Morning!
It’s Kris from the Xoom meeting earlier today. I wanted to email you since I noticed that our project next month schedules us together. I was curious about how you wanted to go about things since you’re fairly new to the team. You can contact me over my number that should be listed below or over this email if you’re not feeling up to texting.
Until next time,
Kris Sutton

Hello, Kris.
I am fine with doing things your way as you have been here longer than I have. Where can I
find the schedule? Also, I would prefer that you use my full name.

Alrighty, sounds good. You can find the schedule posted in the Loaf #marketing channel in the thread under Pelmini’s name. By the way, do you wanna be added to the marketing
employee groupchat? If not, that’s fine.
Sorry, Tommiford,

Hey, Tommiford,
You saw it too, right? It doesn’t really suit his face. I didn’t even think he could grow a
moustache! Do you think we’re allowed to comment on it? I looked over and Peter from
sales looked like he was praying to Jesus.
The boss makes a dollar, I make a dime...

Hello, Kris.
I will be honest, I did strike him as more of a beard man. I was not expecting a moustache
that inexplicably resembles a mohawk. Maybe it’s an early April Fool’s joke with him as the
fool? Tell Peter that he can mind his business; this is marketing gossip.

Missing Item Report
Date Lost:
January 23rd
Name:
Kripstofere Sutton

Description:
A very nice purple ballpoint ink pen that cost me about $15 and was a gift from a friend. It
writes smoothly, the ink is vibrant, it doesn’t leak at all whenever I write with it, and it has a very comfortable grip (you know the kinds of pens where you could write for hours with them and not cramp up? It was one of those. No callouses either).

Have you seen my pen? It’s the one I showed you last night. I think I lost it around the 22nd, right before Friday, but I can’t remember if I brought it home or not.
SOS!!!

I haven’t seen your pen. Are you sure you hadn’t lost it before Thursday? You hardly had
time to write anything on Friday, so even if it was lost on the 22, you wouldn’t realise it. I
think the last time I saw you writing with it was that day as well.
​
I doubt that you brought it home. Didn’t you stop after you got Juno because her feathers
were becoming stained with purple ink?
You’ll find it soon,

Third floor, break room three
Please describe the incident in detail:
I was falsely accused of stealing a coworker’s pen just because I was using a pen that may
have bore some resemblance to the one that was lost. When I attempted to de-escalate the
situation, I was called a number of unsavoury names that I would rather not repeat. It’s not even the same coloured ink, for God’s sake! I saw Sutton writing with that pen, and it is a much more vibrant purple. On that note, I would like to propose a Colourblindness
Awareness Day where employees are required to take a colourblind test.

That great British bastard did it, I know it! And during our Glaucoma Awareness Week, no less. I know what my pen looks like, and I know that it was sitting on Tommi’s desk right on top of late paperwork. Words were had, I admit, but the denial of clear evidence was just driving me up the walls crazy! I don’t care about my lunches that I know have been going. missing (though I have a sneaking suspicion that I know who did it based off of this incident), I just want my pen back. It means a lot to me.

Kris, can we just talk about this? Ignoring me is immature. I didn’t steal your pen. I don’t
even know why it means so much to you. I can give you the money to replace it, but I don’t like it when people accuse me of things I didn’t do.
Please text me back,
Tommi

Location:
Meeting room 351
What was/were the employee/s just before the incident occurred?
They were presenting their joint marketing project on using social media to promote Venav’s services.
Describe the incident:
In the middle of their presentation, Tommiford had pulled out a notebook and pen in order to take note of an outdated graph that had recently been updated by one of our Marketing Specialists (John Harry Smith with short blond hair and green eyes, not blue). After this happened, Kripstofere (for a lack of a better word) burst into tears and began yelling incoherently at Tommiford, who then did an admittedly very good impression of a brick wall.
I believe that John Harry Smith (with short blonde hair and blue eyes), John A. Smith, and
John Smith walked out of the room at this point, though it may have been a little later.
Admittedly, I wasn’t paying much attention. When I looked back, Tommiford had stormed off and Kristofere had followed. I was not in the right frame of mind to go after them.
Were there any injuries or illnesses?
___ Yes _X_ No

Nothing, unless you count hurt feelings.

Hello to the marketing team,
Due to a certain incident that recently occurred during company time, we have decided that there will be no more colored pens in the office. From now on, you are strictly to write with black or blue ballpoint ink pens.
Please keep all personal issues out of the office. If there is a problem, I must remind you all
to handle it in your free time.
Thanks,
Karen Dongle
