Description
People often stop me in the streets to ask "Hey Tina, what's life "really" like at Microsoft? Sometimes I can't even walk outside my house without somebody standing there with a giant neon sign that blinks "What is life "really" like at Microsoft"? Instead of answering every individual separately and so you can save your money on those neon signs. I decided to create a video that would answer that simple yet complex question. I want to throw out a special high-five to the following because without them and a lot of beer this video never would have happened.
Duncan Mackenzie, Erik Porter, Mike Sampson, Scott Davis, Grant BlahaErath, Dan Fernandez, Max Zuckerman, Adam Kinney, The Dalai Lama and Britney Spears

Matthew Mushall Hilarious and brilliant! I particularly enjoyed Al at security, the keyboarding face-off with Duncan, and Xbox tech support with Adam. Naturally, however, the best part of the video is you.
Two things I'd like to nit pick for no good reason:Isn't it about time you got a new publicity photo...the old G4 airbrush doesn't do you justice.What would you do with the whole solar system? It's just a lot of empty space. -

AdamKinney Congrats to Tina on the writing and Finley on the editing! Certainly made us look like something worth watching
Nice job to all of the actors as well especially the three Nerf hitmen.

Duncanma @Musicgrinder ... I would have thought you'd like us making fun of ourselves... (and I'm replying to your post in Firefox, for what it's worth)

Rory Blyth I don't miss working for Microsoft. I don't miss Seattle, Redmond, Bellevue, the surrounding areas, the crappy restaurants in the surrounding areas, the traffic, the cold Seattle attitude, the money, the company credit card (OK - I kind of miss that), and I may find the Windows Live Writer installation process to be intolerable, but I really do miss the few of you I liked who worked in offices along several hallways on one side of one floor of one building where there was a little pocket of goodness among the big, scary Microsoft chaos.
I don't know what I would have done without you people.
Worked, probably.
Tina Whatever-your-last-name-really-is - you're a frikkin' genius.

Duncanma @Rory Blyth ... yay! Rory watched our video!
Interestingly enough, during the filming of this piece I distinctly remember the quote "Where's Rory when we need him!" Your witty banter would have added much to the experience. Even if you were just sitting in the lounge mocking us as we did the approximately 12 takes it took to get the "I'll google it" scene done!

nic Whoa, whoa, whoa,.. Scripts? Takes? Writing? Editing? Are you saying,.. that this was,... was,.. STAGED!???
zOMFG!!!
Also I'd like to see a continuation - "The Adventures of Zuck: the Duffel Bag"

"Interestingly enough, during the filming of this piece I distinctly remember the quote 'Where's Rory when we need him!' Your witty banter would have added much to the experience."It's interesting that you say that - I don't think there's much I could've added, and I thought as much while watching the video. It's hard to watch something your old team did without wondering what it would have been like had you taken part in it, and my wondering went nowhere. Everything about the video is superb. No Rory needed.Honestly, the thing made me a tad jealousI wish I could write like that ."Even if you were just sitting in the lounge mocking us as we did the approximately 12 takes it took to get the 'I'll google it' scene done!"The "I'll google it" bit may have been my favorite part. I watched it a few times over.Adam's expression as he turns to look back is perfect, as is the slow-mo effect.I could go on, but my (really heavy duty) sleep meds are kicking in.I'll end by saying that I'm impressed as all get-out. -

Ian Muir Very good, almost as good as Bill's last day at work.
I'm a little dissappionted though, I thought Adam really was a Jedi.

russnem I love where your heads were at with this video. I've worked there and had some of the best and happiest times in my career.
However...Your opening statement about Microsoft..."The most brilliant, talented company in the world."That was the funniest part of the whole thing!!!!!! -

LarryLarsen Actually, it seemed a little watered down from the truth. Usually when Duncan does a code-off he dips the backs of his hands in hot glue and broken glass. -

snort Well, at least you got eight decent posts before it turned into another rediculous open source vs. the Evil Empire discussion. I guess some people just didn't get breast fed. If the open source community would just take over the world already and get over themselves maybe we could move on with life.
I thought the video was funny, regardless of my affiliations.

Gilberto Lopez Very nice Video, is really refreshing that someone can have a laugh at himself. But I would like to see you participate more Tina. Surely you could do it on a second part.
PS: I want one of those G4 autographs =)
