Neville Harris Resigns

From our glorious leader:

Attention all staff and operatives.

Earlier today Mr. Neville Harris, head of Neurocam International’s Administration Division, tendered his resignation due to personal reasons. This resignation will be effective as of close of business today (Friday, April 28, 2005).

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Harris for his 6 years of loyal service to Neurocam International and I hereby wish Mr. Harris all the best with his future endeavors.

Due to Mr. Harris resignation, however, the position of Administrator has been deemed redundant and a new position has been created to address many of the issues previously dealt with by Mr. Harris.

Mr. Miles Carrefour has been awarded the position of “Induction Officer” within the Human Resources Security Division and will now handle many of the tasks previously assigned to Mr. Harris.

Mr. Harris’ e-mail address will remain active for fourteen days and all correspondence from it will be forward directly to Mr. Miles Carrefour (miles.carrefour@neurocam.com). After this two week period, Mr. Harris’ email account will be deleted from our system.

Regards,

Bridget Fischer
Chief Executive Officer
Neurocam International

It seems likely that this resignation was precipitated by Harris's accidental circulation to all operatives and staff earlier today of a mail intended only for Neurocam management.

Visit My Other Blog, Fucktards

Sorry.

I just really wanted to use the word "fucktards".

That is all.

Cardoza To Visit Auckland; 'Cam Community Baffled

It's old news now but still worth a post: Avery "The New Number 2" Cardoza (no, I don't know either) is intent on following the Neurotrail all the way to New Zealand. And "points thereafter".

Good luck, Avery. Whatever the hell you're doing.

Assignment NTC-5555/01

Received today. Who else?

Miles Carrefour

They just keep on coming - Simon Blackmoore reports yet another new Neurocam rep: Miles Carrefour, Induction Officer, Human Resources Security Division. Apparently handling new applications.

Google doesn't know anything about him, but I'm sure I've heard this name before somewhere.

Erratum

Fischer's assistant is Madeline Khan, not Kahn.

(Almost) Everybody Hates Gertrude Zelle

Known blogging operatives who have reported receiving bitchy email responses from Gertrude Zelle: Another Operative; Elmo; Gigabane; tobyesterhase; Roger That and Exodus (although he was probably asking for it).

Reanimator reports contact with another previously unknown Neurocam staffer - Bridget Fischer's assistant, Madeline Kahn (presumably not this Madeline Kahn, who is dead).

Toasts, Assing, Etc

Toasts to Maxwell:


Lady J toasting me toasting Li toasting Midnight toasting Constance, Avery & Lady J toasting Maxwell.


Gigabane toasting Cheshire Cat toasting Tobyesterhase toasting me toasting Li toasting Midnight toasting Constance, Avery & Lady J toasting Maxwell

In late February there were some murmurings about schisms & double-crossage in the upper Neuroranks from Jojo & Tript, amongst other sources. In serialising the background to his recent dismissal, Avery seems to be throwing more light on these rumours, and it's shaping up as quite the expose.

Bridge & Charlie- who'd a thunk it?

And we have another neweuroblogger: Simon Blackmoore.

Two New Operative Blogs & Gertie Zelle

Two new operative blogs: American Guy of Melbourne and Gigabane of Newfoundland, Canada.

New acting Human Resources Security head Gertrude Zelle is not winning too many friends amongst the rank & file. Although it seems she has an unlikely fan in the Maxwell-besotted Constance.

Cardoza Axed

Respected NYC operative Avery Cardoza has been unceremoniously dumped. Avery - who'll hopefully continue to blog in some form - has now provided a bit of eyebrow-raising background to his Neurodismissal.

Seems Cardoza Investigations was assisting former Human Resources Security head Maxwell Knight with some kind of internal sleuthing exercise. Avery quotes a mail to him from Maxwell dated April 16th:

Regarding the fruits of my investigation, I will contact you with the results following my meeting with senior management of Monday April 18, 2005. I do, however, have high hopes of unmasking the Judas who lurks within our midst.

It was presumably at this meeting that Maxwell 'resigned'.

Hmmmmmm...

UPDATE: Conchis is back online, admitting that his blogjacking by Circle De Luce was a hoax designed to test the integrity of the Cam's Jack Sampson. He offers some possible insight into Maxgate.

