Company Holiday Announcement

Movie & Holiday Announcement
(In the manner of Lemony Snicket: A Series of Unfortunate Events)

I'm afraid this message could have terrible consequences. You may want to sit down while reading it. Oh, you already are. Comfortable? That's nice. You might not be for long.

Something truly unfortunate is going to happen on Tuesday Dec 14 at 7 pm. I'm talking about the pre-release screening of A Series of Unfortunate Events at the Redmond Town Center Cineplex for Amaze employees. Ghastly to contemplate, isn't it? I'm afraid it only gets worse. You can bring your family as well. How awful for them. While I feel terrible about this, I am compelled to subject you to yet another indignity: You must RSVP by the end of today, Dec. 10.

Now, a musical interlude:

Twas 12/17, and all through our den
Not a creature was stirring... at least not before 10.
The lights were all strung 'round the front desk with care
Lest a UPS guy they mistakenly ensnare.

Wasn’t that frightful? Alas, there is more fright yet to come. There will be a holiday gathering here at the office on Dec. 17 starting at 11:30 am. It will consist of an informational company meeting downstairs followed by lunch, which could be poisoned by some deranged caterer, and the pool tournament finals, which will likely be spoiled by cheaters. Unscheduled tragedies may occur as well. Don’t they always?

To alleviate all this gloom, Amaze Entertainment will be closed for the last week of the year, Dec. 27-31. Enjoy the holiday!
