Part I: Clips from the editing room floor
Jan. 12th, 2012 04:01 pmToday, I spent 90 minutes or so crafting an e-mail to all staff that goes over the fantastically exciting world of our building's heating and air conditioning system.
Of course I tried to liven it up a bit. And, just as much 'of course', I was told to remove the fun bit.
So... here is the fun bit in all of it's glory.
"Let’s use a graphic example. Let’s say that your child/spouse/pet/uncle has done some particularly foul and smelly bodily function in your car. It’s 20 degrees outside, and you need to drive home. Your heater works well enough, but not enough to keep warm if you keep the windows down. If you keep the windows up, you may not be able keep your eyes from watering enough to drive safely. Just as you are trying to find a balance of venting and heating, that’s the same thing I do. Except I have a bus filled with 200 people going down the highway."
Needless to say, since I wasn't able to include that, my reputation is ruined.
Woe!
(Good thing they're letting me show some fun videos at the next General Staff meeting - like this one.)
