AM Fast Chat, Part II

[bealeblues]

this thread is getting way way long now... how about we start fresh with a new one??

and, on a sad note (well, that depends on your perspective), i will be only sporadically on the board for the next week-- i'm going to nekoland.... well now that i think about it, that might be good for the board, who knows....

see y'all soon....

[zenbabe]

dddtttttt.......to muucuchhh coffeeeeeeeeeee....

[Frieda]

:D being hyper is great.. i usually turn into cornholio after my 3rd cup.. :p

[bealeblues]

"i am cornholio... I need TP for my bunghole... Are you threatening me????"
sorry... beavis just cracks me up for some reason....

[Frieda]

yeah huhhhuh.. me too.. :D

http://62.163.104.8:8080/uploads/cornanim.gif

i love the episode where beavis has too much of that caffeine drink in the burger place, and that dude from immigration takes him away.. :D the episode's called Vaya Con Cornholio..

"bunghole! bungholio! ahahahahahahoooohhhhahhhhaaaah! espanol? habla bunghole! blablablabla! tp for my bunghole? ARE YOU THREATENING ME?

you can take me, but you cannot take my bunghole!
for there is but one bunghole, the almighty bunghole!"

[Frieda]

ahhh.. good old beavis and butthead.. how can you not like them?? makes me wanna change my sig :D

[zenbabe]

I used to like them, back when I was a pot head, I crack up more when I see actual people that look just like them...

[bealeblues]

they're a great escape when your life gets way to serious--- that and south park..... i mean, you can get too much philosophy in your diet

[NekoPunk]

i remember my parents used to not let me watch them. i did anyway, of course, and actually went to see the movie in 6th grade. ^__^

oh, and beale, i'm lovin' this "nekoland" thing... ^__^ that's hilarious... *lol*

[Frieda]

oh yeah.. the movie.. :) love the scene in the airplane.. when beavis eats the old lady's pills and turns into cornholio again and scares the pilots.. :D

[bealeblues]

neko, it's your world and we're all just paying rent....;)

[Deviate]

oh yeah, and Neko, that reminds me, i'm not going to be able to make my rent check this month. can you let it slide?

i used to dig B&B early on, along with Ren & Stimpy. my mother didn't like it when we watched them, but when she wasn't home my dad and i would run to the t.v. and see what perverted MTV show we could use to pollute our brains.

my father loved corrupting his child...

well, i'm going to get my grumpy mood outta here. i hope everyone has a good weekend. i, myself, will probably not see everyone until Monday, so don't burn me too bad while i'm out ;)

-st.

[Deviate]

figured i'd open this puppy back up again to give us a place to chat about nothing inparticular.

i'm off to lunch. seems like it's Subway today again for me, no time to go anywhere else.

-st.

[zenbabe]

I got up so early today that I actually made pancakes and sausage for breakfast, it is now sitting like a brick in my stomach, I think some of it is actually stuck in my trachea waiting in line to be digested......

[Deviate]

as a health nut, i came to work today and ate cake for breakfast.

now it's a quick Subway sandwich in front of the computer trying to match up crying pics.

-st.

[zenbabe]

I will tell which one I am, but you first! I think your the forhead with glasses though...am I right, am I right?

[Deviate]

damn girl, you're good! yes, all forehead and glasses. should be my new custom text; it's such a wonderful way for people to remember me.

-st.

[dickieC]

Hot damn!

Now *THAT'S* the one to flirt with!

[zenbabe]

Hey!! You blew my cover!!!

[Deviate]

zen has two up there if i'm not mistaken, one further down on the right.

-st.

[zenbabe]

yes indeed, I sent in two, I told ze to just pick one for me, but he put them both up, I swear I look just like a fish....ah well...1 in 70 chance is worth it..

[dickieC]

That's no fish, that's a babe!

:mental note to self... really must stop coming on to every woman I meet here:

[zenbabe]

lol, does fast chat turn into shameless flirting during the day?? I want to know which one is NYCwriters, I have an idea, but i want to know dammit!! Somebody tell me!!

[Deviate]

NYC i thought that was you! i love that one!

-st.

[zenbabe]

ah hahaha, I thought so too!! I think it's great!! That is what I looked like on Saturday morning!!

[dickieC]

Three to the left of the cartoon one?

Phew, need to head off for a cold shower now.

[Deviate]

very nice pics everyone.

and NYC, at least you don't have John Lithgow's forehead shining as a beacon for the zeFrank weary like me.

-st.

[Deviate]

end of the day and i haven't done anything. i think i almost completed one menial task. damn government paperwork.

and i don't want to stay late tonight. grump.

