20 days til Hallowe'en


We’re ‘scaring up’ the garages over the next couple of days. Going full-on with the fake cobwebs, witches hats and animatronic ghouls. I may have over-spent slightly on props and decorations but screw it. It’s only once a year and I’m new to the job so I’m sure I can find an ‘accidental economic oversight’ excuse that will wash over any unpleasantness from Head Office. I did get approval to do this, don’t forget, so I can plead my case that they were the ones who gave me permission and they were the ones who should have been clearer on a budget ceiling. Most of it is stuff that’s for sale in the supermarkets so I’m seeing what we’re doing as advertising, up-selling and merchandising, rather than just flagrant, flamboyant, frivolous misuse of company property. It may be hard to justify having a £90 flashing pumpkin that I found online in America, but I’ll give it a damn good go.