Gertrude Zelle Is The New Maxwell Knight

Another new addition to the official Neuroranks: Gertrude Zelle.

Attention all staff and operatives.

Earlier today Mr. Maxwell Knight, head of Neurocam’s Human Resources Security Division, tendered his resignation due to personal reasons. This resignation will be effective as of close of business today (Monday, April 18 2005).

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Knight for his 17 years of loyal service to Neurocam International. His presence in the office has always been a reassuring factor for me and he has brought a highly appreciated debonair flair to the office environment. His contribution to the day-to-day operations of the organization was immense and he will be sorely missed.

I hereby wish Mr. Knight all the best with his future endeavors.

Until such time as the position is advertised internally, Ms. Gertrude Zelle, former assistant to Mr. Knight, will fill the position of Head of the Human Resources Security Division. Please direct any Human Resources Security queries directly to Ms. Zelle at (gertrude.zelle@neurocam.com).

Mr. Knight’s e-mail address will remain active for fourteen days and all correspondence from it will be forward directly to Ms. Zelle. After this two week period, Mr. Knight’s e-mail account will be deleted from our system.

Regards,

Bridget Fischer
Chief Executive Officer

Conchis Sabotaged (Again)

Dan Pritchard's blog has ostensibly been 0wn3d by the Circle De Luce. Cheshire Cat has more.

Jack Samson & Otti Votavova

Constance has been corresponding with two official Neurocam people who aren't Hastings, Fischer, Knight or Harris: "Otti Votavova", via the operations address generally used by Charles, and "Jack Sampson", via Maxwell's address.

Jack Sampson was the primary Neurocam contact of somewhat suspect London operative Conchis aka Dan Pritchard.

Pritchard has contacted her about this.

Ask Not What Neurocam Can Do For You...

The official Neurocam application has changed - now aspiring operatives have to submit "between 250 and 300 words on what [they] have to offer Neurocam".

Neuroblog Roundup

If Xade's to be believed, Quilly and Operative Ice (whose blogs have both gone down) are one and the same - and they've been given the Neuro-axe.

Tobyesterhase continues to put the tough questions to Maxwell Knight.

And it turns out his fellow Buffalo, NY operative Bob the Mediocre has a blog after all.

Operative Reanimator & NYC Group Assignment

Operative Reanimator of the l337 chess sk11z has a a blog. With pictures.

And Constance has (some) news of the group assignment in New York City tomorrow.

Assignment NTC-5781/01 Postmortemage

Jojo's posted the assignment and an account, Tript has a nice photo of himself along with a few well-chosen words, and Wednesday night attendee (and new blogger) Melbourne Wintermute (as distinct from German Wintermute) has posted his report.

I went on Tuesday. I beat Li, got thrashed like everyone else by Operative Reanimator, and got half a game in with Jojo before 10pm rolled around. I chatted to Tript about John Wayne Gacy's horrible painting, and had encounters with a few other ops as well. It was simultaneously more convivial than the Bolte assignment, and also more intense. I liked it.

Assignment NTC-6421/02 Regretfully Declined

Well, I submitted my report on Assignment NTC-5781/01 this morning and have already received another, Assignment NTC-6421/02. Unfortunately I've had to knock it back for won't-be-in-town-this-weekend reasons.

You're Funny, Neurocam

In both senses. Thank you for a weird but enchanting evening.

I still don't understand, but I think I love you.

Anyone game for some kind of extracamricular get together at some point? Tahiti at the end of the year seems too far away.

Assignment NTC-5781/01

Charlie loves me after all.

Charles -

Am I correct in assuming that, despite advising of my availability on the 5th and 6th of April as requested, I have not been chosen to participate in the associated assignment, as advertised at http://ex0.blogspot.com/2005/03/did-you-get-yours.html?

Dear Operative Teigan

Our records show that you have indeed been selected for this assignment. Perhaps it was filtered by your email package? Can you please confirm receipt of this email.

Here it is again:

Hmph

Got this? Yes.
Get this? No.

Consarn it.

Some cynics have suggested the post's got something to do with today's date, but pay no mind - they're just jealous they didn't think of uncover it first.