-st.

[zenbabe]

heh..I have been surfing the monster boards all day....*cough*

[Frieda]

yay! i finally got a job again! been at home for almost 3 months now.. doing nothing but browsing this board.. hmm.. forgot to ask if i can use the internet.. ;)

[Deviate]

i filled out some gov't paperwork (damn gov't) and made a list of what i should have been doing had i not been occupying myself with email and zeFrank. it's pretty long.

if only we got a live chat room. i would never need a social life outside of this little box. how wonderful!

you know, the sad thing is, in winter it seems more and more of an option. bring on the cold!

congrats on the job Frieda. doing what?

-slacking today.

[zenbabe]

ooooooooooooohhhh, how about a web cam chat room!!!!! It would be like having a party in your living room or office!!

:D

[Deviate]

okay. i might as well sign up for welfare now. who needs a job when you have a webcam party with the coolest people on the web. that'd be supersmooth. of course, i think it increases chatability when people don't have to look at me.

since i ditched AOL i haven't done the chat room thing. to be honest, every winter i start jonesing for it. massive cool.

-st.

[zenbabe]

I love chat rooms, it is an interesting concept, having friends all over the world, that you will probably never meet. At the same time, they provide you with hours and hours of endless entertainment...

[Frieda]

thanks deev! meet your computer helpdesk coordinator.. be afraid! be very afraid! :D

a chatroom would be really cool indeed.. has anyone ever had a reaction from Ze about this?

[zenbabe]

well, there is kind of a chat thingie on here, but its not in real time, and I dont think you can have more than a two person convo at a time....it would be fun though. Congrats on the job Frieda!!

[Deviate]

where's that, Zen?

-st.

[zenbabe]

I just sent you one.....click on the user cp tab at the top, then over on the right hand side at the top there is a tab to send private messages...

[Frieda]

thanks zen!

does any of you have yahoo messenger? we could start our own chatroom there!

[Deviate]

i'm downloading it now...

-st.

[zenbabe]

no, I only use the MSN and AOL IM's...

[Deviate]

well i downloaded it. pretty quick too.

i have AOL's at the house. i never use it, though. i'm on Yahoo's now as deviatedspectrum.

-st.

[Deviate]

well i'm outta here. see y'all tomorrow.

-st.

[AllegroNg]

All the cool people use AIM:D

It's a safe bet what my SN is..

I'm off to Pennsylvania for a couple of days. Happy Thanksgiving, you sexy people! Wear something special!

[Deviate]

morning all.

it snowed last night here. i hate it when it snows when i'm at work. the last thing i want to do is sit in an office all damn day.

hopefully some of it will be left by the time i head home for the night. i think i'm gonna get my hair cut at lunch. i'm thinking about just shaving it, but it's a little cold outside. hmm.

-st.

[zenbabe]

If you shave it, I insist you send in a new crying photo!

[Deviate]

it'll look relatively the same only with even MORE forehead ;)

of course, i could shave my head and dye it blue. kinda like a big Easter Egg.

edit: i went outside and it's too damn cold to nuke the hair. i'll have to wait until spring before that thought comes back.

so now i have NO clue how to get it cut. and i need to figure it out soon!

-st.

[zenbabe]

spike it!

[Deviate]

probably. this office life is getting me into a hair funk.

-st.

[Deviate]

it's done and it's square. the dull lighting is draining the life-force from me. kinda like those little things in Dark Crystal. my essence is being used by the company to power their evil reign.

-st.

[NekoPunk]

does that make you a muppet? ... hmmm....

i'm loathe to work in an office like that for those very reasons. my mom does, and i can't stand it. *shudder* i hope i never have to.

all else fails, you can get a tarp to keep over you when you walk around. y'know, so the light doesn't hit you. ^_^

[amanda]

Deviate, listen to the Neko- you gotta do something to keep your insanity.
I was there too, not so long ago- proofreading ads for the yellow pages. Cubicles. Staplers. Filing Cabnets. Dilbert on the walls. We even had the same fluorescent lites (I won't call them lights- they aren't worthy). Hated it.
Everyone would leave at 4:00- But I had to stay in my seat and answer the phone till 5. Bollocks. Right, I'll stay in my seat....

Wheel, wheel, wheel. "Hey Bob, wanna race?"
"Amanda, why are you wheeling around the office in your chair?"
"Because, they told me not to leave it."
"Oh. Yeah, sure!"

And that's how Friday Night Chair Races started.

Use their powers against them, Deviate. They may be bigger and meaner than you, but you can still fight against the Dark Side.

