Supervillain Attacks Six Flags New England


Agawam, MA--One can only imagine the suprise on the faces of those who work at Six Flags New England as they arrived at work on Monday morning, only to realize that the park had been locked beneath a thick layer of snow and ice by a supervillain known as "Mr. Freeze," who, according to sources, reportedly escaped from the Arkham Asylum sometime last week.  When asked about their feelings on the attack, employees reported feeling "shocked," "unnerved," and, "really, really cold."  


Other employees expressed something akin to disappointment.  Said one manager, "This isn't the first time that we've been attacked by a supervillain.  Actually, we're dealing with a situation with Lex Luthor at the moment in our DC area.  At least Lex has the decency to be cunning and evil.  Mr. Freeze is, well, just kind of annoying.  I mean, I hate scraping ice off my car, and earlier today I slipped on the way to my office and spilled my coffee.  My coffee!"

Another employee expressed her annoyance with Mr. Freeze's methods, saying, "It's pretty irritating having to bundle up like the little kid from A Christmas Story every time I have to go outside, you know, just in case that stupid Freeze jumps out from behind a tree with his freeze gun or something.  It's uncomfortable and time consuming.  Thank God his gloves are too bulky for him to operate doorknobs, or he might get into the offices and I might never get to take this coat off!"

Scenes of frigid villainy abound at the Agawam, MA-based Six Flags park.  TOP: The clock near Shipwreck Falls.  BOTTOM: Main Street is a sheet of ice after Mr. Freeze's rampage through the park

Local authorities have, so far, been unable to apprehend the fugitive supervillian.  However, they ask that, if anyone has any information as to his whereabouts, they contact the administrator of this blog at sfneops@gmail.com, since, quite frankly, they've got more important things to do besides worry about some guy with the equivalent of a cold water gun.

Winter Carnival!

First of all, I'd like to say that it was great to see everyone that came to the Winter Carnival on Tuesday night!  If you weren't there, you missed out on a good time.  There were games, food, raffle prizes, and, most importantly, serenades from some of your fellow Operations folks as they strutted their stuff with the American Idol Karaoke game on the Wii.  
Maggie and Todd wow the crowd with their rendition of "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls. 


Debbie concentrates on defeating the Wizard and his dastardly wire...


Kyle was an impressve 2 for 46 at the Ring Toss.


Hammer Time!


If you didn't get a chance to make it to the Winter Carnival, don't fret!  You'll still have an opportunity to catch up with everyone at the Rehire Job Fair.  They are on:

Friday, January 23  1:00pm-7:00pm
Saturday, January 24  10:00am-3:00pm

Come early and get all of your paperwork out of the way!

Happy New Year!


Good evening, everyone!  I just wanted to write a note wishing everyone a happy new year.  I hope everyone's holiday season was safe, fun, and at least somewhat relaxing.

Speaking of relaxing, my vacation is just about over, so you can expect a full update in the coming days.  

Here's to a great 2009!
