HOT TALENT

Why is it the Holidays are always "upon us"?

Doesn't that sound a little combative for a season supposedly marked by peace and joy?

Perhaps it has something to do with all those plans we're trying to accomplish before the Holidays descend upon us like a Mongolian horde.

Like getting a Corporate Communications Manager before Thanksgiving (oops). Or finding a Designer to fill in while everyone else in the department is in Aruba (that's tomorrow).

Which is exactly why you should give us a call to wipe those items right off your To Do list in a jiffy.

Then you can get on to more important Holiday tasks, like figuring out how to get an eggnog stain off a silk blouse.

Follow the links for profiles, samples, and resumes.

Enjoy!

THAT BIT AT THE END
"St. Peter Bounces Back!"


Thank you for your email, I'm sorry I missed you!

I will be out of the office until January 2, 2008 and will have limited access to voice mail and e-mail until that date.

All Afterlife Orientations will be initiated on my return. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience.

** PLEASE NOTE: All calls and e-mails to our office regarding new Afterlife Orientation Dates will not receive a response! **

If you are checking your e-mail from one of the six terminals connected to the Afterlife Internet in the Pearly Gates Waiting Area, I wanted to let you know we have a 15-minute time limit for using computers. Please mind your time, as others may be waiting in line. Courtesy is always first in my book. I realize these are neither the newest nor the fastest computers around, but they were all we could muster from IT. Please don't whine, as this just seems to bring everyone down.

PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO READ THE FOLLOWING IF YOU ARE IN THE PEARLY GATES WAITING AREA.

Our internal e-mail system only works within the Afterlife Internet Directory (i.e., st_peter@afterlife.hev). Messages sent to outside e-mail addresses (relatives and friends at gmail, yahoo, etc.) will not be delivered and will merely slow the server down. **

Make yourself at home during your short stay in the Pearly Gates Waiting Area.

Please do not become alarmed concerning the absence of restrooms (or WCs if you will) or drinking faucets in the facility: I assure you that you won't need either in the afterlife. To occupy yourself during your wait you will find "gently used" People, Rugged Backpacker, and Country Cook'n magazines on the end tables. You are also welcome to visit with your neighbor.

Please do not adjust the channel or volume on the television.

The candy machine is still not functioning properly; do not try to use it. A technician has been scheduled next month to put it back into working order.

Should you need to contact someone concerning your demise or related need, please keep the following numbers/e-mail addresses handy:

* For Administrative or Operational services contact L. Burbank (lburbank@afterlife.hev) 030-11-452-9999

* For Plant Operations, Warehouse, or Transportation ask for N. Bonaparte (nbonaparte@afterlife.hev) 030-11-435-9998

* 401(k) Rollover Information contact G. Orwell (gorwell@afterlife.hev) 030-11-435-9991

* For Sales, Marketing, or Merchandising contact A. Rand (arand@afterlife.hev) 030-11-435-9992

* Hair and Nail Appointments ask for K. Hepburn (khepburn@afterlife.hev) 030-11-435-9993

* Candy Machine refunds contact S. Clemens (mtwain@afterlife.hev) 030-11-435-9996


Do not stand directly in the lighted doorway. New Inductees will be entering through it at a steady stream. As they've just left their Earthly existence by walking into the light, please don't make them regret it by immediately tripping over you during your smoke break.

** Be aware we do not sell Raffle Tickets or Amway in the Afterlife. Should someone in the Waiting Area approach you with either, please contact St. Michael immediately using the Red Courtesy Phone. **

------------------------------------------

If you are responding to an e-mail received at your home or office regarding your Afterlife Orientation, but you have not yet passed away, please accept our apologies (and condolences).

Our office is still in the process of migrating its services online and our temperamental server may have sent you before your time.

Please go about your holidays as if you didn't know. We will be in touch with you at a future date; you need not contact my office regarding your new Orientation date.

------------------------------------------

Thank you for your continued patience,

St. Peter
Associate Director, Welcoming Services
1 Pearly Gate Way
