, because it's better I guess, but it is pronounced the same.


In this second picture we look like we're in a trance, which isn't too hard to believe considering we're playing plastic instruments and feel like we are actually rocking out. :)


Later on in the day, everyone's kids came around trick or treating thus creating enough of a distraction that I was able to take off early.

And today I just got back from a company provided Thanksgiving feast and we get all of next week off.

I love my job. (sometimes)