[masterofNone]

Here's my suggestion. Start posting signs from the midget. Signs like

NO SMOKING AREA
THE MGT
put that one in the smoking lounge.

or

PLEASE RETURN YOUR TRAYS
THE MGT
put that one in the snack room where there ARE no trays.

make the signs look official.
Then start complaining about the midget and how he's such a pain in the ass.

put signs in places where there's no need for signs. Like "wipe your feet - the mgt" next to the door mat, or "wash your hands - the mgt" next to the sink. After a while people will start to recognize that the mgt thinks they're stupid.

This is the first step in the MoN school of Workers Revolution.

[Deviate]

grrr. morning all.

i was here (at the office) until 7:30 last night and i needed to home by 5:30.

thanks for the support, all.

great ideas, MoN. a few problems, however:
-if i handwrite the signs it will be a dead giveaway since my handwriting is attrocious.
-if i produce any sign on the computer it will be a dead giveaway beacause no one in my company can do anything on a computer aside from entering data. they're morons.

at least i have my fancy schmancy computer here.

and trust me, amanda, i do what i can. how else do you explain my millions of posts during the work day? and, with all my toys adorning my desk i find ways to keep myself entertained.

-st.

[Deviate]

ahhhhhh!

only 44 minutes left to get enough work done so the world can survive until Monday.

that's why i hate short weeks. yeah, it's nice to get the time off, but i have to squeeze a whole week's worth of work in 2.5 days.

and i'm losing my mind!

-st.

[zenbabe]

have a drink on me, and fuggetaboutit!!

[zenbabe]

ah hahahaha! I *heart* karyoke!! What did you sing???? Last time that happened to me, I was in a redneck bar in northern Cali, everyone was singing country songs, then I got up and sang sheryl crow and no doubt songs....I almost got my ass kicked..

[zenbabe]

Happy turkey day NYC, I will have a glass of vino for you..gotta go cook and 18lb bird....

[Deviate]

i'm baaaaack

[bealeblues]

and i'm back as well, safe from tennessee.... *and i blew the horn at neko when i hit the I-24/I-59 split

[Deviate]

get this:

i get up to Minnesota and, Thanksgiving morning, i'm sicker than a dog. wonderful dry bitter MN air.

now i get to work through a sinus infection. if i'm not careful i'll end up with pneumonia again this year. pleh.

-st.

[NekoPunk]

blarg, that suxxors.... ehhhh....
i got a sinus infection year before last, followed directly by tonsilitis. ew. i hope you get better before you kill your assistant. ^__^

and thanks beale! *lol*

[Deviate]

i get sinus infections twice yearly. usually in October and February, but thanks to the unusually warm winter it's held off until now to kick in. i often get bronchitis from them, but last year was the first time i got walking pneumonia. ick.

i think i'm going to cry uncle and hit the doctor soon. hopefully.

-st.

[NekoPunk]

yeah... that's prolly a good idea....

[zenbabe]

man, i went to the store to get some sausage to make these sausage thingies and they were out! The store was out of sausage, and I had my heart set on the sausage thingies...

:(

[bealeblues]

oooohhh sausage! think i'll have a sausage po-boy at the LSU game tomorrow night! (for all of the stalkers out there, i'll be the one in the LSU fleece and the blonde hair-- just scream out beale and there'll i'll be)

and neko, you're welcome... i should've stopped in for a coffee, but that might've been too much reality for ya

[Deviate]

i'm leaving EAAAARRRLYYYY!

yea for sickness!

-st.

[NekoPunk]

ehhh... yeah, that would have been weird... but i coulda handled it. i'm pretty bored up here. ^_^ oh well. you were anxious to get OFF the mountain, i understand. ^__^

OH!

and i wanted to share with the board... and i didn't know where else to put it, so it goes here. Does anyone recall the former thread where i asked the boards opinion of what piercing to get next? no? oh well. i went ahead and got my orbital placements!! YAAAAAY!!!! i got another ring, too... but i dunno what to call it. it's pretty random. i'll post a pic as soon as i can, so stay tuned! *lol*

<edit >
not pretty, and not finished. but here is a pic of the placements. ^__^ the one on the side is... interesting. but that is another story to be told another time. ^_^

http://www.datazap.net/free/nekopunk/Picture 56.jpg

< re-edit > HOLY CRAP! i swear my skin doesn't look that bad in real life. ^_^;;;;

[Deviate]

nice piercings. i've got seven but haven't been wearing any but two lately.

i am still sick. got some sleep yesterday evening and a great meal, but i'm still sick. pleh.

i got stopped by a bicycle cop yesterday. my front plate was stolen some time ago and i just now got stopped for it. but hey, no ticket. woo hoo.

