Cafeteria Tour Stop - The Commons

Just a quick note that the Microsoft Cafeteria Tour will be stopping by The Commons, the new mall and eatery within the Entertainment and Devices west campus, on Wednesday, April 29th from 11:30am to 1pm. Other locations planned for this summer include Advanta and the Bravern building in downtown Bellevue (I've been slacking, apparently). Hope everyone can make it to these historic events!

Spaminals In the Workplace

Nothing says team spirit like carving animal shapes out of something that once resembled a meat product. That's right -- we had a team-building activity using spam! Three teams squared off in competition to build the best spaminal. To the winner went a brand new can of spam. Entries included a prehistoric spamosaurus, a pork-upine, and a horse-shaped, headless road kill of some kind.

   

The pork-upine team walked away with the win, and are the proud recipients of another can of spam. And in case the pictures aren't enough to satisfy your spam fetish, I've included an instructional video below:

Shiny Happy People

                      

Someone else thought they could go on vacation and then walk away without incident. I don't think so. The concept: bathe his entire cube in aluminum foil. Every object, every surface, shiny side out. And then put a strobe light underneath, to increase the viewing pleasure (and possibly induce seizure). My favorite was the single post-it note to the left of his monitor, with a lovingly wrapped push pin.

Of course, the beauty of pulling office pranks is that the act of pranking someone usually leads to lots and lots of new prank ideas. Oh man, I have a great idea that I'm going to hold onto for a while. A few more pics from the event:

        

Coincidentally, RTC B4 is now home to the largest ball of aluminum foil on Microsoft campus. Come check it out before the tourists take over and it becomes un-cool.
