1st Trivia |
|
► May
Day features crowning the May Queen,
and dancing around a maypole.
► May-day is
the sea faring ocean distress call, from the French m'aidez
(help me).
► The first piece of unsolicited bulk e-mail (what
will come to be known as spam) was written. When it's sent
two days later, more than 400 people with an Arpanet address
receive a promotional message sent by Gary Thuerk, a marketer
for Digital Equipment Corporation. It's been pretty much downhill
from there.

1st's 'Time To Get A New Job' Notices: |
LEAVE OF ABSENCE FOR SURGERY
We are no longer allowing this practice. As long as you are
employed here, you will need all of whatever you have and should
not consider having anything removed. We hired you as you are,
and to have anything removed would certainly make you less than
we bargained for. Anyone having operations will be FIRED immediately.
PREGNANCY
In the event of extreme pregnancy, you will be allowed to
go to the first aid room when the pains are FIVE MINTUES apart.
IF it is false labor, you will have to take an hour's leave
without pay.
DEATH
This will be accepted as an excuse, BUT we would like two
weeks notice, as we feel it is your duty to teach someone
your job.