-st.

[bealeblues]

did the bike cop have flashing lights attached to his hat and did he scream out a siren?

[NekoPunk]

cops on bikes make me laugh. they should make you laugh, too.

[Deviate]

i dig cops on bikes. they seem to be nicer than other cops. must be all that fresh air and inability to stash a case of donuts on the seat.

no, B, i was stopped at a light and he politely tapped on my window. i expected it when he stopped behind my car. guess who forgot to renew their license plates?

sure is quiet today. i keep getting worried that the zeFrank board is just a phase and that quickly the regulars will die out until there is no one left to distract me from my job. then i'd be forced to do work....

ahhhhhh!

-st.

[bealeblues]

oh, i don't think that this is just a phase-- it's more like heroin-- the more you post, the more you keep checking back to see the reactions to your posts, and then the more you post to react to the reactions, and so on and so on.... there will never be another honest day's work again.....

[Deviate]

well, i've been working like crazy all day. i've been fixing problems that have been sitting on my desk for weeks.

i'm scared. if i start to perform people will start giving me more work and then i'll get more swamped and i'll be exposed for the fraud i am.

anyone been to mp3dancer.com (http://www.mp3dancer.com)? check it out. you can download this little hippy chick that dances on your taskbar when music is played. you can also download silhouettes of other dancers, all for free. dig it.

-st.

[NekoPunk]

i'm here... i just haven't had time. w/ thanksgiving... i don't stay on the computer at my house. i've got people to see and whatnot ^_^ but, when i'm at college... i'm always here. there's nothing to do. meh... i've got a report to do. i'll be back. ^__^

[Red Princess]

Dev, any way to blame someone else for the work the is getting done? "Hey, I didn't do that! I don't even know how to do that!"

[Deviate]

hey, good idea Princess.

they'll figure it out, though.

i realized today why i never like to do work when i'm in the office. everything is so f***ed up and i spend my day in tension land. woo. my vendor reps are giving me the runaround and i can't get anything done.

i hope everyone else is having a great day at the job/home/school. oh, i can't wait to get my masters...

-st.

[dinzdale]

and that would change things, how exactly?

Life is like a shit sandwich - the more bread you want, the more shit you have to eat.

The higher up the tree you go - the more people are staring at your ass. (? ! ? !)
....not quite right that one, but close........

[amanda]

dinzdale! where've you been keeping yourself, mate? I always thought the saying was, "If you want the top bunk, you'd better not fart during the night."

yep, yep on the heroin addiction reference there, beale...I'm not looking forward to my internet bill this month. I'm sure it'll be just as expensive. Maybe I can write it off as "research of Native English conversation".

[NekoPunk]

mmm... free ethernet.... *grins* college gets one point for free things!

[saskuoch]

Do you guys get free cable? I live on campus just for the free cable, although I think my dorm actually steals the premium channels. And the free pizza and other snacks that you get for going to club meetings. We sometimes even get free food at the end of the semester just for remaining alive, no strings attached.

Although, I guess we do sort of pay for it.

[NekoPunk]

yeah, for what they charge, we ~should~ get freaking free everything. ^_^ but, we do get free cable, internet, shirts, food, "beverages", etc.... you know what i'm talking about... ^_~

[Deviate]

i'm so tired today. i heavily debated coming into work. but here i am.

i'm downing a Starbucks doubleshot and it's made my hands all shaky (i don't usually do caffiene). i'm worried i'm going to fall asleep during work today; i have meetings all day long off and on.

oops, phone. it's my mom.

-st.

[dinzdale]

Tell her I'll be round later..........


'Manda, thanks for missing me. I was in jolly Blighty for 10 days giving my liver a workout.

Life is like a pubic hair on the toilet seat.....sooner or later you get pissed off.

[amanda]

hahahaa! Yuck!! :p

[dinzdale]

Not as good as your philosophy A., but thanks.

I cant believe DV8....how do you even consider starting a day out without firing up the big caffeine and big nicotine?
I havnt faced a day without a kick-start since 1982 or thereabouts. It clears the alcohol from last night, sensitizes the nerves, fine tunes the brain, and brings on the dawning of enlightenment......and helps you face the morons of the day.

[Deviate]

well, my theory is this: if the promise of a new day isn't enough to get me up in the morning then i should just stay in bed. hopefully my life is good enough that i want to jump out of bed each morning and get to it. i hate the idea of needing to injest certain substances in order to be happy.

unfortunately, lately, my mornings have not been enough promise to get me out of bed. thus i have turned over to jitters in a can. only for today, though. i can't stand the thought of being addicted to anything, much less caffiene.

