Every other Friday everyone comes in for staff meetings. Today when they went into the board room for the meeting, everyone was delighted that there was candy on the table between the minute printed from the last meeting. I could hear grown people squealing for joy over the candy from down the hall.
I had put candy on the table and written "HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! trick or treat" on the white board at the head of the room, and today the meeting opened with me explaining Halloween [they don't really celebrate it here] and letting them know that there was going to be a pot of candy at my door all day today-- if they wanted some, they would have to say "trick or treat" to me first. Over the course of the day I got to watch was grown-ups fought over pieces of candy in my pot.
October has been a hard month for those working here, as it is the first month of several where they will be feeling the burden of a 20% paycut due to economic issues. Today they get their paychecks and they will realize this big cut... but hopefully me putting a little more goofiness [and candy] in the day will make things a little brighter!
