<P class=ArticleBody _extended="true" page="1">A new-hire hazing ritual and 
other employee pranks at Microsoft's Redmond campus may live on, thanks to some 
good-humored building planners at the company.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.infoworld.com/archives/emailPrint.jsp?R=printThis&A=/article/07/05/16/microsoft-campus-mystery_1.html">
<P class=ArticleBody _extended="true" page="1">The jokes revolve around the 
mysterious building seven. The Seattle area has 116 Microsoft buildings and the 
buildings on the Redmond campus are numbered sequentially except for the number 
seven. There isn't one.</p> <P class=ArticleBody _extended="true" page="1">The missing building is fodder 
for various commonly executed employee pranks (or at least regularly 
boasted-about jokes).</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.infoworld.com/archives/emailPrint.jsp?R=printThis&A=/article/07/05/16/microsoft-campus-mystery_1.html">
<P class=ArticleBody _extended="true" page="1">Perhaps the best known is when 
Microsoft managers send new hires to meetings in building number seven, so that 
they can snicker while the new kid on the block scrambles to find the building. 
Or another good one entails making an anonymous call to the new hire late in the 
day and telling them to report to building seven within 20 minutes to pick up a 
security badge.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DBE37EAB-8F7C-449D-911D-28E5A48C4D78/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
