Yeah - you read it correctly.

Our very own Mike Sampson, known around here as "Sampy", got shot in the face today by Jesse Lewin of 10 fame.

You might be asking yourself: Why?

The answer is simple: Watch the video.

As you know, Channel 9 is all about transparency, and this is a special look inside a couple of Microsoft's odder teams.

If nothing else, you'll at least learn why I love working on Channel 9. Jeff has been the perfect manager - he pretty much just sets us free and trusts us to do our work.

Most of the time, it's perfect.

Today, it got one of our employees shot in the face.

It was fun Smiley

But you fell for the old HR trick, where they make you think you can only attack your own instead of them...[6]

aim stupidly high, expect to fail often.
Good thing I wasn't in the office today, otherwise they'd all be staring at me (more than usual).

Genius. Who came up with the idea to shoot Sampy in the face though? I imagine it was one of those conversations:

Sampy: I have a motorcycle helmet.
Jesse:   Do those work?
Sampy: I don't know, I've never had to test it.
Jesse:   I bet you'd feel it if I shot you or something.
Sampy: What with? A gun, yeah I'd probably feel that.
Jesse:   How about my nerf gun? You might feel that.
Rory:    What are you guys talking about?
Sampy: Jesse wants to shoot me in the face with a nerf gun.
Rory:    Awesome! Let's make a video of it.

Just Coding for Fun...

Massif, that sounds close... except it was Sampy's gun and Jesse's helmet... which makes you wonder why Sampy didn't shoot Jesse... maybe we'll do that tomorrow.
