JSC Today Headlines

1. Joint Leadership Team Web Poll

12. June is LGBT Pride Month

13. Weight Watchers at Work - Note Room Change

________________________________________

1. Joint Leadership Team Web Poll

Nearly 70 percent of respondents last week recognized "Deep Space" as the bogus Mission Directorate. Sounded pretty real though. You clearly believe that the head of BP is having the most difficult time with his public image by far. It may take a long while for that to be fixed.

This week the question is about the recent SpaceX launch. Did they perform better than you expected? Just like you expected? Did you follow the launch? Question two is about the start of the World Cup soccer tourney. If you could change one thing about the beautiful game, what would it be? I've given you five excellent choices to pick from.

Wayne your Rooney on over to get this week's poll.

12. June is LGBT Pride Month

Please note that in 2009 President Barack Obama designated June as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) Pride Month. This year the Office of Equal Opportunity & Diversity (OEOD) would like to recognize LGBT Pride Month. Starting this week our office will be displaying LGBT posters around the center on easel boards.

It is the hope of OEOD that the JSC community will work together to promote equal rights for all individuals.

For a complete list of the national special observances and their Presidential Proclamations, please visit our Web site at: http://www.nasa.gov/offices/oeod/special_programs/proclamations.html

13. Weight Watchers at Work - Note Room Change The first meeting of this session of Weight Watchers at Work (WW at W) will be Friday, Jun 11. Meeting begins at noon (weigh-in 11:30 a.m.).

We will meet in Conference Room 551, Building 45. (Not 751).

Did you know that 62 percent of the country is overweight/obese? The number of overweight/obese employees is on the rise at JSC too. If you're just 20 percent overweight your death rate is increased 20 percent. If you're 60 percent overweight the death rate jumps to 110 percent. Make the effort to change now. Do it for your health, do it for your kids, whatever reason - just do it!

Get your weight under control now with a sensible life style change. WW at W teaches you to eat the right foods in the appropriate amounts. Your co-workers are a great support system on this journey. And you can't beat the convenience of attending on site.

Good thing NASA is following their charter of exploring space. /sarc

NASA is now promoting sexual deviancy? If they aren’t into space exploration anymore, we need to just shut the whole thing down. Queer Pride should be the last thing on their minds.

Heh, just when you thought the only thing NASA was wasting billions of taxpayer dollars on was the “global warming” scam, you find out that’s only the beginning of the waste. Good grief, when will that disgusting agency get shut down for good?

That is pretty harsh. Just because NASA, like many govt agencies, gets used as a political tool by politicians, does not take away from the majority of highly professional folks who work there and their many technical achievements. There are many agencies that should be shut down, NASA is not one of those. It does need political backing in what it is actually chartered to do, as opposed to being hijacked by politicians to serve personal agendas.

It’s not exactly Star Trek. I hate to think of what Capt Kirk might end up kissing.

The number of overweight/obese employees is on the rise at JSC too

If they could cram more JSC employees on the ISS, couldn't they technically bring the overweight average down?

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Meanwhile under the covers, Obama figures out a way around Congress to cancel Constellation. Layoffs within the month. The good news is that all those engineers can volunteer to clean beaches. That will keep those critical skill sets on stand by.

It could be a subset of Star Trek. For more than you probably care to know about what fanfic writers have the good captain kissing, Google up "K and S" or "Kirk and Spock."
