Spreadsheets this weekend - Grok via NASAWatch.com

Keith’s note: this went out to a vast portion of the NASA workforce today. I guess we know what people will be working on over the weekend – spreadsheets, not brackets. From what I am told by NASA sources anyone can see virtually anything they want – even if it is not their own stuff. No, I do not have – or ever want – access to this sort of proprietary/confidential stuff. Full memo below (spreadsheet and link do not work).

  1. Oh no. I haven’t checked my email since 2pm yesterday, but believe I might receive this. However, most my contracts, if not executed, could result in entire center shutdowns.
