December 12, 2012 at 16:35As we noted Halloween 2012!
For the bustle of working days, you do not notice how fast time flies.
This is even more true for programmers, testers and business analysts, people who spend most of their lives at the computer and are in a constant process of intellectual activity. They just need to get positive emotions and impressions from time to time - this makes us carefully approach the organization of holidays, cooperatives and just small get-togethers in the office.
And it is never difficult for us to find a reason for the event! We have a foreign company, and we can take this opportunity to celebrate any foreign holiday. Also, our guys often go on business trips abroad, and upon arrival we will certainly get together to give them the opportunity to share their impressions and treat us with good foreign alcohol. ))
This time we had 2 good reasons to have fun: Halloween was approaching, a mysterious holiday of all supernatural and inexplicable, and the long-awaited extension of the contract with one of our key customers.
We immediately decided to combine these 2 events and threw out a bunch of ideas for implementation - all this was supported by a letter with instructions for Day X in order to pre-configure the guys to actively participate and set the right mood.
What happened in the end, even for the organizers came as a surprise. )
Rushing into the locker room in the morning, I noticed a certain terrible creature, calmly sipping coffee in the kitchen, someone else in a long black cloak and with a scythe slowly hosted near the coffee machine. A chill ran across my back from what I saw ... the guys prepared thoroughly!
The rooms we had decorated on the eve also made an impression: everywhere there were cheerfully grinning pumpkin lights, bats were sitting in small flocks on the walls, huge baskets full of oranges with painted faces painted on the tables, helium balloons with Halloween-themed prints were floating on the ceiling, “Halloween” as if dripping with bloody drops from all magnetic boards.
And on the main table was a basket with the attributes of this holiday: horns of little devils or bats, glasses, pirate armbands, which everyone could use to create their own unique image. ))
One of the key moments of the event was the appearance in the office of a real master of face art. It turned out to be a pretty young girl and, of course, a line of programmers immediately lined up for her. The artist very well complemented the picture of the event, and several zombie men, vampires, ghouls, evil sorceresses, werewolves and terminators came out from under her light arm, and there were also especially distinguished ones - an intelligent pumpkin, Joker and Frankenstein. )))
In the middle of the day, a full “bacchanalia of madness” was going on in the office, all kinds of evil spirits imaginable sat at the desks, all kinds of winged-tailed creatures flocked from the meeting room to the meeting room. It was worth a look!
“For dessert” at the end of the working day, prizes and gifts, a laid table were waiting for everyone, and it ended with an exciting game of “Mafia”!
