On his last day, we realized he was the current office Rock, Paper, Scissor Tournament Champ. Since we couldn’t simply let him walk away with the trophy, we held an impromptu tournament in the large conference room.
The many weeks of furious Rock, Paper, Scissor action led up to a massive showdown, yesterday morning. In our large conference room, right before the monthly meeting… four of our finalists met up to do battle.
Our second Rock, Paper, Scissor tournament continued this past week… with a few folks returning to the office, after being out for vacation. Kashif had a slew of games to play, and matched up with Alexandra right near my desk. It was a very surreal Western movie-style battle, as I think Alexandra spotted Kashif from across the office… and they…
This year’s RPS Tournament is underway, though the games have cooled off a bit to allow the bracket to catch up. We had a run of games last week, but due to a few folks being out of the office… some people are really far ahead, and a few others are waiting to play their first games. Rick and Tim,…
There’s a new RPS tournament going on! Thanks to AJ (our very first RPS Tournament Champion), we’ve got our second official RPS tournament underway. We started yesterday morning at 9AM, and it’s been a blast so far. Compared to last time (when we were working off a bracket print-out), games are happening pretty quickly. We’re using a site to handle…
Shortly before 11AM today, this graphic went out to everyone at work.

Many months ago, the process got started… then it dropped off. And very recently, we had a resurgence that saw everyone finishing out their battles to bring…
Ben, in his pursuit to become, like, the BEST_TROPHY_FINDER_EVER… has outdone himself. He’s starting up a Rock Paper Scissors tourney at the office, with a $2 entry fee. Winner gets $20, bragging rights, and… you guessed it: a nice, fancy trophy. We’ve had a good history of trophies at the company (The Lord and Master Stein™, The Pingmaster Trophy). And…
A long, long time ago (way back in 2004), we used to have this particularly boring task at the workplace. It was a menial task, an update that had no admins and required “manual” labor, as it were. In order to determine who got the crap job… we settled on a Rock, Paper, Scissors contest. As there were three of…
Ok.So every week, we get this email. The email consists of a series of articles (for a network-shared section called “Career Channel”), which then have to be manually dumped into our Content Management System. Nothing terribly difficult, but it’s a chore that needs to be done. The articles come in as text files, and we run a few patterns, clean…