-st.

[dinzdale]

Best of luck......maybe you pinched all my kharma, 'cos there isnt too much to get up for all by itself...

.............unless you own the Swedish Bikini Team....and a brewery.......and have nice hair.......and lots of money and stuff........

[Deviate]

oh yeah, did i mention i own the Swedish Bikini Team?
and a brewery?

oh, and i have real swell hair and i'm billions rich.

but, oy vey, mornings are hell.

;)

-st.

[amanda]

well, there goes the rest of our chances on the board...
:hands the keys to dv8:

;)

[dinzdale]

See what I mean......and HIS mornings are hell ?????

Come down here with the great unwashed and see if you can get up "unassisted"........

[Deviate]

lol.

i don't mingle with the untouchables... ;)

okay, the saga continues. my assistant came back from lunch and she REEKS. she is ripe with the stench of cigarettes, BO and what a collegue has identified as 'coochie'. and she didn't smell when she left for lunch.

the scary thing is - my nose is stuffed from the sinus infection and i still can't stand the smell.

oh god i wish i was making this stuff up.

why, why, why did the coin LIE???

-st.

[Red Princess]

Dev, PURGE THE DEMON, or politly tell her that she stinks in every way

[dinzdale]

Give me her number man.
You lucky dog, you have an assistant that's up for a "nooner" !!
You're grumpy 'cos she's getting a "lunchtime special" and you're worrying about work and stuff.
I love her and want to practice making babies with her.

[bealeblues]

i agree with R.P.--- you must call in the short woman from poltergeist (or the priest from the exorcist) and have your area ridden from the funk demon assistant.... no one needs to be exposed to BO/coochie, especially during the holidays.....

and dinz just cracks me up!

[Red Princess]

Dinz, i bet you are a hoot at parties! Love that sense of humor, oh, were you serious?

[Deviate]

well, here's my deal. i think i need to at least wait until the end of the week. then i'm going to give her one more week to find a job. i want to give her adequate time to realize how much she sucks.

maybe i'm being too nice, but, hell, she's gonna cry. and i can't stand making chicks cry.

-st.

oh, and i bought some deodorizer and scented candles on lunch... hopefully that will at least defunkify the air bubble surrounding my desk.

[Deviate]

oh, and Dinz, she's yours. she's already got two, why not make more?

for some reason 40 yo anorexic crack whore with too much eye makeup doesn't do it for me. and if she did have a nooner i don't want to know about it. the last thing i need to think about is her in the back of a cube truck banging my techs.

of course, knowing how much some of the technicians smell, i wouldn't doubt some of it would rub off....

-st.

[dinzdale]

Sex in the City seems tame compared to your Empire, Deev.

Please keep me posted of her exploits.....


ps. if she gets down on her knees to beg for her job.....you know what I would do, dont you son.....

[Deviate]

wow, there sure are a lot of Guests on today. must be a field trip.

(waving) HI GUESTS!

(in scary Children of the Corn voice) Become one of us!

-st.

[Red Princess]

Come into the dark, it's really safe and warm in here isn't it? Please make your little selves comfortable and tell Dinzdale of your exciting exploits, he enjoys those stories so..

[dinzdale]

Guests ?
I hope it's not any of my ex-wives.......

Anyway, I know DV8 is having grief, but I know he'll see the bright side. Just when it gets all serious and heavy, something we say on here will make him smile.

I wish this crap open prison I work in was half as lively.

What's your place of work like RP? Anything going on to make us chortle with mirth?

[bealeblues]

HI GUESTS.... your resistence is futile.... as we've demonstrated, this board is like heroin, so just get it over with and register....

[Red Princess]

I have my own little business here, I could not learn how to play nice with others so I work with computers all day and if they piss me off I yank parts out of them.

[masterofNone]

I like to think of us as rats on crack.

[Zyle]

the heroin analogy is SO accurate!

[amanda]

Oh goodness! I know I shouldn't eat while reading these boards. 'Cause one of these days I'm going to choke on my breakfast, laughing.

I prefer the previous analogy of a fishbowl myself there, mushie.

:Waving to guests: Hi! Sometimes I dance naked! (I won't tell them that it's only when there's no one else on the board)

Oop. Did I say that in my "outside voice"?

[Red Princess]

Hello Guests! Have some pie, never mind those little dark things moving around, it's just the sprinkles

[NekoPunk]

wow... ya'll sure do have purty mouths.... ^____^

[dinzdale]

Gotham City
Another day dawns and brings with it........absolutely nothing.

