MORON CO-WORKERS: Work is Hell-oween

I despise Halloween. The holiday just doesn't appeal to me. Dressing up makes me uncomfortable, as does seeing other adults in goofy costumes. At work some people choose to wear their costumes in on the Friday before Halloween, but fortunately it's optional.

My friend Kevin isn't so lucky.

"At my company, all departments have to get together, decide on a theme, and dress up according to the theme. My department decided on "The Adams Family" as our theme without any input from me. When I asked why I was not consulted on this, I was given an answer that included the phrases "not a team player" and "stick in the mud" and informed that I should show up dressed as Uncle Fester next Friday.

I hate my life."

I'll vouch for the fact that he is "not a team player," but a "stick in the mud"? Okay, maybe he's that, too, but not because he refuses to wear a gay costume. If that's the case, then call me a "stick in the mud," too.

In other Hell-oween news, a Washington state school says that Hell-oween is disrespectful to witches. I think it's merely disrespectful to anyone over the age of eleven.
