Office Silliness
I hate to be a dud around the office, but is it really worth all the energy to come up with a costume just to sit around at your desk all day? Oh, I'm still playing along, but just bitching about it. There is something about this that taps into an insecurity that I thought was gone. This morning, I felt a high school-like anxiety the moment I walked into the building: Wait, did I read the memo right? We are all dressing up, right? Weren't we all going to dress up? I'd probably have to find a new job if I ended up being the only person in costume. I couldn't live that down.
