Bokishi Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I do, Bok. I just wanted one that was...bigger. How big was your old one? 32 inches Now I know I've been up too long. I took that entirely the wrong way... Current 3DMark
Dark_Raven Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Silly boys. I am watching the Pro Bowl. Boring. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

Guest The Architect Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 I'm having a hard time finding objective research information on the effects teleworking has on productivity. Basically I'm trying to find information that speaks positively of it, negatively of it and hopefully something that claims it's an insignificant or minor factor towards work productivity. Like articles/documents from people on it, hopefully with statistics or at least some **** to back up their opinion. **** all luck so far.
Nick_i_am Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Built this. It's meant for an animation, so it breaks and all the parts are fully movable, but I kinda got carried away on the detail. Guess I'll animate tomorrow instead (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)

Deraldin Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 I've got a question for you Kor. Do you have stupid people there that don't seem to wear hats and/or gloves no matter what the temperature? I ask because it was -20 this morning with a -30 some windchill and it was amazing the number of people I saw walking around without hats and gloves.
Walsingham Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 i had some free time this week as a contract fell through unepxectedly. So I vounteered to work for my local paper. It's really interesting, especially as it's a jump or two 'down' the ladder from what I used to do. But it's hard work for all that. Lots of running around. It's a good laugh. "It wasn't lies.

Enoch Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) I got a new piece of furniture in my office today. As I work in a government office, nobody brings furniture in from home, but there is a stock of supplementary office furniture (i.e., everything beyond desk, office chair, some built-in shelving, and 2 chairs for visitors) that generally gets passed around among the occupants and is the subject of many office political disputes. It's a small bookcase (roughly 4' high, 3' wide, 18" deep) with glass-paned doors. A co-worker had moved to a new office near mine to get a window, but it was smaller than her previous space, which meant that the bookcase wouldn't fit. Since my (non-window) office was nearby and has extra space, she offered it to me. The finish is damaged in a few places, and the magnetic clasp to hold the left-side door shut is broken off and missing, but it already looks a lot nicer than the conspicuous empty space I had before it arrived. Now I just need to accumulate some stuff to put inside and on top of it. And I really would like to snag a coat rack from somewhere to put in the corner... Edited February 11, 2008 by Enoch
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 I found out really IS easy! :D Thank you Mythbusters! "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"
Kor Qel Droma Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 I've got a question for you Kor. Do you have stupid people there that don't seem to wear hats and/or gloves no matter what the temperature? I ask because it was -20 this morning with a -30 some windchill and it was amazing the number of people I saw walking around without hats and gloves. Of course!! As a matter of fact, I wanted to fire a kid at work today because he's been bitching that it's 'too cold' to go outside to push carts. He says he's coughing up blood and stuff, yada yada yada. Me myself, I find that thermal underwear plus a hoody under your winter coat does wonders. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
samm Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) I found out really IS easy! :D Thank you Mythbusters! How sick is that... Rather watch if it has to be mythbuster [edit] Oh, this thread has a topic. Well, today's dinner didn't come out as intended, because that stupid chicken saltimbocca just wouldn't get to a point where it was eatable. Other than this, nothing worth noting really... Except maybe that I've not been assigned a particular job at work today, so I spent most of my time there reading a lot of theoretical stuff on economy and programming.

Me myself, I find that thermal underwear plus a hoody under your winter coat does wonders. Damn whiners. Too cold? Bah! Get out there and do your job already! My entire wardrobe is pretty much good for spring and fall and not much else on either side of those. Even my jacket doesn't seem to feel as warm as it used to, although that might just be my imagination. Luckily I don't usually have to worry about being outside for more than 5 minutes at a time.
Kor Qel Droma Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 In a bizarre twist of fate, the temperature is just below zero now. That means that this week it will probably rain, then start freezing again. I shouldn't bitch about it so much. It's not like it doesn't happen every winter. Jaguars4ever is still alive.
