A little more Halloween

Well, Halloween has come and gone, and it's the second year I've spent it at a candy company. At Tootsie Roll the IT department takes it pretty seriously. This year I took a bit more of an active role than last, making my cubicle up to look like a crypt. Mary helped a ton with the coffin I made for the crypt. I don't think the picture shows the wood-grain look well enough. People were commenting about it for weeks at work. Anyway, here's the pictures.
Mary and Alexandra show up at my work, to see my desk, and the coffin we built....



..and the other side of my cubicle.



In the middle cube there was a torture chamber. The rack Dan built for last year is obviously the centerpiece.



But Dan outdid himself by building an organ for this year, they keys move up and down for full creepy effect. It turned out pretty well.


And the old staple, our graveyard




For Alexandra however, we thought the biggest treat was going to be getting her first (and so far only) taste of candy, but she didn't really take to it.


Happy Halloween until next year.

Halloween!


Well, we had a great halloween! Alexandra and I got to trick or treat at Tootsie Roll! How cool to trick or treat at a candy factory! The place was so well decorated - to me it looked better than most haunted houses. They even had the NBC and ABC new crews film some footage about it.
