Day 60, part 2

A delightful member of the buildings and grounds staff here always impresses us with her clever Halloween costumes. One year she came as a two-headed Cal football player complete with eye black and shoulder pads. This afternoon she came to share her Halloween cheer as a UC Berkeley employee for hire who can do anything and everything we might need done on campus. She can do it all. She has a tool belt with implements for jobs like painting, roofing, plumbing, and gardening. She pulled a little red wagon full of tools to deliver the mail, be a locksmith, trash collector, mechanic, accountant, carpenter, and even a classroom instructor. She also carried a "work for hire" sign that reassured potential UC employers that they wouldn't need to worry about the furlough, unions, or benefits, because she's prepared to work totally for free!

Happy Halloween!
