- Appreciation: In honor of Phil Connors, who had to learn to appreciate the town of Punxsutawney in order to escape his personal time loop, we’re going to appreciate the community by reaching out to others. For quest item one, go say something nice / positive to someone you don’t know. Compliment someone’s post, welcome someone to the community , or congratulate someone who just reached the next pepper level . Tag them in the post so they have a better chance of seeing it. Coax those groundhogs out into the light. No sneaky snideness or sarcasm for this step, or you have to do the whole quest all over again… and again… and again…
- Description: Part of the successful navigation of Valentine’s Day is a good description. For this quest item, tell us how you would describe Spiceworks to a friend in six words or less (think bumper sticker size). Alternately, actually design a Spiceworks bumper sticker.
- Expression: For this quest item, tell us how you would express your love if you had to write it on one of those chalky candy hearts (which, by the way, might not be available this year). For our purposes, let’s say you are limited to 3 lines of up to 7 letters each. Alternately, if you hate Valentine’s day, you can design a chalky candy heart that is negative about love, like “Go Away.” Here is a place to practice if you like.
- Recognition: Even vendors need love. For this step, do something nice for a vendor. Like, or comment, or follow… anything that reminds them that they are needed and appreciated in our community.
- Romanticism: In honor of Valentine’s Day, tell us (in a safe-for-work way) the most romantic thing that you have ever done. Alternately, tell us what you have planned for this year. Alternately, if you hate Valentine’s Day, you can tell us the funniest (again in a safe-for-work way) anti-Valentine’s Day thing you’ve done, or seen, or looked up online, for instance a website where you can send dead fish instead of flowers.
- Association: For this step of the quest, show some love to a fellow SpiceHead. Tell us about someone else in the community that you appreciate (in a non-romantic / non-stalker way) and why. [Hint: if you can’t think of anyone, here are some easy targets .]
- Acclamation: This one is easy. Express your appreciation for Spiceworkers, either an individual or as a group. Has one of them ever helped you out? Tell us. Alternately, since you know this quest step seems all self-serving and stuff, tell us what you would do with your time if you got caught in a ten year time loop.
- Ostentation: 6 More Weeks of Winter? Let’s find out: for this quest step, either post a picture of yourself, or a picture of your shadow. Alternately, if that is too invasive for you, you can post a picture of a groundhog.
- Information: Let’s practice our descriptive abilities a little more. For this quest step, go write a product review about a product you have used. (No requirement to be positive for this one. Honesty is best. Just try to at least be polite, like those valentines you had to give in your elementary classroom even to people you didn’t know.)
- Jubilation: Let’s end on a positive note. For the final task in this quest, go post something happy / amazing in the Huzzah thread.

I’m not much of a romantic. It’s typically flowers and home cooked dinner. This year though, is horse backing riding on the beach in Hawaii; we’re here for a family vacation and it is on a whim.

Shout out to Rod-IT, dbeato, & @justin5198-spiceworks . I always look out for their posts in a positive way.

@Spiceworks in general is amazing. I’ve tried to participate in things like Unplugged, On The Air, and various webinars to give back to the community. But an individual shout out to Justin O (Spiceworks), Sean (Spiceworks), Ceci (Spiceworks), Sarah Crook (Spiceworks), and David S (Spiceworks).
