eHarbor’s favorite Thanksgiving side dish

Happy Thanksgiving next week! In that spirit, I’ll simply ask: Stuffing or potatoes? It’s a matter of taste which you prefer at Thanksgiving dinner. At eHarbor, Inc., we have a clear winner in this debate. I sent out a survey last month for the November issue of the eHarbor ePort (our company newsletter) and I got the following results.

Potatoes, preferably mashed, are the best when it comes to complementing a delicious turkey dinner. If you combine the number of people who want solely potatoes with those who prefer both potatoes and stuffing, you get 65.1 percent of the voters, a clear majority.

I’m not sure what deep-fried Thanksgiving balls are, but someone likes those, too. There you have it. Potatoes go better with Thanksgiving dinner than stuffing for most eHarbor, Inc. employees. So which do you prefer?

This is the second time I’ve posted our monthly poll results. You can find our other pie chart in the blog entry, “The most colorful pie chart you’ve ever seen.”

The most colorful pie chart you’ve ever seen

Do you want to see a pie chart that is full of colors. I mean Full. Of. Colors. You might have seen some colorful pie charts and graphs before, but I’m positive you haven’t seen one this colorful. I’ll show it to you at the end of this blog entry, but first I want to wish you a happy Halloween in two days!

eHarbor Inc. will have its annual Halloween party tomorrow at noon. I wrote about it in a blog entry, “eHarbor Halloween party to showcase culinary talents,” a few weeks ago. This will be a fun event. We’ll have a chili cook-off (hence the title of my previous blog entry) with several eHarbor employees vying for the title of best chili. Yum yum.

I think I’m most looking forward to the creative costumes people will wear. We’re having a competition for who wears the most creative costumes.

This is where the colorful pie chart comes in.

Each month, I send out a poll to my fellow eHarbarians to ask them about different topics. I then include the results in pie-chart form in the next issue of the eHarbor ePort, our monthly newsletter. We have another issue coming out at the Halloween party, so I’m excited about that. Anyway, for the October issue, we asked people what was the best Halloween costume they ever wore or saw someone else wearing.

And these are the responses we got.

There were so many different ones that I considered not putting them in a pie chart at all. But it looked so nice I just had to do it. Usually, there’s a clear winner followed by a few other responses. In this one, almost every answer only got one vote, offering a variety of results. Feast your eyes on the creative minds of eHarbor’s employees.
