No lose situation there, enjoy it and be safe.

Have a nice leisurely breakfast and a long shower.

Taking you 1 hr to do what used to take 4 hrs and then having 3 hrs to kill until lunch. I hate this.

 

[Mudcat]

Yeah, I'll just be extending my usual morning brain exercises by half an hour. It's a good thing.

 

[Mudcat]

Just chillin'. Yeah plenny of time right here.

 

[Cami]

I could have used an extra half hour this morning.

 

[bacon]

Well maybe if you didn't stay up half the night sexing up yo man you wouldn't be so tired. Next time make it the whole night.

 

[Cami]

Good point Bacon. It was worth it.

Strongest Saultyism I've seen all year.

Furthermore, after out morning meetings - which were designed to basically be pep talks - I have come away feeling certain that my company has no future.

Not jokin' neither.

I mean, it may have a future as in getting bought up by some monstrous entity like Bell Canada or whatever, but who knows what that could mean to me?

I believe I am seeing through the bullshit and what I am seeing is an untenable situation.

Does anyone remember Furio from The Sopranos? There was a scene which absolutely cracked me up where he was attempting (and succeeding) to intimidate a doctor who was not providing care for Uncle Junior that Tony found satisfactory. So Tony and Furio tracked him down to a golf course. Tony played nice cop and offered him a nice new driver (while "requesting" that this doctor be much more attentive and return all messages promptly) - meanwhile Furio was in his face threateningly and he kinda backed him into the edge of a pond. At one point Furio, who could barely speak English says something like, "Golf. Stupid fucking-a game."

And he knocks the doctor's hat off and into the pond.

My point? Laser tag. Stupid fucking-a game.

 

[Cami]

hang in there Muddy. You just got a new desk. It won't dissolve anytime too soon.

 

[reno cool]

Love that scene Muddy. One of my most memorable from Sopranos.

So you don't run in laser tag? what is it?

 

[Mudcat]

They tell you not to run. It is against the published rules which you go through before every game. It's very dark and strategically it is more about ducking behind corners and peeking through openings than outrunning anyone. But you kind of have to run a bit at times - if you want to "win."

People end up running. One of my co-workers ran head first into the edge of a wall and cut his head open and got 4 stitches. No shit.
