End Radio Silence

Subject: E-mail Communication Update

Hello, everyone.

Just a quick message to update everyone on the e-mailing monitoring by Opcom and the government. I am pleased to report they are now satisfied that no other suspicious activity has been going on since the arrest of Jessica Holmes. This means that things can go back to the way they were before. I should also remind you that we still have company rules regarding e-mail use.

Thank you.

Oh and I took the liberty of creating a mailing group for us lot. By which I mean me, Andy, Joe and Gareth.

Sounds like a plan to me, as long as it doesn't involve llamas crapping on my car!

Not that I know of. You think that Tom would have taken care of it.

Terror-what?

From: Tom
To: EVERYONE

Subject: Lack of E-mail Communication at AIDS

Hello, everyone.

I’m sure that the entire staff here at AIDS has noticed the lack of recent email communication (and by recent, I mean since the second week in October), and I do wish to send everyone an informative email to explain this.

On 12 October 2010, the executives of AIDS discovered that our new intern, Jessica Holmes, was a member of a local terrorist cel and planning on using the data hosted on our servers to commit an act of terrorism against the British government. Thanks to the efforts of Opcom, we’ve managed to collect enough evidence against her to put her in prison for a long, long time.

Unfortunately, this means that Opcom and the British government will be monitoring all e-mail communication at AIDS, so please, for the love of God, be careful about what you send. As long as your e-mails don’t contain anything that could be construed as breaking the law, we’ll be fine.

Thank you.

Is there a full moon or something?

From: Andy
To: Chris, Joe, Gareth

Subject: Missing persons

Have you guys heard the rumours of employees going missing in our office? Apparently a couple of people worked late last week and haven't been seen since. Seems a bit strange to me, nothing interesting happens in this place. Maybe it's all a joke.

From: Chris
To: Andy, Joe, Gareth

Subject: RE: Missing persons

I overheard some people chatting about that in the break room. Sounds as though it could be true. They said the security guard heard some screams and went to investigate. But all he found was some animal hair or something.

From: Joe

Subject: RE:RE: Missing persons

Well I dunno about you guys, but I'm not planning to do any overtime in the near future!

Sexual Harassment Lawsuits to follow...

From: Tom
To: EVERYONE

Subject: Dress Down Friday Reminder

Hi All,

As I'm sure many of you are already aware, Dress Down Friday will be commencing at the end of this week. But hold your horses! Before you go and start thinking about what outfit you plan to wear, this isn't just any old dress down day. The AIDS managers and I thought it would be a little more interesting if the days were themed. So we a little help from the suggestion box, we've come up with a few ideas which we feel should make things a little more fun for everyone. The first theme we have selected is Shirtless; quite simply no member of staff is allowed to wear a shirt. When it comes to formal dress, this is one of the main players. So that makes it a prime target for dressing down the place. The following week it is going to be Commando; so no one is allowed to wear any underwear at all. On the third week it shall be Redneck; yes our inbred brothers from over the pond. We've all got a check shirt somewhere in our collection. This does not mean you have to act like one though. The final planned theme is Jew; we all love the Jews and now its your chance to don a skull cap and get all Yiddish.

That is the plan for the next 4 weeks. However we are open to suggestions for themes to use in the future. Leave them in the suggestion box or send me an email.

From: Mary
To: EVERYONE

Subject: RE: Dress Down Friday Reminder

I’ve got to say that I’m against the idea of Shirtless Friday. I find it demeaning to women and only gives the men in the office an excuse to ogle the shirtless women. I am firmly against it.

Subject: Dress Down Friday Participation

Hi All,

In case you were wondering, Dress Down Friday participation is mandatory. Failure to comply will result in disciplinary action. Thank you.

Subject: RE:RE: Dress Down Friday Reminder

It will be at the woman’s discretion.

Tom Jones

From: Jessica
To: EVERYONE

Subject: RE: Dress Down Friday Reminder

I think this is a wonderful idea. I think that the office is a bit uptight sometimes, and I think that this is a great way to loosen the tie, so to speak. I’ll be there with bells on (and a shirt off). ;)

From: Gareth
To: Joe, Chris, Andy

Subject: JESSICA

Okay, did you guys read Jessica’s reply? I’m REALLY looking forward to this Friday.

