The last time I dressed up in full costume for Halloween was in 2004. It was part of a contest at work. Prizes were awarded for best costume and best decorated cubicle.
While my costume was pretty good my cubicle COULD NOT lose. It. Was. Awesome.
I spent more time, energy and money on that damned contest. But it was by far the best cubicle in the building.
Except that I LOST!!! I got beat by a tissue paper wrapped desk that had a broken doll on it. Seriously there was a broken doll, a fake owl and an ET figure there. Nothing went together and yet I LOST.
Devasted. I was devasted. And bitter. Bitter and devasted. I just knew I would win.
And no it didn't matter that I won for best costume and that they both had the same prize. I
So to re-live this tale I dug through a few boxes trying to find the picture of my cubicle. It took a while and I found some very interesting things along the way. Anyone interested in a Jessica Simpson cassette tape? A promotional one...it doesn't even have the whole songs on it.*
Before revealing my SPECTACTULAR, AMAZING, RAD, AWESOME, INCREDIBLE, MARVELOUS, LOSING cubicle, let me explain.
I dressed as a mad scientist that had escaped from the mental ward complete with hospital gown, slippers and robe. My desk was my laboratory and I don't care what they say it was BAD ASS.
Do you see the flasks filled with colored liquids and gels? The graphs, charts and family portraits I made posted to the wall? Do you see the walls that I painstakingly covered in silver? Bad Ass I say. Bad. Ass.
Those bastards. But I'm not bitter.
*Jessica was on tour with 98 Degrees when I got this tape. They came to our town and I took my sis. Hey! I'm a great big sister what can I say?! Besides 98 Degrees was pretty hot. Anyway, she was a nobody at the time so after the concert she was signing demo tapes out front. And I got one.
Wonder if I could ebay this sucker for some big bucks?

Maybe they just thought that was how your cubicle always looks?
That is freaking AWESOME! You were robbed!!
p.s. I adore your glasses. Can I borrow them?
Hah. Great job on the cubicle and costume. Yeah, you should be bitter :)
Such a good job!! I can't believe you didnt win!!
I think maybe they were afraid of your decorated cubicle. Probably thought that it was a little too close to reality! But I think you did a great job!
That was great! I loved the cubicle. What a cool idea for Halloween. At the office, years ago, we used to dress up for Halloween in costumes. The owners of the company would bring us to the local grammar schools and parade us in front of the children and the kids would pick out the best costume - whoever won got the day off!
You definitely should have won!
That was an awesome cubicle! I bet the winner was friends with the chooser, cuz yours rocked!
My guess? They wanted to be fair and not give you BOTH prizes.
Your cubicle is decorated better than my house will EVER be!!!
Awesome pic!!!

You are smokin' hot!
I would have left my cubicle like that. Forever and ever. Amen.
