For specific locations of the displaced departments, see this week’s issue of U*Direct. Some employees have been asking about whether or not the ice machines in our employee lounge will be available upon our return downtown. The answer is yes. Also, the maintenance department has assured us that the ice will be fresh. Even though temperatures are only supposed to be in the upper 70s next week, we’ll continue to allow employees in Norway the option to wear dress shorts Monday through Friday, as it still gets a little hot in the building.
