Along with the office Halloween party (and the cookies), we had a pumpkin carving. (The googly eye is not normally part of Common’s logo.)

Here’s our group’s entry in the competition, Surprised Pikachu. (“Resurfacing” is one of the things our team is responsible for; it’s the process by which we figure out which houses can be seen by new radio antennas we install.)
I was selected to perform the actual cutting of the pumpkin (following lines drawn by a more artistic co-worker), on the grounds that “Wolf comes from a long line of woodworkers.” I did clarify that it’s more of a dot of woodworkers that I’m descended from, but still used techniques from Matthias Wandel on a few of the trickier bits.

And my personal favorite pumpkin: the group that carved theirs into the shape of the high-frequency radios we use for fast connections, and called it the “Pie Speed Plan”.