Here's a llama, there's a llama, and another little llama...

To: EVERYONE
From: Joe

Subject: FWD: Llamas

In today’s world of purse dogs and whingy cats, wouldn’t it be nice to own a pet that’s both uncommon and useful?

Well, look no more.

Llamas, INC. is here to help. The llama is often thought of as only an animal to be ranched, but the truth is that llamas make great, loyal pets who can bring you years of fun and joy. Did you know llamas not only serve as great watch animals, but great guard animals as well? Imagine the look on the face of the next burglar to break into your house as he or she is faced with a biting, spitting guard llama. In addition to guard animal capabilities, you can take the hair after you shear your pet (keeps them cool and comfortable) and make it into a sweater that will keep you warm in the winter!

If you’re interested in owning one of these majestic animals, we are prepared to offer great deals on bulk purchases and even offer discounts to llama collectors. Please, email us at llamas@llamainc.co.uk or call us at 01135 663291 and order yours right away!

Would anyone care to explain to me why there are fifty llamas currently occupying the car park? They have caused heavy damage to several cars and…well, the less said about the feces strewn everywhere, the better. I noticed Joe sending out the forward about the llamas, so when I find out who perpetrated this llama invasion, they shall be suspended without pay. If nobody decides to come forward, I shall have to think up an appropriate punishment for everyone. Thank you.

Maybe you SHOULDN'T bring your child to work day...

From: Tom
To: EVERYONE

Subject: Bring your children to work day

Hi All,

After the amount of positive feedback we received from this last year. We thought we would do the same again this year. The date is still to be confirmed, however I think the aim is to plan it to coincide with the next school holiday. This way it won't interfere with school.

As a precaution to avoid last years incident, which I shall not mention. We ask that you don't let your children roam the office freely, for safety as much as security.

Tom Jones

From: Tom
To: George

Subject: Bring your children to work day

Hi George,

After your outrageous behaviour last year, I will be booking a forced holiday for you on the day of the event. I'm sorry but we can't put the young girls and boys at risk again. If only we had known what would happen last year, we might have done the same. If you know what is good for and want to avoid another lawsuit, then I suggest you do not argue.

You should buy 60 inch plasma TVs for everyone who’s there on BYCtWD so that we can rub it in George’s face. Then we can say, “Ha ha, that’s what you get for being a paedophile.”

Wait a second, does he have a record? If he did, why the hell did you hire him?

From: Tom

You know we can’t afford that. Besides, employee records are confidential, and who I hire is my business.

Suggest THIS.

From: Tom
To: EVERYONE

Subject: The new Suggestion Box

Hi All,

As I'm sure you are all aware, over the past month we have introduced a new suggestion box. The intention of this was to let you all put forward any ideas you have which might benefit the company or your productivity. Or just to point out those little things that can make all the difference. As it is getting near the end of the month, I thought it was about time to open up the box and see what suggestions have been put in there.

I am pleased to say that there have already been a number of great suggestions in this short time. These things include an upgrade to the video conferencing set-up in Meeting Room 1. This was being considered anyway, but we shall now be going ahead with it. Also in consideration is Dress Up Friday, either every week or the last Friday of every month . A few of the lesser important suggestions will be discussed at the next managers meeting.

I would also like to add that this is an important opportunity and one that should be taken seriously. I say this because there were a number of you that thought it would be funny to put in a few “joke” suggestions. A few of which happen to be in-front of me at this moment are “Pirate Wednesday”, “Bra-less Monday”, “Upgrading the computer system to the same one God used to create the Universe” and one which simply reads “MOAR INTERWEBZ”.

Since these were anonymous I cannot blame anyone directly, though I shall try my hardest to find the culprits. You are just wasting my time and everyone else’s that helps read through the suggestions. For the majority of you that did put in sensible ideas, we thank you.

Tom Jones

Subject: Break room cleanliness

Attention all AIDS Staff -

Yesterday, the custodians informed me that there was an unidentified white substance on the break room table. From what they're telling me, it smelled like bleach and had the consistency of slime, which leads me to believe that someone has been masturbating in the break room. I hate to be one of those managers that complains about everything, but masturbation at work is completely unacceptable. I mean, at least go in the washroom or something. In any case, break room privileges have been revoked for the week, unless someone would like to confess to doing this.
