All were like me, some things they liked and others they didn\u2019t like at Microsoft \u2026 BEFORE they joined the company. Not long after joining, they flew to the mother ship in Redmond for \u201ctraining\u201d or \u201cmeetings\u201d and returned very different people. Everything was awesome; even the dodgiest endeavours by Microsoft were the best things ever.<\/p>\n<p><font color=\"#ff5a00\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"float: none; margin-left: auto; display: block; margin-right: auto\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.scratch.mit.edu\/static\/site\/projects\/thumbnails\/1819\/5514.png\" \/><\/font><\/p>\n<p>I and others would joke about our friends having their firmware updated. That was a joke \u2026 until now. I have the evidence that something mysterious is indeed happening. I was behind the curtains yesterday, and went to get a Coke from the fridge when I spotted this:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMAG0318.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"IMAG0318\" style=\"border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; float: none; padding-top: 0px; padding-left: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left: 0px; display: block; padding-right: 0px; margin-right: auto\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMAG0318\" src=\"https:\/\/aidanfinn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/IMAG0318_thumb.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"529\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sparking water made by \u2026 Microsoft! Of course, I will be taking this evidence to a lab to be analysed and searched for traces of psychotropic substances. I suspect this may indeed be the actual firmware upgrade that is supplied to unwitting new blue badges when they are transported to Redmond, WA. I shall follow up as soon as the results are in from the lab.<\/p>\n<p><em>Note: This article is written with my tongue firmly in my cheek.
