Each year at work we have the Communications Deptartment come through two buildings taking videos of all our staff to show at our holiday party. Whoever comes up with the most creative video wins something. In the 11 years I've been at the company, I have sold more than $100 million in tickets and my creation has given me more recognition than anything.
What I did was take the red and green tickets from our last event, taped them together and created a christmas tree and taped it to our door. We took all of the other colored tickets, created presents for the bottom of the tree and made bows for the top of the gifts with lanyards (what you wear around your neck with the plastic pouch). We put a border around the door with tinsel and lights. Found a brown ticket and made the tree trunk. After so many people were taking pictures of it with their cell phones, HR came to take pictures and then the Media Department came over. With so much attention, I then made a wreath out of the tickets. Now the auditors get to reconcile my tree and wreath but can't take it apart, we'll hang it up again next year.
Pretty funny what gets you recognition. Maybe that's trying to tell me something, lighten up?? I'll let you know if we win something.
