A productive work day here at the Lo.Co., where the presence of the Company Inspector continues to incite some concern over whether we’re really performing to the best of our abilities, but we soldier on. The Inspector has thus far proven to be unflappable in the face of Employee Code of Conduct (ECC) violations, but I have noticed her taking notes. Regardless, she herself has adapted to company life with remarkable ease, and unfailingly provides assistance to whichever department requires it. Our staff is most grateful and impressed.

We dropped off K.Lo at the Outsourcer, where she would exchange valentines with her coworkers and eat a meal of many red things, such as the strawberries our company contributed. N.Lo accompanied us on our quest to explore two local produce markets, satisfying the Kitchen Staff’s recent (increased) obsession with providing the best nutrition possible for our company. I’m pleased to report success in this mission.

The afternoon was spent catching up on paperwork and training the Company Inspector to use the Wii, an important skill to have in our company if one wishes to go far.

Absolutely Not

MEMO

TO: K.Lo
CC: The Manager
FROM: The Housekeeping Staff
RE: Tea Parties

Please be advised that while The Manager attends to paperwork, it is more than fine to work independently on your Tea Party projects. However, it is not fine to use real water without managerial supervision. And it is really, really not fine to obtain that water unassisted. Especially when the water isn't from the sink.

Special thanks, however, for not serving said "tea" to your coworker.

Disgustedly Yours,
The Housekeeping Staff

1. We have added a new bulletin board in the Break Room to display company-wide notices and greeting card-type accolades. Please check it regularly.

2. Congratulations to K.Lo, who has learned to employ the phrase "Excuse me" after burping.

3. We don't fix what isn't broken: If N.Lo decides to pass out on the couch or in his crib early, before his last feeding and uniform change, so be it. His work on the Night Shift will not be interrupted. However, if this trend does continue, Management will consider more permanent schedule changes for N.Lo.

4. Congratulations to The Manager for addressing a significant portion of the DVR paperwork on her desk this weekend.

5. Our entire company (with the exception of The Canine Staff) will go on retreat later this work week. The CEO and Manager will head to the mountains with N.Lo in celebration of The Manager's 30th birthday, while K.Lo will visit the Regional Manager. We feel this much-needed break will benefit all members of The Lo. Co. staff.
