2503.0. "Just `Askin" by WMOIS::STYVES_A () Fri May 21 1993 13:25

    
    I'd like to ask a few questions for no reason in particular but
    just `askin.  Now, suppose someone was told that their group was
    being transferred from, oh let's say Westminster, and they were
    going to, I don't know maybe Andover, if they had any questions
    about this Andover place like maybe (1) Is there a full service
    cafeteria out there (2) Does the DCU provide full time on site
    services (3) How many people is the building capable of supporting
    (4) Is it true that all roads leading into Andover were designed
    only for people with suicidal inclinations (5) Just where the 
    heck is Andover (6) Is this another one of those little tiny places
    where you could throw a spitball from one end to the other, and so
    on and so on.
    
    Again, not asking for any reason in particular "JUST `ASKIN"

I have it on reliable authority that you can't get there from here anyway
so what difference does it make?

    To answer some of the questions asked in the base note:
    
    Question 	# 1 Yes
    	        # 2 Yes
    		# 3 ??? I don't exactly know. Around 1100 to 1200 folks.
    		# 4 We are accessible from Rt 93. about two exits south
    		    of Rt 495/Rt 93 interchange.
    
    		I'd say it is a medium sized facility. Unless you've got a 
    		great arm, I doubt if you could throw anything from one end
    		to the other.

  In case anyone hasn't figured this out yet, DAS on Dascomb Rd. is now the
only DEC plant in Andover, so that is the one we are talking about.
  Is .0 hypothetical, or is a group really moving from WMO to DAS? If so, this
is indeed a major change. Westminster is rurul and Andover is, for all prac-
tical purposes, urban.
  Twice in the last 12 years, I have been informed that my group was moving to
a new site. Both times, I didn't wait for managment to tell me the details.
I took a trip on my own time and checked out the area thoroughly. Both times,
we had several meetings in which people told us things like whether the site
has a full-service caf. But that was 4-12 years ago; don't count on management
being well organized enough now to supply all the info you need.

    re -.1
    
      Hypothetical ???  Well the moving trucks haven't arrived to move them
    in yet....And Hypothetically a part of DAS may be moving to NIO BUT
    again no moving vans as of yet.  I guess it's a wait and see type of
    deal.  I am currently employed at the DAS facility and am one of the
    possible movees to NIO.  As reply .1 said we do have a full-service 
    cafe and DCU on site. 
    
      The only thing constant is change.  And the only thing you can really
    be sure of is death and taxes, I guess.
