We’re taking tradition in a spooky new direction. WE13 will turn the Wednesday night Ice Cream Social into the first-ever “iScream Social!

It’s going to be social, and it’s going to be fun. We’re going to have plenty of Halloween treats without any of the tricks. We’re also going to have a costume contest with prizes awarded for:

• Best Overall Costume
• Best Baltimore Inspired Costume
• Best Engineering Inspired

You can read the costume guidelines and contest rules below.

Because this is a historical event, we want pictures! We’re going to have a social media photo booth where you can share, pose or tweet a picture with friends and colleagues.

The WE experience has always been about experiencing new things, and this will be one experience you won’t want to miss. It’ll haunt you forever ...

HBR - Please Stop Complaining About How Busy You Are

We've all been there.  When someone asks how we're doing, we say we're "busy", or "swamped", or "slammed".  This article discusses why we need to rethink our response, to get past this cycle of pushing ourselves because it seems like everyone else is pushing too.
