Don’t you love the Swedish Intranet search engine? You type in something like “Newborn Glucose Protocol” and get postpartum committee meeting minutes from 1996. I don’t think it could be less helpful or intuitive if it tried. Because of this, there are many interesting pages that are rarely explored because no one knows where to find them.

One night at work I was digging through the intranet when taking my break and I came across the benefits page under Human Resources. I didn’t find what I was looking for (of course) but I did come across some offers that were available for Swedish Employees. One was a full bells-and-whistles deluxe version of Microsoft Office 2010 for $10. $10! I couldn’t believe it. But I followed the directions and got it for myself. I figured if this is an offer for all Swedish employees then someone needs to write step by step instructions on how to do it. So, here they are.

First, start on the Swedish Main Page.

That is it! Take that, Groupon!
As a small FYI: I did meet one of the higher ups in IT and she did say that we were getting a whole new Intranet and search engine next year! If the site changes I will change my screenshots as needed.
