[Clonedsheep]

Clipped my fingernails, Took out my little trash, Played "attack the ants on my desk with whiteout", checked email, read some news, read some posts and looked busy. It's gonna be a long day

[Clonedsheep]

Sorry about me being on topic. Good job on the raise.

[ChadTower]

I think the point was, when your annual raise is measured in coins, you aren't in the right line of work.

[Stingray]

oh yea I also had to stop by the jail house to get finger printed for my new job.....

did you know finger prints are done electronically now  I didn't even get my hands dirty........

[mrhowell]

Reloaded GX260 w Win XP and imaged 5 others (through a 10mb, took an hour), installed 5 or 6 usb wireless adapters.  Explained for the millionth time why I have to put service pack 2 on your xp machine and explained it will run like crap.   Removed pen cap from floppy drive. Took 3 calls from my boss on the Accelerated Reader problem at Midway.  On another note, if you have kids in K-12, beat the crap out of them if they steal the balls out of the mice.

[Bones]

Checked email. Busted for excessive personal browsing.
Deleted BYOAC icon from my desktop.
Worked ---my bottom--- to the bone.

[ChadTower]

That guy is just begging, pleading, screaming please, file a civil suit for sexual harrassment.

[Sephroth57]

id do her =P

[Bones]

id do her =P

Yeah, cool jugs.

[Zakk]

That guy is just begging, pleading, screaming please, file a civil suit for sexual harrassment.

oooh I was just waiting for your post!

[Stingray]

She hinted that she has some pics from her modelling potfolio that I could scan, that she said "the geeks might reallylike"

Speaking as one of the geeks, I say ignore Chad and start scanning!

-S

[ChadTower]

Sigh.  All it takes is one thing to tick her off and someone to suggest "you know, you could get thousands from this guy without ever going to court".  It doesn't matter whether or not she likes it now.  I've seen it happen too many times.  The second that suit is filed, you're already out thousands in defense attorney fees, and if it goes to court, she sits on the stand and cries and you lose.  It happened to a good friend of mine.  Chick was all into him, they got all flirty, it went to stuff like this... then she decides she wants something else, turns on him, sues his pants off, destroys his reputation, and he loses a business he worked 15 years to build.

No trim is worth all that.

[Zakk]

I let her read your post, she says "thanks for the good idea" 

:double sigh:


(I'll see if I can still afford dial-up after the lawsuit!) 

[Stingray]

As long as you're getting sued anyway, you might as well scan those pictures.

-S

[Zakk]

-S

Heh, turns out she tried out to be a model when she got out of high school.

[ChadTower]

I had a gf that was a sought after model when I was younger.

Women with a unique look, like being half Native American, are not discriminated against, they get the quick road to work... if they are attractive enough.

You'd be surprised how many women are constantly told they are attractive enough but when the rubber hits the road (squip) they just aren't.

[Stingray]

If the pic you posted of her is representative of how she actually looks, I'd say the reason she didn't get any work is because the guy doing the hiring was a moron.

-S

[Jabba]

As long as you're getting sued anyway, you might as well scan those pictures.

bump.

[ChadTower]

Today I was officially given credit for running tommy off the boards... while at work.

[Sephroth57]

As long as you're getting sued anyway, you might as well scan those pictures.

-S

bump.

scan!! 

[ChadTower]

I don't see nuthin wroooooooooong
with a little bump and scannnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

[Sephroth57]

yeah so i did nothing again today, w00t


so heres my plan for the next 2 years, im looking forward to it

I work the rest of my time here (8 - 12 months about) until my boss moves to florida, going to school in the meantime, in the summer i plan on at least 2 classes also.

next year he moves, i collect unemployment due to losing my job beyond my circumstances (boss moving), i looked it up and its almost guarenteed i will qualify i dont see why not. I collect that for a year, which is the maximum time, meanwhile still going to school. this is all legal as long as im not going fulltime, meaning i will take 3 classes a semester instead of 4, and catch up with summer classes. also i can work with my friend working on cars part time off the books for extra cash.

by the end of unemployment i will almost have a 2 year degree, might have it complete. and will either A. find another fulltime job and continue part time college. or B. go fulltime college, find a part time job


i cant wait to get unemployment lol

[Stingray]

I've actually gotten quite a bit done today. I have a little project that I have to get finished before January. I did about half of it in the last hour. Better slow down or I'll work myself out of a job.

-S

[ChadTower]

You do realize that the Unemployment office can stop paying if you are unable to prove you are actively seeking work...?

[Stingray]

I've never collected unemployment (I'm sure most of you guys are suprised at that), but I thought all you had to do was apply to a few places every week.

-S

[ChadTower]

Nope, if they want, they can make you provide a form that would be filled out by a hiring manager with which you interviewed.

If that manager doesn't make it look credible, and they may contact the manager so you can't fake it (it's a felony anyway), you can be cut off.

[DrewKaree]

I'm just upset that she's leaving at the end of the month, she is the very best secretary that a person could ask for and I really think she should make the right decision and stay on.

(am I being subtle enough H?) 

Speaking only for myself, Zakk, if she's leaving your employment to go elsewhere, she's a little touched in the head.  You're the nicest Canadian real-estate baron I know, and not only would she be a fool to leave you, she'll never find a better boss.

Heather, thank you for leaving him, and I look forward to working with you shortly   I'll be more prompt in scanning your portfolio pics in to further your modeling career, making our employment relationship a win/win proposition for you.  I hope to see you soon, and I believe our uniform here will look better on you than any other employee.  For the rest of the geeks here, I've posted a picture of what your new uniform will look like below.  Zakk, best wishes, and I'll let you visit her whenever you like

[Zakk]

I am a nice Canadian.  We all are.  We NEVER EVER sue each other, right?

