Mold Fumigation[]
From: Michelle Duroskova
To: All Blade-01 Employees
To all employees,
After a study and estimate from two independent inspectors, management has elected to go with the fumigation option for the mold problem in our service corridors.
This option allows the largest area of space to be treated at one time. The inspectors have informed us that we may have to do this process six times a year. The fumigation will only take place during the night shift, so most people reading this e-mail will not be inconvenienced.
TODAY/ TOMORROW: 2nd Floor, West & East Corridor
Next week’s fumigation location will be communicated to you via e-mail.
For those of you who are working during the night shift. There are plenty of risks with fumigation. The lack of residual protection, possible damage of materials, and toxicity. Please use caution and avoid all corridors during fumigation.
Thank you for your co-operation!

Morning Fruit Warning[]
From: Michelle Duroskova
To: All Blade-01 Employees
Greetings to all,
We have noticed for the last couple of weeks, that there isn’t fruits left for breakfast on the 3rd floor around 8H30am when most of the people are not in yet.
Please be respectful of your colleagues and limit yourself to 1 (one) fruit for oranges, apples, banana, etc... and a reasonable quantity of the berries. Furthermore, those fruits are for your breakfast and not to complete your lunch bag.
Thank you for your co-operation!

New Fragrance Rule[]
From: Isabella Trembliska
To: All Blade-01 Employees
To all employees,
Please note that due to staff sensitivity, the office’s strict NO FRAGRANCE rule is serious. Some of you have spread the rumour that it was all a joke e-mail. ■
THE NO FRAGRANCE RULE IS 100% REAL.
Again, here’s a reasonably complete list of products we’re concerned about:
Perfume, cologne, aftershave, scented hand or body lotions or cosmetics, scented soap, deodorant, shampoo or conditioner, hair gels and sprays, sunscreen, insect repellent, essential oils, scented candles, clothing washed with scented detergent, and fragrant fabric softeners or dryer sheets.
Just this morning I had to send an employee home and fined them for two hours of work. They had been told no fragrances and had been careful not to use cologne or aftershave, but one of them had used hair gel, which was immediately and obviously fragrant.
Be aware of the seriousness of this issue and refrain from wearing any fragrance.
Thank you in advance.

Flies in the office[]
From: Michelle Duroskova
To: All Blade-01 Employees
Hello Everyone,
After an extensive investigation that included hiring an infestation specialist we have figured out where the fruit fly problem originated.
The problem is stemming from the recycle bins for the food and beverage cans. For some reason, most employees are not completely emptying and/or rinsing out their cans before placing them in the bins.
We kindly ask that you take the time to empty and rinse all cans and containers before placing them in the bins. This will greatly help us to rid the office of the fruit fly problem.
Thank you for your co-operation and understanding!

CodeHex Update[]
From: Lenka Muzik
To: Zuzana Matejkova
Zuzana,
CodeHex 3.1.0 is now available!
Here is the list of changes from the last version: New features
CodeHex Desktop
>CodeHex-Chex now supports a local dictionary personalized to each user.
>After exporting, the binary that allows the user to navigate to the file now also offers the possibility to directly open the binary hybrid blend state in its associated editor.
>Prep-Wizard widget now accepts mouse clicks on the asset rootname to open it (very similar to the recent ultra-code new range documents widget). The mouse icon is now modifying to better show the user that the
highlighted asset is clickable and actionable (instead of dormant).
CodeHex Web
>Signal-YANN real time delayed update through ALET through all Code-Hex Web (no more F10 to refresh the page). This requires a Prep-Wizard trigger to run the T-NEILC.
>Find & Replace feature including scoping impact by scissor language and time range.
>Intermediate Progress View: global progress, progress by socket type, code assets that are fully encoded, partially encoded and not yet encoded. Managers can also monitor which code assets are out-of-date.
>Positive and Negative Feedback during exportation. Optimized the exportation from > 52 minutes down to 27 minutes and displayed progress. Added the ability to select single binary language for even shorter processing time. The import and export is now cancellable at any time and does not result in a crash state holding pattern. For now, only one authorized user can import and export at the same time.
Bug fixes
>Search and Replace
>Performance optimization of the global search.
>Fix a crash when trying a search and then a replace on a metadata of type string but having no formatting capabilities.
General
>Fix a huge performance degradation when a lot of files were checked out by a CodexHex user.
>Copy/Paste from Lync application to script view no longer causes CodexHex to crash.
The CodeHex Team,

Ball Prank[]

Zuzana,
Nice job on setting up the ball pit at Petra’s desk. I hope I am here to see her face when she comes back from vacation. I really hope that Talwar and Oshiro do not cut their London visit short. They are not huge fans of pranks.
Make sure to clean it up before they come back.

Subject: Lost Pass-Port
Officer Collins,
l just realized that my Pass-Port is missing. It may have been stolen. There was a strange augmented homeless person who bumped into me when I left work. I think they may have picked my pocket.
I am going on vacation tomorrow to Reunion Island for two weeks.
Please call or let me know if there is any problem.

Toilets Memo[]
From: Michelle Duroskova
To: All Blade-01 Employees
To all employees,
We would like to bring to your attention several events that took place in the restrooms, especially concerning the toilets.
Last few days, many service calls were placed through our Building Manager related to clogged toilets. Despite the use of multiple special products, they were not able to uncork them properly and a plumber had to come on site to fix the problems.
For ech
visit, it was realized that the toilets had the same problem: They were clogged due to a massive and excessive use of toilet paper.
This problem causes additional and unnecessary costs to the company.
TIP: Simply flush more frequently rather than fill it with a bunch of paper like we are filling a stuffed turkey during the Holidays! Believe me, this will greatly help... or at least minimize any other interventions from the plumber! :)
Thank you for your co-operation!

Troutfire v7 Review[]
From: Zuzana Matejkova
To: Rudolf Ammer
Rudolf,
If I had to describe Troutfire v7 in two words it would be: "Problems" and “Puzzling.”
We should not download the latest update of Troutfire v7. The latest version of this software takes many of the disappointing aspects of v6 and repackages them as optional aspects. It's poor design and the user interface feels like Troutfire is purposely trying to get in the way of your work instead of helping you.
The color scheme for EVERYTHING in the menus involves black and grey. In all other versions of Troutfire, the default colors were clear:
• "GREEN" means "CLEAR"
• "YELLOW" means "MINOR ISSUE"
• "RED" means "MAJOR ERROR"
They have been replace with:
• "LIGHT GREY" means "CLEAR"
• "MEDIUM GREY" means "MINOR ISSUE"
• "DARK GREY" means "MAJOR ERROR"
I’ve tried working with this and made more mistakes than I can count. Also, I’m not sure how they did it, but multiple cell copy & pasting is now worse than ever.
I recommend that nobody on the team update to Troutfire v7 until the first update is released. Too many bugs and too many horrible choices.
