The Green Onion

Maggie’s Person of the Hour

Maggie, the office Labrador, only hangs out with the cream of the crop...who made her top spot this time?

Mark Tabert has a reputation for being the grumpy SOB of the office (yup,

that’s pretty much dead on). And he’s ok with that: less people bother him that way. We’re pretty sure he was separated at birth from J.N. (photo supplied for

verification, DNA test still pending). Mark has a impulse to shoot anything that moves, just look at the décor of this office. If it’s brown (or green, gray, purple

or pink) it’s down. On any given Friday you can find most of the office and field staff gathered around his desk to gain wisdom and some good one-liners from

the great Tabes. But don’t get him going on world issues, he’ll tell you how to solve them all, especially if IPA is involved. PS-Ask him how much he loves

Subway and Heraldo’s may be off the list! They do have a 2 taco special; he’s had it before. Go ahead...ask him...

As many of you know, JCG’s master plan of General Contractor Supremacy continues to

follow schedule, as is evident by the recent inva-sion of the field next door, successful colonization

of Miles City and remarkable spike in personnel. With so many buildings to build, dirt to dig and

papers to shuffle, a little irritability is only natural. Studies have shown the best way to bolster mo-

rale in an office with more testosterone than estrogen, diverse taste in football teams, and

quite a few LEED doctorates, is a little good-natured competition. With this in mind, Jackson

Contractor Group is pleased to announce the 2013

Mid-to-Late Fall and Early Winter Construction

Olympics.

The 2013 Olympics will include the clas-sic chainsaw juggle, coffee chugging competition,

as well as the gravel-pit wrestling, always a spec-tator’s favorite. As usual, we can expect a close

battle between Nick Van Tighem and Heather Carter for first place in the Most Popular Inbox

competition. Hattie Redmon is expected to contin-ue her winning streak as Most Soothing Phone

Voice. This year three new, exciting events have been added: Improv Capitalization, freestyle

spelling and timed acronym interpretation. Sub-missions will be accepted in the form of Change

Orders, Purchase Orders, Contracts, RFIs and

email correspondence.

Be sure to check the upcoming issue of

JCG Hooked for results and photos. JCG does not endorse nor disapprove of bets, wagers or beers

placed on any JCG-sponsored Olympic games.

With school back in full swing, here are some safety tips for this time of year...

Stranger Danger—don’t talk to strangers, especially the ones with candy

Make sure your child knows important phone numbers, their address and how to call 911 for an emer-gency

Does your child have a walking buddy to school?

When visiting your child’s school, make sure to check in with the office so they know you’re there

Random Conundrum...ANSWERED!

You are in a room that is an 8x8x8 perfect cube. There are no windows, or doors (don't ask me

how you got in there!) In the center of the floor there is a 12 inch pipe that is sticking 6 inches out

of the floor. In the bottom of the pipe is a ping

pong ball with a diameter that is one millimeter smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe. You

have a 12 inch piece of string, a match, a magnify-ing glass, a 6" ruler and a paper clip. How do you

get the ping pong ball out of the hole?

Answer: Pee in the hole
