Directory

On September 25, 2008, pinehearstresearch.com was updated. Hovering over the bottom right section on the Careers page reveals a DNA helix symbol. This link leads to a login page. Typing the number 19225688423 leads to a file directory. (The number 19225688423 was given out in a Pinehearst Company brochure at the 2008 Comic-Con in San Diego.) The directory contains several folders:

• 877_309_PINE
  • IVR
    • 001.B.wav
    • 002.B.wav
    • 003.B.wav
    • 004.B.wav
    • 005.B.wav
• Vmail_Archives
• Documents
• Exchange Archives
  • Exec_team.doc

The five .wav files in the IVR folder are interactive voice response files one hears when calling the phone number 1-877-309-PINE. The exec_team.doc file says:

To: Exec team
From: JEFF "jeffery.perkins"
Date: 8/1/1997
Subject: NSA-43 Presentation
Status: Urgent

Team:

I wanted you all to know how proud and grateful I am for the tremendous efforts you put into our recent presentation to the NSA Procurement group. We have a superior technology and an implementation force second to none--but getting our message of excellence across effectively is what sales is all about. It starts with a great pitch--and I know how hard all of you worked on this one. I'm happy to report our efforts appear to have really paid off.

I just got off the phone with Deb Bohrman, # 2 for NSA systems procurement. She told me she is going to "strongly recommend" that NSA include a full commitment for 500 BioTrak BioEmitters in their "black budget" request for calendar 1998!

This is a tremendous step forward for us as a company. With globalization, the NSA is more important than ever and we are on track to grow with them every step of the way. We’ll continue to work hard to fulfill every one of their deployment, tracking, and biotechnology needs.

Please come down to my office at 4PM this afternoon for a toast and celebration.

Great job!

Jeff
