Turns out, my complex put on a parade of kids in costume and residents signed up to be designated candy givers for the route (I guess the notices were up when I was out of town.) Of course, it was at 4 pm, so I would've totally missed it anyway. But a nice plan, anyway. The new managers are certainly trying.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

It is a really nice plan, but 4 pm?

Kids don't tend to make it up to my floor. But one of the IT guys brought his 1 year old son in to work today, in a dragon costume. So cute!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ugh, Shawn. There's no good way to get to your house tonight, huh.
Also an ugh for msbelle who works too late.
OK, it seems like I only had to blow off the one set of kids. That's something, anyway.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Standoff: One passing reference to oxygen being flammable I can sigh and dismiss. Having the villain open the valves on a cart of oxygen bottles, and then ignite them into a fiery explosion with a pistol shot is just too much. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I had dinner at a Thai place in my neighborhood. There was a guy there with four kids, who were in costume. While they were eating, one of the kids said, "We're wasting valuable trick-or-treat time!"
