VI SPIRIT WEEK - BROUGHT TO YOU BY TACO!
Taco here.
If you're new to the Taco Blog, let me break it down to you land-walkers. I am the namesake of Visual Interest's blog, the VI mascot & resident party animal. I am mounted to the gallery wall, where I watch over the comings & goings of this crazy office - because of that, I like to keep my admirers updated on current events via this blog.
I’m rather lonely these days with all my land-walkers currently quarantined in their own little fishbowls following the stay-at-home order. My VIers did something fun & creative to lift everyone’s spirits, including my own!
Last week, VI took on the challenge of doing a VIrtual Spirit Week of their own. Remember, like you did in middle school? Cue wacky hair-dos, crazy creativity & support for all the things we love & miss the most:
DAY 1: PAJAMA DAY!
On the first day of VI Spirit Week, my favorite party peeps donned their pajamas! Although, I suspect most of their work from home wardrobe has involved pajamas or sweats, but on this day, they celebrated it! The VIers voted on their fave & Chris S. won with his “Pandemic PJ” suit!
DAY 2: CANCELED SPORTS DAY!
My land-walkers are soooo bummed about their favorite sports being cancelled & postponed. VI was even planning an awesome Rockies Opening Day party that would have blown everyone out of the water. Even though they can’t be cheering their favorite teams on right now, they are still supporting them. Before they know it, they’ll be kicking back in Coors Field & yelling at their TVs.
On “Cancelled Sports Day”, Dorthea was voted as the most spirited with her extensive Cubs get up & solo tailgating!
DAY 3: WACKY WEDNESDAY!
I think my humans are really starting to lose their minds, because on Wednesday things got…wacky! Mismatched patterns, crazy hair & weird props galore! Lisa went home with the Day 3 Spirit Day honor with her “social distancing bear”.
DAY 4: THROWBACK THURSDAY!
Throwback to when you could pop into your favorite workout class, grab dinner with friends, get a sunburn on a brewery patio & globe trot! Thursday the VI crew recreated their favorite pre-pandemic activities & had a lot of laughs pulling it off. Our TBT trophy winner was Doug, brainchild of VI spirit week, dressed in his camping gear.
DAY 5: VI SPIRIT DAY!
On the final day of spirit week, we celebrated VI by donning our iconic chartreuse green, supporting Lighthearted, poking fun at our coworkers & celebrating all the things that we love about VI! Benjamin went home with Friday’s trophy because of his impressive PhotoShop skills & tribute to yours truly.
At the end of the week, our beloved Bobbi went home with the Most Overall Spirit award, by rockin’ it & participating everyday!
Not interacting with each other daily in our office has been something to adapt to, but we are working together & keeping the VI spirit alive...(VI)rtually! A special thanks to our morale committee for organizing Spirit Week - it was much needed!
I miss my party peeps, my VIslanders, my land-walkers & mi gente, but watching them pull off this much VI spirit gives me hope for the day they all return to 3444 Brighton Blvd.
Ta-ta for now,
Taco.
