Ping Pong Table Removed, Occupy 33-07.1 Movement Erupts

The first floor of the 33-07 building has become the scene of an internal occupy movement protesting the recent removal of a ping pong table formerly stationed there. Residents of the first floor had complained of the noise generated by ping pong players and a lengthy email thread ensued, discussing the removal of the table and what it would do for employee morale. Ping pong table enthusiasts argued that the nearby cafeteria, ATM machine, and conference rooms had generated just as much noise.
"We had no idea just how popular that game was," said a first floor employee who can now barely reach her desk with all the protesters camping out nearby. The exact demands of the protesters are unclear, but the primary objectives appear to be to get the ping pong table back onto the first floor, and establish a PRO-2121 "Guidelines for Ping Pong Table Use During Shift 1-2". An early draft of PRO-2121 also would establish a NW Ping Pong focal and provide Ping Pong Awareness Training course TR-34987.  Browse Occupy 1st floor photos  Follow the InSite Ping Pong discussion

Myers Briggs Profile Added to SecureBadge

In addition to name and US person status, the SecureBadge has now been extended with employees' personality profile. The four-letter Myers Briggs code will allow employees to better relate to one another and enable managers to assemble teams based on compatible personalities.
"This ushers in a new era for manloading," declared one manager, who has been all too familiar with group incompatibilities.
The personality profile will also appear on employee's inSite profile.  Comment on ways to build team synergy

Siri Interfaced with CORE

An announcement was made Wednesday that a revolutionary Siri interface was added to the CORE network emulation tool, allowing experimenters to speak network topologies into an iPhone and watch them virtually come to life. The interface currently allows specifying node types and how they should be connected, IP addresses, and services that should run on each node. Future voice activated commands include the auto-generation of PowerPoint slides based on a demo topology, and automatic Excel file charting for results. Visit the CORE Siri plug-in App Store page
