- National Pepper Month!!
I read in the newspaper that y’all might be into spicy things. Good, because November is National Pepper Month! I’m sure people other than me will celebrate and enjoy peppers-a-plenty, but I’ll take mine mild, please. With chocolate milk.
Related Task: tell us about the hottest pepper you’ve ever tried…was it on purpose? How did you feel after?
Alternatively, if you’re not into breathing fire, do you have a favorite peppery dish/etc?
Not much into spicy things, last spicy thing i had was an Asian chicken pizza from hungry Howie’s not sure what is on it to make the spice.
- Sandwich Day
November 3rd is Sandwich Day, and to quote a fictional hero of mine, Liz Lemon: “I believe that all anyone really wants in this life is to sit in peace and eat a sandwich." Hear, hear, Liz. For our local friends in Austin, TX - the best sandwich in your town is the Rumbera arepa from Four Brothers Venezuelan. You’re welcome.
Related Task: tell us what go-to sandwich is? What makes it your go-to? Is it the sandwich or the place or maybe the random little thing they serve on the side?
Alternatively, I know not everyone loves sandwiches like I do, but we could debate the definition of a sandwich all day. What are the requirements? What are the disqualifications?
Not much of sandwich person often just peanut butter sandwich for snack, sometimes ham sandwich that is probably my preferred one. Sometimes a sub at subway though I think i’d say hamburger or pulled pork is the top if that counts as sandwitch.
- Veteran’s Day
First of all, if you’re a veteran, thank you. Second, November 11th is Veteran’s Day here in the States - if you’re unaware, it’s our national holiday to celebrate the service and sacrifice of our various military personnel.
Related Task: tell us a story! Did you serve? Did you grow up in a family that served?
Alternatively, not everyone grew up that way - me included. If not, what are your favorite “Army movies”, as my dad used to call them?
No ties in close family, only movie comes to mind is independence day or maybe terminator.
- Thanksgiving/SpiceGiving
Here in the States, November 23rd is Thanksgiving (it’s always the 4th Thursday of November). I’m just here for the food and the videos of British teenagers trying Thanksgiving food. Spoiler: It’s delicious. It’s also SpiceGiving! This is the global Spiceworks Community’s version of Thanksgiving, which has been celebrated for as long as Sean has had birthdays.
Related Task: tell us what you’re thankful for this year! It’s usually tradition to go around the dinner table and do this, but we can keep it in the comments.
Alternatively, not everyone here celebrates Thanksgiving, but we all celebrate SpiceGiving, so - tell us what you’re spicy about this year! (In a polite way, ‘natch)
Friends, family horses and they helped me so much how I look at trying new things and opportunities. Things i used to be afraid to do or try or never liked are not that bad and even kind of fun.
- Computer Security Day
We’d be cuckoo for cornflakes if we didn’t mention Computer Security Day (Nov. 30th), as it’s almost more important than to our community than food. Hey…I said “almost.” As the title implies, it’s a day to help bring awareness to cybersecurity and its growing scope.
Related Task: tell us what steps you’re taking to increase your cybersecurity awareness and/or posture this year! Any cool/big projects to end the year?
Alternatively, if you don’t care about cybersecurity…please tell us why. 
Better cross training to ensure we can fill in if needed or check each others work, reconsider how domain level admin accounts get used and when. going to attempt PCNSA cert.
