HOLY CHRIST. Please, please, please this needs all the awards. The skill and time that went into this is ridiculous! Not to mention over the top if DaSkunk doesn't have access to a free clinic.

Lets start with on the day of shipping, I get notice my "Decorate My Cubicle Gift" has shipped. It is followed by a note that says that according to my apparent sense of humor I will appreciate this gift but may want to test it out at home before I determine if it is safe for work.

My interest from that point forward was piqued! What could this be? What could possible be not safe for work in a cubicle exchange? A little background, I do HIV prevention research and a pretty renowned non-profit. I coordinate the ONLY HIV related study in the entire organization and am known for my zest for the project. I also am the only person in the office who decorates my cubicle. Past efforts have included putting the executive managements faces on Mount Rushmore for presidents day, then making all the executive ladies into first ladies. Everyone looks forward to the holidays at my cubicle.

This year will be no different.

Late this afternoon, I get a call from reception that I have a computer monitor to pick up at the front desk. I already have two at my desk and didn't order any electronics for my study, so I am thoroughly confused. I walk to the front of the office and this enormous box is there. Like HDTV monitor style box. I see "Greatlin" on it and know immediately. CUBICLE. I walk back trying to be nonchalant about this huge box. Meanwhile no one gives a shit because they are used to me and all my reddit exchange bs in the office. They are now just as curious as I am. I know better from the warning then to let anyone join me.

Tape comes off. And its a wreath. Christmas decorations? WTF? I am baffled. I go grab my coworker who mind you happens to be one of my supervisors. I am like, I have this huge box of Christmas decorations! As she is telling me that I better wait until after halloween to put everything up, she starts cracking up. I DID NOT EVEN NOTICE!

DaSkunk had meticulously attached condoms with tape to zip ties all around a wreath with lights and a 20 foot garland. He even attached sparkly pinecones to accentuate the red wrappers! Included was an extension cord and a wreath hanger, as well as extra pinecones!

My initial thought was "I just bought 1000 of these same condoms for the study, I hope they don't think I took participant condoms for this..." because let me tell you, it would not be beyond me to do such a thing for decoration.

I love halloween, but I have never been so excited for it to be over. It is so ON. That reddit algorithm is pretty incredible. This I would say was a perfect match! Thanks DaSkunk and keep that furry of yours wrapped tight! Thanks for shedding "light" on prevention! HUGS!
