Hi all,

I'd just like to clarify that Pretend Office has no problem with Esteemed Partners following Henry's suggestion for today and wearing all black in protest, if you must, but Partners must all abide by the normal company dress code (as per contracts, also found somewhere on the Intranet).

If anyone's looking for Jerry from Client Outreach, note that he's been sent home after taking the invitation to "black up" the wrong way and causing offence to Arianna from Counting.

Thankyou.

Just to let everyone know that there are problems in the Research
department today, due to internet problems. Apparently there's a viral
called SODA which has effected millions of websites and is turning
them all black.

If you see any black websites on your computer, please note that that
means you have probably been infected with the viral and you should
call IT immediately.

If your research needs are urgent, please wait until at least tomorrow.

Kind regards

Hi All,

Thanks Russel! It's great when the team pulls together like this!

Maybe we could include a joke of the week (or "weak"!!!!!)?!

Thankyou.

hey guys!

As part of our Don't Be So Evil initiative the comms and press team are
trying to encourage the tactical use of humour in public facing
communications (within certain agreed limits). This Week Notes thing might
be just the opportunity for some of that. Can we perhaps brainstorm around
the use of a pun? - the idea of using Weak instead of Week immediately
suggests itself.

Just a thought. Giles - great work! Phil - well done!
