mer finnast bandarikjamenn og thessi corporate stemming herna alveg meirihattar!
eg dyrka casual Fridays thar sem madur getur a mjog svo djarfan hatt synt fram a geggjad einstaklingsedli og frumlegheit og maett i vinnuna i (gisp!) gallabuxum, eg fila inter-office memos i taetlur og sidast en ekki sist tha finnst mer gedveikt ad “check in” a hverjum morgni vid vatnskaelinn – thar sem samstarfsmenn minir tala um nyjasta nytt i heimi sjonvarpsthattanna.

en thad sem mer finnst samt skemmtilegast er dellan fra yfir-yfir-yfir-jet settinu herna vid cornell. til daemis i morgun thegar eg maetti til vinnu i stadlada skrifstofuryminu minu (6’x6’x65”), settist fyrir framan stadlada skrifbordid mitt, dasamlega fallegt stadlad umhverfi (les, kukabrunir og aelugraenir efnisklaeddir skilveggir) alltumvefjandi, tha beid min thessi fallegi tolvupostur fra yfirmanni/konu einni her:

“Dear leaders: Well, we have an important 'reeducation' need relative to our development and stewardship. All of us have become habituated to referring to the Rushmore Conference room as '114'. Lorraine recently reminded me of the major donor stewardship problem this creates: "[the Rushmores] paid $250,000 for the privilege of having their name on it. ".

We have to begin immediately to retrain everyone to refer to this as the Rushmore Conference room. I am asking that we begin with ourselves. Please make every effort to refer to the room by its name. I think we can all readily grasp the problems it creates when we don't.

Please ask your staff and faculty to use the correct name for this room as well.

Thanks! Patsy”

o, hvad eg er glod ad vinna herna!