Where is everyone?
...and where's our update on DV*'s glamorous assistant?

Until someone else comes on I'm going to have to do some work......Oh the humanity ! ! ! !

[Deviate]

I'M HERE DINZ!

i took the morning off. i just got in 20 minutes ago.

my assistant hasn't done anything out of the ordinary, yet. of course ordinary for her is pretty crack-whacked.

she's like a born-again Christian crossed with a Quentin Tarantino film. scary.

how's everyone else doing today? i'm feeling better, unfortunately. i keep hoping i'll get mega sick so i can stay home for a day or two.

-st.

[dinzdale]

You must take the camera in to work to thrill us lesser mortals.

What's today got in store?
I just realised it's my brother's birthday.....so he get's sod all present from me again...tchuh!

God it's boring today.....I think a liquid lunch is on the cards.
Anyone for a pint?

[Deviate]

i would love one, Dinz. i was going to have some with lunch but it seems i'm stuck in the office today. you know, late morning and all... i could really go for a scotch ale.

as long as i can secure her replacement, the crack whore will be gone by the end of next week. just before Christmas. i'm such a Scrooge.

-st.

[Deviate]

well her replacement works here, i just have to make sure she can pull herself away from her current position in time.

i'm smack-dab in the middle of the country.

-st.

[dinzdale]

Morning, Deev......
how's your assistant babe today?
Need my caffeine, nicotine, and babe update before I do anything around here.

[Deviate]

she's being fired today. we'll give her a week to cushion the blow.

she's excited because she just learned how to open more than one window at a time. she said, 'Woo Hoo! My friend always used to talk about this!' grr.

-st.

[dinzdale]

I love a woman with smarts. ! !

I think she should stay on.......how about a poll on the board?

[Red Princess]

No demons! besides, she smells bad, phew, who wants to put up with that?

[Deviate]

Please visit Crack-Wacked Assistant (http://zefrank.com/bulletin/showthread.php?s=&postid=7254#post7254) to vote.

-st.

[dinzdale]

Dev, my son, thank you for polling your peers on the fate of your darling assistant.
"You said......."
"Our survey said...........X.. "AAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH""

[Deviate]

oy what a day. how is everyone else out there? got plans for the weekend?

-st.

[Red Princess]

looking for a way to relieve some serious stress, may involve large amounts of beer, maybe some...

[amanda]

Go Christmas shopping in Tokyo. Go play in some fake snow.

[Deviate]

i am so grumpy - i do not want to be here today. i know i'm going to end up pissing a few people off, what with my massive attitude and all...

-st.

[dickieC]

Cheer up, might never happen, worse things happen at sea and all that. You never know, something really wonderful might be about to happen, and you'd be too grumpy to notice. Not good.

[Deviate]

thanks DC. actually, i'm beginning to cheer up after realizing that it's almost 11: and have done about 15 minutes of work all morning. woo hoo!

-st.

[bealeblues]

yeah, i'm a little grumpy too--- i had trial this morning, got caught behind the entire rule docket (2 hours), had my officer subpoenaed (he wasn't happy), the other atty didn't show up (grounds for dismissal) and b/c the judge knew him, she granted a continuance (typical, typical).... oh well, that's LA for you

[Deviate]

woooooo -

ghost town today. i just thought my email was down....

[bealeblues]

it has been a little quiet today-- perhaps we are all being decent people giving our employers a full day's work

yeah right.... must be some other reason

[dinzdale]

I was on here alone and I got scared........

[Deviate]

yeah, well i'm being forced to do just that. my immediate boss is an a**hole and, because he took two days off last week, all the higher-ups are jumping down his throat about all the crap he didn't do. so instead of doing the work he gives it all to me and says it all has to be done by the end of the day - an impossible task. then he goes off gallivanting for 2 hours + and i don't even get to take a lunch.

plus, since one of the owners didn't see it fit for my Crack-Whore assistant to come in for her last week i'm stuck doing her job as well. and, since my assistant was a Crack-Whore, i spent the entire morning fixing her mistakes.

So, to recap:
fix assistant's mistakes
do assistant's job
do my job
do boss' job

all in one day. f*ckers.

i saw you sitting in here Dinz, realized we were the only two and decided i needed to post something.

-st.

p.s. my boss just dropped another project in my lap. f*cker.

[dinzdale]

I know what you're going through man.
I went off on vacation for 10 days.....did anybody do a f**kin' thing while I was out, did they ARSE.
If I only had my own shite to look after i could leave a t noon every day.

...anyway, I'm off to a meeting that no-one else can be bothered to go to, so I'll be back later to give you a hand with that stuff. 'Kay?

