Whether you\u2019re planning to roll into the office as a cowboy, a vampire, or the Barbie\/Ken duo, it\u2019s best to know what\u2019s cool (and what\u2019s not) before you grab that wig and face paint.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/KSIIFM.png\" alt=\"93.1 KISS FM logo\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"461\" data-end=\"692\">Plenty of local workplaces across the Hub City \u2014 from Texas Tech offices to downtown banks and local shops \u2014 embrace a little Halloween spirit. But not every office is on board, and even if they are, there\u2019s a right way to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Check Before You Dress<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"729\" data-end=\"999\">First thing\u2019s first \u2014 talk to your manager or HR before you go full zombie. Especially if this is your first Halloween at your job. The last thing you want is to walk into a serious staff meeting dressed like a giant taco while everyone else is in business casual.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/awesome98.com\/?p=400271\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Lubbock Drivers Think They\u2019re Great\u2014But Most Would Fail This Test<\/a><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1263\">And make sure your costume won\u2019t interfere with your job. If you\u2019re moving between work sites, stocking shelves, or serving customers, you\u2019ll want something easy to move in. If you can\u2019t sit down or see over your mask, it\u2019s probably not worth the struggle.<\/p>\n<p>Keep It Professional, Lubbock<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1307\" data-end=\"1609\">It sounds simple, but it\u2019s easy to forget \u2014 use good judgment. Avoid anything offensive, controversial, or too revealing. (Yes, even if you\u2019re working from home \u2014 Zoom cameras exist.) A good rule of thumb? If you wouldn\u2019t wear it to the company Christmas party, don\u2019t wear it on Halloween either.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1611\" data-end=\"1928\">It\u2019s also smart to check your schedule before the big day. If you\u2019ve got client calls, interviews, or video meetings, plan around them. Bring a change of clothes just in case things get serious mid-day \u2014 because nothing kills spooky fun faster than having to discuss Q4 budgets while dressed as Beetlejuice.<\/p>\n<p>Getty Images for ReedPop<\/p>\n<p>Getty Images for ReedPopHave Fun, But Read the Room<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1970\" data-end=\"2153\">Halloween\u2019s a great excuse to loosen up and enjoy a little fun at work \u2014 something we could all use here in Lubbock as the fall rush hits.

Because whether you\u2019re at a downtown office, a United store, or working at one of our schools, the goal is to make people smile \u2014 not to scare off HR.<\/p>\n<p>What is your favorite &#8220;hidden gem&#8221; in Lubbock that most people don&#8217;t know about?<\/p>\n<p class=\"photogallery-credit\">Gallery Credit: Landon King<\/p>\n<p>Where is the best place to get coffee in Lubbock?<\/p>\n<p class=\"photogallery-credit\">Gallery Credit: Landon King<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Costume Season Meets the Office It\u2019s almost Halloween in Lubbock \u2014 and if you\u2019re anything like me, you\u2019re&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":19635,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[168,170,169],"class_list":["post-19634","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-lubbock","tag-lubbock","tag-lubbock-headlines","tag-lubbock-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19634"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19634\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
