It's Friday, so why is the board so smurfing slow?
« on: December 02, 2005, 03:26:47 pm »
I'm bored. You people exist inside my computer to entertain me. Somebody isn't doing their job. Hold on, that might be me.

As you were.

Making sure I don't get bored is far more important than you and your family having something to eat.

I'm home alone right now and the wife didn't leave my dinner on the table before she went to get the kids. I'd go to McDonalds or something but that's a 25 minute ride each way

I left work early.  When I'm not at work, I only check in here occasionally.

Theres a time and a place for things.  Home is for relaxing.  Work is for goofing off on the computer.
But wasn't it fun to think you won the lottery, just for a second there???

Can't argue with that either. I guess I could, I just don't want to.

I don't feel like arguing about whether or not I'm too lazy to argue.

I'm really ticked off because I get an email at 3:55 on friday asking if I can be available all weekend for sporadic project support.  I was at 40+ hours before I got up this morning.

Only 40+?  I ducked out at 2 today 'cuz I'm leaving for New Hampshire tonite...  And I'm hovering around 60 hours somewhere.

I tell people I work half days.  12 hours is half a day, right???

I miss overtime.  Being salaried is not worth it during crunch time.
But wasn't it fun to think you won the lottery, just for a second there???

"I came to this company for the promise of 40-45 hour weeks so I could spend more time with my kids."

S'funny, sometimes I spend more time at work to get away from the kids. :)

It sucks that what companys promise never pans out.
But wasn't it fun to think you won the lottery, just for a second there???

I've been pretending that my email doesn't work for the last five years. I have no idea how I get away with that, but I do.
