At Pfizer, I coordinated a virtual costume party for my Corporate IT department where we printed up pictures of who/what we wanted to be for Halloweeen and hung it on our office doors and cubicles. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was right around the time our former CEO, Hank McKinnell, left with a $200M severance package. So I was Hank McKinnell and that got a laugh. The department secretary made a slide show out of all the entries and we had a party and raffled off copies of It&amp;#39;s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, yes, it was fun in retrospect because I wasn&amp;#39;t doing any work. Also, it was fun because I was laying off about 20 people/week and it was a good break. :)</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7759364775032450384/6202580897811691799/comments/default/2513586735606969806'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7759364775032450384/6202580897811691799/comments/default/2513586735606969806'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.hrsuperstar.net/2009/10/halloween.html?showComment=1256222347879#c2513586735606969806' title=''/><author><name>Laurie</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/00005321569521572360</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp0.blogger.com/_Tfwr2C2laBA/SGk9pm4LoxI/AAAAAAAAAzE/EsiD9BtIO6k/S220/pfired.jpeg'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://www.hrsuperstar.net/2009/10/halloween.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759364775032450384.post-6202580897811691799' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7759364775032450384/posts/default/6202580897811691799' type='text/html'/><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='blogger.itemClass' value='pid-1658823414'/></entry></feed>
