The workers at EatonGolden breathed a collective sigh of relief as the repairman walked through the office with his box of tools and headed toward the arcade in the Safari conference room, aka “The Fun House.”
For months workers had been trudging through the workday without the promise of Space Invaders in the next room.
“Not having the sounds of buzzing, dings, slaps, woo-woo-woos, and loud laughing was really affecting my concentration. Now that they’re back, I can finally get some work done,” said one writer at EatonGolden.
Workers have asked for assurances from the management that a similar malfunction of the games won’t happen in the future.

Have you heard of OpenTable.com? I’m hooked. This FREE online restaurant reservation tool takes the guesswork away from getting a table. Simply enter your location, type of cuisine, and your desired reservation time. In a jiffy a list is revealed with Restaurant Name, Neighborhood, Cuisine, Price, and Available Times. Find one you like and your reservation is a few short steps away. (And of course, they have an iPhone app.) On a number of occasions I’ve found myself making reservations on my way to the restaurant. I’ve even been able to make a reservation while waiting in the lobby on one occasion! I use the site regularly around home, but it is even more handy while out and about.
From the restaurant’s perspective, the site is even better. Although I’ve never seen the restaurant side of the tool, I’ve been told by friends in the business that it is fantastic. The establishment pays a subscription fee and is provided with everything they need (computers, software, hardware, etc.) allowing them to keep track of their guests specific preferences, whether the guest is a regular, times for each reservation, cancelled reservations, no-shows, and more.
A relatively small number of restaurants (173 in the Minneapolis area) are currently available through OpenTable, which is the biggest drawback at the moment. I’m sure as more and more restaurants and diners discover the benefits the numbers will increase.
