susandennisMicrosoft has been holding their company meetings in my neighborhood for years. When I worked there, they held them in the Kingdome. Since they blew it up, MS has moved on to Qwest Field, down the street. A hobby here in the 'hood, is to check after the meeting to see what the annual gift is.
Every year MS endows attendees with some kind of swag.
The year of the fleece blankets is legendary. Most of the attendees came out of the meeting with superman capes.
This year the gift is so far invisible. My neighbor, Ann, just came in to report 'they musta got nothin' this year'.
I can see them walking by on the Front Door TV Network but mostly I can only see from shoulders/waist down and they sure aren't carrying anything. Big signs at the Stadium gates said 'NO VIDEO, NO CAMERAS, NO LAPTOPS'. So they are truly a drift now acapella as it were.
Guess whatever they got fits into their pockets.
I do love this neighborhood.
