The best part a...XM banned Popcorn popping in '05. The best part about it is one of the production guys did a dramatic audio reinactment - v funny but it's not available to the public.<BR/><BR/>Just imagine this email we got from facilities read aloud with an lord-like authority voice put to dramatic music:<BR/><BR/>February 3, 2005<BR/><BR/>A reminder that Pop Corn is banned from the micro wave ovens in this building. The reason is simple – it catches fire, sets of the smoke alarm, and we evacuate the building into the street – out into the snow for 20 minutes while the fire service responds to the automated alert. THAT IS WHY THERE IS NO POP CORN IN THE VENDING MACHINES. And I can count at least 4 pop corn evacuations over three years.<BR/><BR/>The fire alarm came within a hairs breath of going off early this afternoon during one such incident. All the micro waves are now brightly marked with yellow tape with NO POPCORN. Despite that, a few minutes ago, someone just made some pop corn on the Concourse Level in a so marked micro wave.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>So please – no more pop corn. And you will be held to account if you evacuate this building and that will not be a pleasant experience. If you see someone trying to pop some – don’t call me – tell them to stop immediately and then call me.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>If this plea doesn’t work I will simply remove all the micro waves except those in the café area and turn a camera on those ones so they can be monitored. One way or the other the pop corn will be stopped.<BR/><BR/> <BR/><BR/>Pass the word on to your vendors, consultants , contractors , visitors and all you know that come into this building.Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804566929295986263noreply@blogger.com
