Sure, we're a
Top 30 Design
Firm and we work hard to get there. That said, we also have a fun
side. As you may have read in last month's post, October was our "Fall Fun
Month." It was chock full of activities designed to bring employees together for
a time of fun, fellowship, and good food. Our talented team works hard to bring
world-class solutions to our clients' toughest challenges, and a bit of
levity helps to maintain the balance that keeps us at our very best. We are
committed to being an
Employer of Choice and this is just
one way that we work at it every day.
Here's the story in
pictures:
 |
| Oktoberfest was
a blast with festive music, freshly-grilled brats, homemade potato salad, soft
pretzels with choice of toppings, and a keg of delicious ice-cold root
beer. |
 |
Data Management's Diane Wilkie,
won first place
in the Oktoberfest homemade potato salad
contest,
securing the coveted "Golden Potato
Award." |
 |
Entries arrive in advance of
lunchtime voting in
our 2012 Pumpkin Decorating/Carving
Contest. |
 |
No pumpkin decorating contest
would be complete
without yummy pie with which to feed our
employee-judges.
|
 |
Employees were invited to
participate and vote in a Halloween
Hallway &
Office/Cube Decorating Contest. Team Lower Level
welcomed visitors
downstairs with fun pictures of team members.
|
 |
Having previously inhabited the
lower level before relocation
to the East Building, the Electrical Systems
Department's
presence could still be felt in the Haunted
Forest. |
 |
If visitors survived the other
creatures in the Haunted Forest,
this fierce animatronic feline was just
waiting to pounce on his next meal. |
 |
The East Building's Haunted
Hallway completely transformed
this Substation cube farm into a
spooktacularly fun place for
employees and kids alike with a haunted hay
ride and treats.
|
 |
Of course, the whole experience
would not be complete without
a good old fashioned scare from Substation's
Pat Keene. |
 |
Visitors to the Haunted Forest
for the annual Marketing Department
Halloween
Party enjoyed delicious and nutrious
treats. |
 |
Folks lined up waiting for the
party to start and the food to flow.
|
 |
Who knows who one might meet in
the Haunted Forest?
Substation's Bob Uddin made it out just in the nick of
time.
|
 |
Someone wasn't so fortunate.
She apparently flew straight
into Purchasing's wall. This is a shot of the
fresh crime scene. |
This week, Linda Gray (VP of
Business Development) and Rich Collins (VP of Transmission & Distribution)
are in Columbus, Ohio, for the
Electrical Transmission and Substation
Structures Conference. Attendees are invited to stop by Booth 3 to
register to win a hot new Kindle Fire!
Tomorrow is
Election Day in the United States and lots of important races
and proposals will be decided around the country. No matter how you vote, it is
important that you participate in this great facet of our republic democracy.
Sunday, November 11th
is Veterans Day. This very special day celebrates the service
of all U.S. military veterans. We owe them a debt of gratitude we can never
fully repay.
