Body Parts and DVDs
Tonight is our family Halloween party at work. A crew of eager staff members has been working for days to make this the best party ever and it really is going to be quite something. There's a very elaborate haunted house for the kids to walk through (on their way to an equally impressive graveyard), the carved pumpkins are works of art and the food will be to die for (hee hee). I am in charge of the Gruesome Table, where there will be vats of gross-to-the-touch items that represent some unfortunate's dismembered body: steamed cauliflower covered in oil for the brain, large oily olives for the eye balls, etc. I was going to have a large pickle for the nose but then thought I'd get myself in trouble because some people would think it was a penis instead. We wouldn't want some four year old tramatized by a pickle, now would we?
While some of today will be taken up with the last minute details of the party, my big task will be to start thinking about elements and a script for a recruitment video/DVD I have just found money for. I envision clips of staff members, talking about what kind of company we are and why it's a good place to work, interspersed with still photos of employees at work, or community projects we've supported, or environmental work we've been involved with, etc. There would also be some slides of text, and upbeat music throughout. I'm very excited.
