What People Do At Work, A Follow Up

If you recall the e-mail about the testing of an office refrigerator, well folks, I have an update. This just goes to show that a little testing can get you a new fridge!

Do you recall many months ago I forwarded you the results of some scientific tests on our refrigerators? (He stuck a thermometer in them.) The fridge which failed those tests was replaced today. I'm not sure exactly when, but I walked past that room on my way back from filling my water cup and the new one was there! It just appeared. It was still the old one when I returned from lunch. Hmmm...maybe some investigaton is needed.

What People Do At Work...

The following is from an e-mail I saw today, that as joking as it may seem, is very real. As you can see, some people just really want to test anything they can!

If you don't use the refrigerators in the kitchen, you can delete this message.

This message is for informational purposes only.

On 10 Feb 2010 I conducted a study of the temperatures in the two refrigerators located in the kitchen near EC-G utilizing scientific methods and instrumentation*.

The findings of the study are as follows:

Refrigerator on the right (looking at the front of the refrigerators)

Top compartment** (degrees F) 0
Bottom compartment (degrees F) 32

Refrigerator on the left

Top compartment (degrees F) 32
Bottom compartment (degrees F) 55***

*I stuck a thermometer in the refrigerator compartments.
**Traditionally known as the freezer on this refrigerator.
***Beverages can be cooled utilizing the ice machine near the real estate division.

Laissez-Faire Blogging

I'm going to start doing something different! Or that's what I tell myself. (I talk to myself a lot)!

You see, in my drafts here at blogger, I have a blog of things I like and dislike. Initially I was going to make it a blog all on it's own. I have some silly pictures of me that are thumbs up or thumbs down (for like/dislike). Then, to the right, my thing that I like or dislike.

Instead of making one long post that no one reads; I'll just add one like and one dislike (unless the occasion calls for change) in addition to my usual laissez-faire blog and word of the day!

Sound like a plan to you? Good then! (Wait, did you just say "no"? Unacceptable!)

So, now . . . onward with the blogging (laissez-faire style)! ... ... ...

Blog-
Short week this week with the holiday Monday and it's a stressful one where I am dodging some proverbial stinging and fiery darts while man handling two deadlines! You might have noticed, or not noticed at all, I did not blog early Thursday. Well to be honest, I had no time. I left work to go to an appointment, and then returned to work with pizzas in hand to feed the crew. Here it is, near 11 PM and I'm blogging while waiting for some prints! But alas, I shall get this published some time today!
