Just because Cinco de Mayo falls on a Tuesday this year does not mean that you have to sacrifice partying it up. We have some great tips on how to get your work done and still fiesta in a very festive way.

Decorate Your Cubicle with the Stuff in Your Cubicle
This may be a little tricky. We suggest using only the office supplies that you can sneak past your boss. It is a recession and if they find out about your scheme, you could get in trouble.







That being said, Post-it Notes are the perfect decoration. Stick them together end to end to form a streamer. Then you can cut triangles out along one side to create a flag-like shape. But make sure you hang on to the scraps for confetti as well.

Make A Piñata with Handy Supplies
What's a Cinco de Mayo party without a piñata? The best way to make one in your office is to find some of those handy cardboard coffee cups you most likely have stocked up in your break room. We recommend decorating the outside with some of the leftover Post-it scraps to make it look nice.

Once you've completely covered the outside, put something inside (candy or maybe just the breath mints you carry around), tape some tissue paper to the bottom of that sucker and hang it up somewhere. Use a ruler or a hole punch to hit it and eventually the tissue will rip unleashing whatever you chose to fill your cup with.

Serve Snacks & Refreshments
Finally, you should feed your guests (or coworkers who have to put up with your shenanigans). Get a few bags of Doritos or whatever you have handy from your office snack machine and share.

For those interested in whetting their whistle -- well, there's just no way to make tequila in the office. Perhaps sneak in a few small bottles. We recommend Casa Noble tequilas as they are quite tasty but you may have to sneak that in inside of a travel coffee mug. If you prefer not to throw back shots at work, find a mixer. Just about every office has free coffee in the break room so why not spice up a cup with a little liquor. If there's no coffee, just go with tap water to cut it a bit or maybe one of your cube mates has some Diet Coke you can throw in there.
