After Christmas, Halloween has got to be one of my most favorite holidays annually.
That excuse to dress up and throw a party. Thinking of a theme for the year and holding a best costume and design just brings out the competitive juices that I have.
This was me trying to be The Governor in The Walking Dead.
The theme for that year was Villains and at that point I still liked watching The Walking Dead and he was someone that made the hard choices.
Some of my officemates turned to videogames, movies and TV show villains.
It was a marvelous time and everyone had fun doing that.
So this year I sit alone dressed in pajamas while people I know dress up in their companies and show off their costumes. Eat candy with their kids and have a fun time.
I miss out on such a fun activity and just hits it home that I am no longer in a company. No activity for me to judge in, no contest to host, no prizes to give out and not see the smiles of people for an event well done.
It just hits home that I am alone.
