Last week at the pizza party there was a contest to guess the number of pieces of candy in the cup. Nate guessed the closest without going over. Nate guessed 256 pieces and there was 268. Come grab your prize, Nate! Congratulations!
Operation Enduring Freedom is go!
Congrats on two weeks of 100% accurate random shelving checks. And for our loyal and steadfast troops, we have cookies at the Basement Desk. I couldn't fine festive fall-colored M&Ms, so I hope you can make do with the original kind.
So take a cookie! You earned it.
Over and out.
The Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota has released the following educational statement to help people understand what happened on Saturday at the football game to Coach Kill. Please take a moment to read it since you never know when an emergency can happen to you or someone you know. I also want to remind everyone about the location of the defibrillator in the building. It is located on the 1st floor by the bathrooms in the red box.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let a supervisor know.

Hey all,
For all your success in Operation Enduring Liberty (two weeks with no shelving mistakes!), there are cookies at the Basement desk for all of you. Enjoy!
And eat them all because I don't want to bring them home.
