top 4 finalists.. it felt like american idol
I spent half of Sunday having the time of my life making this costume with my girlfriend. I stayed up until 3am last night putting on some finishing touches. This project was rewarding as much as it was demanding.
I’m happy I won the video iPod. 
What was more exciting, though, was the reaction it elicited from my colleagues — my friends at work. I’m glad that people understood my costume and that they appreciated it too. Recognition is always great and on a non-serious occasion such as this it feels even better. SimplyHired always has the greatest parties.
There were a bunch of great costumes this year! Winona was great with being a mail-order bride wearing bubble wrap, foam and packing tape. Tejas’ lego captain was also cool but super creepy. Leslie’s wit showed with his “News Corpse.” Fun times, fun times.

Another mentionable highlight: Ricky bobbing for apples. That guy was bobbing as if his life depended on it. I was impressed.