She ain't givin up the potfolio.  Oh sure I begged and plied her with gin, she's having nunovit.  She said she'll put it up on Ebay and we can bid on it 

Here, however, is another shot of her molesting another secretary (who oddly enough quit a few months ago).  That's as close as any of us are getting to seeing her in her skivvies (unless the gin ploy finally works!)

[Sephroth57]

You do realize that the Unemployment office can stop paying if you are unable to prove you are actively seeking work...?

that is true but in NJ its pretty laid back. I know several people who have collected it for the full year with no checkups or anything. my mom, my friends, NJ unemployment must be lazy

[DrewKaree]

I am a nice Canadian.  We all are. 

I stand by my comment that you're the nicest Canadian real estate baron that I know

I've never told you if I knew of others

Heather, in case he's not being entirely honest with you, click this link to see my quickly changing opinion of him....you can decide if you want to read WHY I'm starting to think of him this way

[Bones]

I am digging that chick Zakk.

You can tell her there is a special guy in Oz that has a rocket in his pocket over her.

[Sephroth57]

lmao, crazy aussies

[Stingray]

We're gonna need that ebay URL.

[ChadTower]

I've been around a lot of models.  That chick has a nice rack, but she ain't real model material.

[Stingray]

I've been around a lot of models.  That chick has a nice rack, but she ain't real model material.

See, now she has to give up the portfolio just to prove Chad wrong.

-S

[ChadTower]

It would be an occasion on which I would gladly admit to being wrong.

[Sephroth57]

yeah shes pretty hot but not a model. just from what i can see in the limited pics, looks a little too 'wide' to be a model

[Bones]

Needs a chin omelete.

[Zakk]

I've been around a lot of models.

[ChadTower]

Why are you teling us what danny has in his pockets and why do you think she would care about that hairy knuckle draggin' mouth breather woman repeller?

Ummm... danny, if you're reading this, edit it in your mind to read Boss7 or some other such aussie.  And so on.

*edit*
had to change it to the normal incorrect spelling

At least you got my name right for a change.

[Stingray]

Everyone know that the Aussie spelling of 'boss' has three esses and a silent seven.

-S

[ChadTower]

And a lisp.

[DemonBrew]

I've been around a lot of models.  That chick has a nice rack, but she ain't real model material.

Nothing personal, just reminds me of:

[missioncontrol]

Hey Seph,

some states will pay your college and let you collect unemployment if your laid off....

some kind of employment relocation program

[ChadTower]

Nothing personal, just reminds me of:

That would only apply if I were saying I wouldn't hit it, which I would.

[Stingray]

Wrong forum.

[Sephroth57]

PRICELESS!   man today produced some quality photoshops

[Stingray]

Well it is Friday after all.

[Sephroth57]

im in the "get everything done so i can fcking leave mode" and ppl keep calling me

[Stingray]

I'm just waiting for the clock to tick over to the magic minute...aaaaand... I'm outta here.

-S

[MajorHavoc]

I'm kinda late to the party but...
Punched in promptly at 6:30 am
Looked forward to break,
ditto lunch and afternoon break.
clocked out at 3:00 pm.

Went home and the real work began.  Primed some antique airplane parts for a friend of a friend.  (MAME Cab subsidy.)  Then began fine tuning a stained glass panel for a friend of the missus.  (another MAME Cab subsidy).  Hmmmm a Stained glass Marquee...It has possibilities.

  Now where did I set my beer!

[DrewKaree]

At least you got my name right for a change.

Don't worry.  I changed that for you.  All is better now, bos!

edit it in your mind to read Boss7 or some other such aussie.  And so on.

I like it!

[Stingray]

I don't know, I still have to concede that Mr. C's "Seph live in concert" pic is the best one posted so far.

-S

[missioncontrol]

It's going to be a challenge to beat his photoshop.

[Sephroth57]

i dunno though jager is pretty badass

[ChadTower]

Seriously, especially frosty Jagr.

I thought the best part of the jagr photoshop was the comment put into the reply box.  Awesome.

[Sephroth57]

jagerbombs are the best

[ChadTower]

Define that for me.

[Sephroth57]

 Scale ingredients to  servings
1/2 can Red Bull

[ChadTower]

I've never had a red bull.  I haven't been in a bar in many years.

[DrewKaree]

I've never had a red bull.  I haven't been in a bar in many years.

The Red Bull doesn't change the Jager taste too drastically, and it's rather high priced to be adding to Jager if you're someone who likes Jager and won't like it being diluted.

You and I have no use for Jager bombs.  Seph probably doesn't like Jager, but doesn't mind Jager bombs.

[ChadTower]

Jagr is light stuff anyway, shots wise.

I love me some 100 proof schnapps, there used to be stuff called Perma Frost (from Yukon Jack), it was like a binary liquid.  Some cinnamon, some peppermint, it was awesome.  Haven't seen it in years.

In college I used to spend many nights with a bottle of Rumple Minze and a bottle of Goldschlager.

Best drink ever, the Suck Bang and Blow.

[duffjr]

i see a couple of woodies in the background.  and why are the chairs in the waiting room all facing eachother?

[missioncontrol]

my day at work.......

- surfed the forums
- watched Wilma make landfall

I didn't know you were into scale modeling. More evidece for us being twins separated at birth.

I didn't know I was either untill a member sent me to a pinball side where they were doing some scale models of pins and now that i bassically sit around and do nothing I got to do something to pass the time.
