Red Bull ? It keeps you awake and buzzing. I?ve had two cans during my time on site today.

Don?t ask me why, I just thought I?d throw that one in for discussion.

I don't remember what they tasted like, I usually liked them all. Blue were notably not that good to me. I'm usually a fan of red flavors myself. But now for the traditional starburst my ordering is:
1)Pink
2)Red
3)Orange
4)Yellow

I was watching Bad News Bears on TV and then was looking around for more movies. Flipped to SlingBlade and had one of my more stupid thoughts in thinking that whenever BillyBob says MMMM HMMMM requires a chugging 1/2 a beer. I was laughing about it when I thought about it, but now in print it doesnt seem like a good idea at all

It was really boring, then it became 5 and the boss wanted to play UT2K3; so we played; it wasn't boring anymore.

Not for me. I installed two new 48 port switches in the middle of the day (bad idea) and I accidentally plugged two link cables from the same switch into another switch and caused the switches to lock up. Then later cleaning up cords in the server room I stepped on the power cord to the Cisco 2600 Internet router and we lost internet for 5 minutes. Just not my day at all.

You didn't have STP running on the switches?

That actually looks fun, but I think I would probably get caught playing :(

Edit: What server are you on frag?

i'm on server 1 in the US, coordinates 161/-178.

If you're going to play at work (like I do) look up a program called WinTravian. You can minimize it to the system tray and no one ever knows...

It's not really something you do actively, it's sort of like a slow-mo Age of Empires. You have to wait hours for resources to collect. I end up checking on it 3-5 times per day while I'm at work.


that sounds suspiciously like Planetarion... god, that game had a hold on me, back in the day.

I did something similar way back when (a very long time ago). I was installing a few additional 3com SS 3300 24 ports switches to a live network, and I ended up creating a loop in the network which resulted in two entire VLANs falling over. My bad.

I just found out that the building I work in houses serial murderers and rapists in the basement. It was not a boring day.

It's a City/County Building with a maximum security prison in the basement.

Edit: In downtown Knoxville, next to the Tennessee Supreme Court.

I'm supposed to be here another two hours, but I think I will sneak out in about 15 minutes.

You serious!? THats insane!

Ut2k4 at work would definitely free up some time, but at work if you mention, video games, or any technology you are ripped apart for being a nerd....still do anyways... I work in IT staffing...figures no one knows what the hell a GIG is or, what a LCD is...