[bealeblues]

i think monday night alcohol is in order for you DV8

p.s.-- remind me if I am ever looking for a new job not to apply with your company-- wait, unless I can be a supervisor-- they're golden

[Deviate]

thanks Dinz. i'm with ya.

BB, would love to drink, but i'd rather go kickboxing and get some of my aggressions out in punches.

oh, and this guy's title is Director of Operations, one of the highest positions in the company without being an owner. the guy before him worked as hard as anyone if not harder. this guy does less than anyone, including the receptionist.

good thing for all the zeFrankenfurter delayed chat. it's the only thing that keeps me going when i'm here.... pleh.

-st.

[bealeblues]

it is a good thing that this is delayed-reaction chat b/c, like we've all said before, if we could all chat on this board in real time, no one would ever work

hell, we might even start a commune somewhere in the hills and wind up on CNN or something

[Deviate]

BB, that's sounding better and better all the time. course, i dig the commune thing. we could all make poetry under the stars.

i'm still tripped up that Ze is pronounced Zay. good thing i can at least type it out, no embarrasing trip-ups that way. of course, at our monkey-reunion i'll have to write it on my hand and casually glance at it in conversation.

-st.

[Eiggam]

Deviate-
I totally hear you about the Ze-Zay thing... I totally freaked out. Who would have ever thought!

[bealeblues]

oh yeah, nyc, you're all over the exclusive, provided of course that, once you win the pulitzer over the scoop, you quit your job and become our resident documentarian for prosperity's sake

that's what we should do--- figure out everyone's role in the commune--- i suppose that i'll be the waif-child that's being brainwashed since i am, after all, the 13 year old girl of the commune

[bealeblues]

you know, i am blonde after all, but i can't even imagine being in nyc during the whole sept 11 thing, especially if you had to actually cover it.... i bet it was, all at once, both traumatic and thrilling..... my hat's off to you and i don't know how you dealt with that, being there in the fray and all

[dinzdale]

Make it the next Bi-weekly theme project.
Put everyone's memories in one place.

Ze?

[bealeblues]

that's a good idea dinz --- where you were/what you did/how you coped re 9/11 in the bi-weekly project

[Deviate]

well, i ended up not going kickboxing last night. grr. i could have really used that. unfortuneately by the time i got home and ate it was way too late for it. oh well.

so i drank instead. thanks BB. um, i slammed a vodka gimlet, a concoction of SoCo, cranberry, and lime, a couple of glasses of port, and a very strong vodka and cran. it was enough to fall asleep to.

but, here i am, protesting against actual work...

-st.

[Deviate]

morning all!

-st.

[RuneT]

Good morning DV8. Do you have trouble sleeping? Its afternoon here, and i have 43 minutes left to work. I just handed in a nice report that will make me look like I have been working very hard this week. They don't really need to know that i only used 4 hours on it, do they? ops! i'm rambling.

[Deviate]

well, i kinda do, Rune. i learned how to curb my insomnia many years ago, so as long as i trick myself into following the routine i'm fine. if i stray i'm screwed.

so most of the time i run like crazy all day and am so tired that when i turn on the t.v. i collapse and pass out. if i "try" to go to sleep, like, go to my bed and turn off the lights and lie down i'll be up all night. it sucks, 'cause i never read anymore because of it.

good for you on that report. keep the bosses in the dark.

-st.

[red]

It's raining cats and dogs here. I am verrry lazy because of it.
I am still tweaking my resume, but my heart isn't in it today. My old office is having their Holiday Party today. I'm sure it will be a festive affair after a lay-off.
I guess I hang around the boards today until yoga time.

[zenbabe]

morning sunshines, 10am here, bah, 7 more hours to go...its freezing in this room as always, I am going to go hang out in the sunshine to warm up in a bit....looks like a software bomb went off in here, good thing they got the IT bitch to clean it all up...

[red]

Good Morning Zenbabe! Thank you very much for the webster's link. Very handy, I don't know why I didn't think of it, DUH.
It is STILL pissing rain here! I'm expecting to see my *oop* there goes my neighbor's newspaper floating down the street. It's good for the trees, right?
Hmm…I'm hungry. Guess I'll have to go to the store. bah.

[zenbabe]

i just macked down a huge breakfast burrito, the rain is much better for the trees than that burrito is for my thighs! It is actually really nice and sunny out today on my end. I wish it would rain, we really need it, it helps me sleep. I just hate driving in it, people freak out here when it rains...or even drizzles for that matter...there is always like 100 crashes or something crazy....

