Game Day

Hey front office/Dear diary,

So today because there was so many of us, I didn't have a desk during the morning. So I took out my laptop and what amazing game do I have on my laptop? SUPER TEXT TWIST! STT took over the attention of the office for about 2 hours, especially for Naomi and I. She even stayed an hour and a half after she was supposed to leave because it's so addicting. But even though we had the shared brainpower of Joe, Aaron, Tyler, Dan, Naomi and I no one was able to beat my highest score from working aloneeeeee

Then after lunch, Dan and I decorated downstairs for Peggy's retirement party and the IS&T staff holiday party. It looks very festive down there and I must say all the credit goes to Dan and I, except for this sign: http://twitpic.com/ts9yd. You all seriously need to check that baby out!

Then we spent the afternoon with some more games. Group attempts at Sporcle games and 50 states in 3 minutes games consumed us for an hour.

Oh and we did some work somewhere in there too.

Game day = Awesome day.

Also, Aaron got some awesome time at Sudoku too.

Oh and Aaron is now known as the Muffin Man, which means when we're all back from break, he's going to buy us muffins =]

The Weather Outside is Frightful

So it's raining cats, dogs, men etc. Everyone has been odering in food from every which where. I hope you guys are tipping the delivery folk!!!

Office Secret Santa/Chanukkah Harry?

Hey guys!!

It's that non-denominational winter holiday time again!!

I know it's a hard pressed economy but is anyone interested in a front office secret gifting process that defines our america today?

The limit would be 10-15 bucks and it might be a way to foster interoffice holiday spirit. Gag gifts are also accepted.

Comment here to let me know ASAP.

UPDATE:I have sent out an IS&T Front Office Wide invite. Accept and on the date specified we will draw names.

SEOND UPDATE: Wow guys, epic fail. ME and Niomi will be in a not so secret santa. Thanks.

First Official Mac-Theft Attempt!

Dearest Readers,

At around 12:55pm today, Aaron tried his first attempt at stealing my computer.

Here is how it went down:

As Dan was leaving his shift and I was moving my stuff over to his desk to sign myself in, Aaron sneakily went over to the desk where I had left my Mac. He nabbed the laptop and slyly put it under his desk. As I was still moving my stuff over to the front desk, I still didn't notice.

However, Aaron should first done some observational research.

If he had been making observations about my computing habits today, he would have heard the ping of Gchat on my Gmail. SO, as he was placing my laptop under his desk, he should have closed my computer in order to mute any sounds, BUT he was foiled as my friend Bryan Gchatted at me.

So, Aaron, it would behoove you to research your mark before you try to make the snag.

Sad Score: GChat: 1 Aaron: .5

I give Aaron the .5 because he did actually take my Mac, but it wasn't until I heard the Gchat did I notice it was gone. Kudos to Aaron.

Stay tuned for another possible theft attempt as the weeks roll on

A salute to Aaron!

Hello fellow IS&T student-staff!

So it appears I've never wrote on here so clearly I had to make my mark!

Once again, do not be fooled by Aaron's delightful exterior. He is a man of many skills, clearly a Renaissance man. Not only is he the youngest non-student in our office with a background in engineering (ohmygawd!) but he is also quite the eloquent writer (something that I am not). On Wednesday, I had to hand in my final project for my Experimental Psychology class which was 50% of my grade!!! So while I was at work on Tuesday, Aaron helped me edit my paper, taking out all my grammatical faux-pas and going through it line-by-line. He was there til about 5:45, he even asked Sir James to wait!!!! And even after staying to help me, he gave me his aim screenname (I know you all want it but you can't have it!), if I needed anymore help! To this, I salute our "Respected Sir!"

Let us appreciate and enjoy his presence until the horrible day that he is gone =[

Love you all,
S.Koomz
