Do people at your work bring treats on days like today? My work has never done anything for Halloween, but I guess that's a thing, especially in the US and Canada. I'm having another hungry day, so I am sad and happy that there are no treats for me to stuff my face with eat today.
I plan on making up for it at the Halloween party we're going to tonight.

We have a potluck and costume contest, and the social committee does a desk drop of candy too. But my office is definitely big on social stuff like that.
I'm a voluntold member of said committee and am in charge of organizing our holiday season charity stuff (we do a Food Bank volunteer day, a Santas Anonymous gift-wrapping volunteer day, and collect donations for food-and-gift hampers for underprivileged families.) It's all optional but I usually get at least a 1/3 of the office able to volunteer for one or both events and can sponsor 4 families with food and gifts, so it's pretty popular and I like it a lot better than the candy/meal-centered stuff we do.
I also organize a smoothie day in the spring where we get Jugo Juice for everyone but that's just because my boss (the CEO) loves smoothies and if I'm the one to organize it then it happens on a day when she's in the office...
We usually have stuff more or less monthly here - the charity stuff in Nov/Dec, then candy drops on Halloween, Easter, etc., plus some free popcorn days (we have a theatre-style machine), Office Olympics, a couple potlucks, and a BBQ on our roof terrace. Lots of food events, and it's no wonder almost everyone is heavy (~60 people.)0 -

Usually there are a few people who have candy at their desk... but they tend to be the ones who ALWAYS have candy anyway, regardless of the occasion.
Nobody in costume here today. It's been years since anyone has dressed up at work.0 -
No one in my hallway is dressed up today, but I just walked into our member education department and discovered Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Hahaha.0

We had our work party yesterday (a lot of people travel and aren't in the office on Friday.) We had pot luck with a costume and decorating contest. I won a $15 Walmart gift card for my costume and a $10 Starbucks gift card for decorating my boss's cubicle with the spider web.0

We have a small social committee that brings in some candy/chocolates for the staff & customers. This is the first year that they've really allowed/encouraged people to dress up. I didn't dress up, but quite a few people did, to my surprise.0

That is so cool! I loved your costume, and I was going to steal it, but I don't have time to pull it all together. Maybe some other time.0 -
We get all these weird social things because we're technically a non-profit, so salaries aren't really competitive with private sector stuff and so they have to make the work-life balance stuff really appealing. I get paid less than I would elsewhere but I get lots of free food and office parties (and 35-hr weeks with flex time, generous vacation and overtime and unlimited sick time, and great health & wellness benefits.)
Sometimes it occurs to me that I have given up actual money for free coconut-oil popcorn, but honestly, it's really great to not have my work take over my life (as in I still get to have a life outside the office.)0 -

Our Halloween party was yesterday. There was beer and wine.
This place has a lot of events, and a lot of them involve food. Blessing and a curse.0 -

I printed out the logos on regular paper (at work- shhhhh!) and used a glue stick to attach them to the black t-shirt. I've had the wings since my daughter was in Middle School.
Thanks! We have a best food contest at the Christmas party. I have won the last 3 years with a cake of some sort!spacequiztime wrote: »

Thanks to all the compliments on my cake and costume!

People at my work randomly bring in food, there is just more of it if there is an actual reason.
Sometimes things are organized, but usually not.

Today was our United Way picnic. BBQ, as usual. And flag football.0 -

Sounds good to me (well accept for the candy corn)
Tonight for dinner I had a Lenny & Larry's Pumpkin Cookie & the rest of my Giant (store brand) Peppermint gelato. I at least drank some unsweetened Cashew milk.0 -
Sounds great to me, actually.

We have snack days for any occasion. It is a morale booster at least.

We had several witches and wizards and a team of convicts.

My company does nothing. Ever. They did have a Halloween Jam on Thursdays. They do this every Thursday in the summer where people from work who sing or are in bands can perform. It's a big building so lots of people!0 -

Wow. That is some party company. We don't even have a social committee at my company. Not that I want one... I am not social but still. ...0