[red]

I'm with Zen on the freezing. That's way I like to live waaay down below the snow belt where it rains all the time.

[zenbabe]

who you calling wimp tough guy? Let's take it outside! Wait..let me get my jacket first.....

[zenbabe]

HAHAHAHHAHA!!! That is awsome!! Is he cute? Those UPS guys always have the best legs and arms!!!!

[zenbabe]

you could always pull the cameron diaz move from Charlies Angels and yell out "um, you know, I signed that realease thing, so feel free to just put things in my slot..."

[zenbabe]

btw...Is anyone actually working today?

[bealeblues]

i drew 3-D geometry all day

and quite poorly, i might add

[zenbabe]

i'm putting together some boxes right now......

[Deviate]

i went to work but i didn't work when i was there... sneaky.

-st.

[zenbabe]

yeah, I can't say I have been very productive today either...

[zenbabe]

me want to go home and drink wine and get ready for fab Christmas gala!

[Deviate]

hello? (hello, lo)

echo (echo, echo)

pinch hitting for Pedro Garbon, Manny Mota (Mota, ota).

-st.

[dinzdale]

Always knew you killed kittens frequently........it's all in the wrist action.......maybe Beale helps you.

[bealeblues]

i chase kittens, kittens chase me, i'm just all over the place....

[zenbabe]

This just in...dude, they broke into regular cable programming to talk about the friggen storm....STORM WATCH!!! It rained for like an hour man......


:o

[bealeblues]

hmmm... nyc saying stupid media.... don't know if i ever expected to hear (read) that one

oh wait, that's visual media.... i suppose she can bash them without alienating her own

[Deviate]

PANTS PANTS PANTS PANTS!

-st.

[dinzdale]

Maybe,........ if some company called "Miller" actually started to produce what could be called "beer" instead of the usual yellow fizzy water.

Maybe you could also ask "Miller" why nobody even 20 lbs overweight, or handicapped, or over 30, or with less than perfect teeth appears in a single commercial for their products? .....where quite obviously using their product would soon enable you to join all of the above...strange.

[amanda]

No, no dinz. You've got it slightly wrong.

It's how the WORLD looks when you use their product. Not how YOU look. You still look like the same poor slob who drinks Miller.

Well, not YOU personally dinz...at least I very sincerely hope not. Otherwise I'll have to go to Houston and have a mighty long discussion with you and your mother.

[dinzdale]

Thankfully my mother is 6,000 miles away and consequently cannot see how drunk I am going to be tonight.......I will leave the light on for you...'Night x

[amanda]

And she's probably thankful for the same reason. She better not be drinking Miller either.

Thanks babe, but I should be able to find my way around the dark by now...

[zenbabe]

that reminds me..I need to pay my electric bill...:eek:

[agentsmith]

cornholio? where? DAMN! im always late for the fun things...

[Deviate]

with any luck, if you stick around there should be a fun thing coming to the station shortly....

-st.

[agentsmith]

i am so bored........:eek: i have no choice but to play tekken 4 and eat frozen beef taquitos....then i think i'll take all the spoons out of the drawer and dirty them so they have to all be washed again and my sister will have to eat ice cream with a fork, and then i think i'll use up all the forks, knives and other utensils untill people get mad at me, and then i'll use up all the cups and bowls, leaving only the plates because i know for a fact we are having soup for dinner.

[Deviate]

are you cooking the taquitos?

-st.

[agentsmith]

there were none left in the freezer so i settled for mushroom turnovers...all i had to do was heat em for 12 minutes and then i ate the whole box. the soup plan worked!

[Deviate]

mushroom turnovers? pleh! vile fungus!

i'll stick to the good, wholesome things nature intended us to turn over: apples, cream cheese, peaches, brown sugar, marshmallows.

-st.

[Frieda]

ack. just finished 2 hours of memorizing beavis & butthead episodes to annoy people in my office. i already sent a wav file to my office email with "the most annoying sound of the world" according to Dumb & Dumber. should be fun tomorrow. hah!

[agentsmith]

hmmmmm...troubling
here are my favorite foods....
cheap fried fish, caviar, biscuits, cornbread, sushi, beef bulgogi(korean dish), shrimp cocktail, and kahlua! oh yes, and i love hot chocolate with a handful of marshmellows and baileys.

[Deviate]

you got me on the fried fish, cornbread, sushi, shrimp cocktail, kahlua and baileys.

i like homemade kahlua more than the store bought stuff.

-st.

[zenbabe]

Cheese

[agentsmith]

hell yeah! i love triple cream brie with kalamata olives in it...its yummy!:p
