The Halloween Drama Continues

The saga continues as Company X prepares for our annual Halloween decorating extravaganza. What was intended to be a fun, inter-departmental bonding excersize has quickly turned ugly as opinions clash and Coworkers struggle to maintain control.

Below you will find a copy of an actual e-mail exchange which took place between two of my coworkers regarding the decoration of their area. Could it get any better, I ask you?!

Hello,

I'm in charge of decorating our half of the department for Halloween. As you know the department voted our theme to be "Trick or Treating in the Neighborhood," and each area is responsible for decorating their cubes to resemble a neighborhood. Our area is going to be a trailer park! Are all of you going to be here next Friday? I need to know which desks will be empty that day.

Thanks for your help,

Coworker N
Department X

What? You have to be joking. Who the heck thought of that? We ain’t going to be no trailer park. I am not participating in any kind of trailer park theme, and don't go decoratni my cube to look like that.
