 		Julie has updated the facebook page with this comment:

Quote:
He's not answering his cell phone, nor are his partners who are traveling with him. The hotel says they all checked out Monday night together. And when I went to my iPhoto to find a picture for you,I found out all my photos of him have been deleted! This is so weird, I only use that MacBook at home, and no one has access to it beside Keith and I and he has a firewall set up. Why would he delete all his pictures? I hope his business isn't in trouble with the law. Ena Xor, thank you for making me smile, even during the worry. I don't think it has anything to do with the zombies...no shredders at home or the office!


i've bolded out the things that seem strange.

1. the picture deletion: Keith has done this before, last time, he told Julie to remove all pictures of her from the facebook page, and now he deletes all pictures of himself too. It also seems that Julie herself is a bit camera shy from the examination update on the "office zombies" blog:

Quote:
On a related note, Mike's manager took our picture today and something very strange happened. Julie became quite agitated and was most insistent that the picture not include her face. This was not just being camera shy, but some actual fear I think.


2. i'm not entirely sure if that day they all checked out is significant or not, but i think it's pretty strange to just check out without contacting loved ones.

a new reference to a shredding site found in the comment from dr eggs on julies facebook site..:

https://www.facebook.com/ironmountain

looks like an OOG reference.. but you cannot be sure


An actual company, but really not so much out of game. According to DrEggs latest post, Iron Mountain is his new corporate sponsor.

In the above mentioned post, the good Doctor provides a link to a contest sponsored by Iron Mountain. Not sure if this whole thing (meaning Julie's Good Cheer Facebook) was just leading us to the promotion by Iron Mountain, or if there's more to it. From what I can tell in order to be eligible for the contest, you have to be older than 18, and represent a company that would purchase or select "Information Management" services.

 		A pretty nifty ad campaign by Iron Mountain and Dr Eggs.

If you enter thru the site from their Twitter:

Iron Mountain ‏@IronMountain
After a day at the office, do you crave brains instead of using them? Yup, you could be doing some #ZombieJobs. http://on.fb.me/UBVTte


company information is optional (although I'm sure they'd love to get some sales out of this) and you can enter with just name and email.

I'm thinking the Office Zombie part has ended, and Office of Good Cheer will continue. Did they just throw in together temporarily to give each other extra exposure?

I was just going by the official rules for the contest (the bold is mine)...

Quote:
ELIGIBILITY: open to legal residents of the 48 Contiguous United States who are 18 and older and represent companies involved in purchase and selection of information management services and to whom this offer is addressed.

 		I think booba might be right. It's not clear how this all fits in together. I've been following the Zombie side of it and it seems like that has reached a conclusion of sorts. Although, if it is all just an ad campaign, why does it look like Julie's story is continuing?

I entered the contest. I think the terms are pretty vague as I see them. What are information management services? Is that some industry term? I manage information on my phone and I select and purchase my phone. I think that counts. I'd be pretty ticked off if I won and they told me I was disqualified. Maybe I'm being too optimistic.

 		new update on facebook

Quote:
Omigosh, as if office zombies and missing boyfriends weren't enough to rattle my nerves, today the most bizarre thing happened at the office. Security caught someone in our mail room rifling through the mail. And when they searched him they found a letter addressed to me! Why would anyone steal my mail? Even more upsetting, the police found the guy's car parked on the street and he had a crossbow and lots of hunting knives. I've spent all morning at the police station being questioned, my hands are shaking so bad I can't bedazzle anything in a straight line. Luckily the detectives realized I didn't know him, and they let me go after they took my statement. I asked about the letter and they said I could come back tomorrow and pick it up but they have to hold it for forensics for now. They won't even tell me what's in it.

Has everyone seen the office zombie quiz over at Iron Mountain? They are such dears to help us spread the word about this menace. Make sure you sign up for the contest! All of you have been so good about helping us figure out what was going on with Mike and the shredder, I know you can consider yourselves Information Specialists. Smile Good luck to you all!

 		FB-update:

A rare Saturday update. Yesterday I spent most of the day at the local police station--my, could that place use some cheer. I didn't notice any signs of zombies starting, but then again there were no shredders anywhere. Surly, yes. Zombies, no. It took many hours and a few more interviews before they would give me my letter. Luckily one of the V.P.s at my office called to advocate on my behalf, I think that impressed them. So the letter. I'm positive it is from Keith, the address is in his handwriting and the postmark is from Seattle, where he was staying. Friends, here's the weird part--all the letter said was "Here's that picture you asked me for" with a little heart instead of a signature. No signature, no cheery message like he usually sends me. Not that he's in the habit of sending me postal mail when he travels, but even his emails are a bit more chatty. And there was no picture included. So I asked the officer, where's the picture my boyfriend sent me? And he looked all uncomfortable, and finally I got him to admit that they were still holding something that came with the letter. So many, um, polite conversations ensued, with more calls from my V.P., and finally after another hour they gave me a USB stick. I took it home immediately and stuck it in my MacBook and found...a picture of a wolf howling at the moon. As Micky said, WTF?


Why on Earth would the police care about a mail like that?

if i remember right, a couple of pages back, you guys were talking about how he might be a werewolf, and what she got from the police usb stick was this:

it might be the picture in the letter, but i also don't know why they would hold onto it or whatever the atachment was.

As requested. Now Micky is taking me someplace, she insists I get out of the apartment and away from the screen. I think she's right!

 		hidden files or stuff?
Hey I don't have a FB account but can someone should ask her to look for hidden files or stuff? Why would he send her a usb and not a photo if there isn't something hidden?

Still no word from Keith...wondering if I should cancel our party. It just doesn't seem right to celebrate without him, or when so many people are just struggling to survive right now. Sorry I am not more cheerful! I will work on adjusting my attitude post haste. Smile
