well stop banging your forehead on the keyboard.....you're not a monkey so you aren't going to compose any of Shakespeare's works.

Emmit

I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one that sits at work and gets on this site...When people come to my office (upstairs), I hear their feet on the steps and quickly change to Excel or something company related. Its sucks not having a computer at home...

I'm usually on as well at work. But sometimes I have to go build a server or work on one in the datacenter and then I'm gone from my desk.

Gary1

I'm not so lucky...my crew is quick to "get something on me", so I must be sly. None of them will play pb, cuz they think of that as "sucking up to the boss"...no wonder I love the weekend so much!

I bet everyone that has a net connection at work plays on here, i know i do

matthepepe
04-02-2003, 01:16 PM
i do my rounds about once an hour

angel-owners
pbnation (used to be pbc but its dead)
force of nature
paintball.com
cnn
msn
espn
and sometimes a random site but those are the main ones.

Do you ever hear of any buds getting "the talk" about being on-line at work?

Im a sysadmin, i have given some.

Gary1
04-02-2003, 01:33 PM
We had a person doing the porn...how he got passed the filter, I don't know. He stayed on those sites the whole day (our admin told me). No wonder he never got anything done (worthy of mentioning).

Inside going out isnt that hard, but that depends on how your proxy is setup.

Gary1
04-02-2003, 01:42 PM
It is commonly said that "we shouldn't go anywhere on the net that we would not be proud or ashamed of". I am grateful that this site is maintained in the manner that it is. All of the managers here know my passion, and AOG is mainlined to technical help and "flaming" and trash is discouraged/edited/prohibited. ok, enough sucking up....

C.Carles-AOG
04-02-2003, 04:21 PM
I'm a Sys Admin too, forget proxies, do it at the router/firewalls. That'll stop people cold. Nomad, you're right, this site is always up and I wouldn't have the slightest hesitation to let the CIO look through...thanks!

Emmit
04-02-2003, 04:52 PM
ya know.....a few years ago I never would've imagined myself in a desk job, mon - fri working 8-10 hours a day......but family will tend to change things in a man, having to take responsibility for another person makes you change the way you want to live/work.....trust me I was an active guy, and I enjoyed being outside and working with my hands etc.....but raising a kid on your own means you work while they're at school, and you're home every night to tuck them in......BIG difference....

matthepepe
04-02-2003, 05:00 PM
im only working to pay rent and bills, everythign else is fun and games, the girl situation is akward right now, and college life needs to be fun, so i dont have to take the responsibility to tuck kids in :) and my job consists of surfing the web for 4 hours at most in one day and then leaving and going to class.... but now that its summer time, i dont really go to class much anymore, just skip and hope to catch up later.

About the caffiene thing...if I don't get my fix I shake.

Gary1
04-02-2003, 05:23 PM
My children are grown now, but i remember the days. My children's mother (read: ex wife now) brow beat me if I even thought about having fun. Life is good now. I work to pay the mortgage and assorted bills...and PAINTBALL!! My current wife plays and I don't think it could get any better. I'm now 42 years old and my new saying is "enjoy every day that you wake up" :cheers:

Jedrith

Now that is cute...A married couple that plays paintball. I hope she doesn't bitch that your marker costs over a grand! All in good fun tommy.

04-02-2003, 08:34 PM
I dont know about you guys but, my girlfriend deals with me playing all the time so she can do whatever she wants on the weekends, and because I make money while doing it. Yeah and she suprisingly doesn't have a problem with me owning a $2000 marker. I'm in the same situation as matt I work only to pay bills.

Gary1

The wife likes to sleep in on some play days...but when she plays, she uses the LCD and the IR3 for me...(yeah, we're spoiled)

35 teams, the field I was on saw 41 games, ended at or around 5pm... Last night, trying to sleep...would wake up with a jolt and almost yell "13-12-11-10 seconds..."

Emmit
04-07-2003, 08:45 AM
why would you count down the time remaining? :confused: isn't it the teams responsibility to know how much time is left in a game? I mean I can understand it in rec play, or even in a scenario game, but tourny play? :confused:

Oh well, I hate it when that happens, you either played a tourney, or reffed all day and you wake up at night all tensed up and what not.....

Gary1
04-07-2003, 11:26 AM
The latter...headed 1 of 2 fields. Coffee....ummmm Coffee.....

Emmit
04-07-2003, 11:43 AM
well then I want to play one your tournies, then there isn't any need for a timer, you're calling it for me......sheesh.......rookie tourney maybe?

Gary1
04-07-2003, 12:16 PM
You do a countdown to start, right?

Emmit
04-07-2003, 12:38 PM
only countdown we get is game starts in 10 seconds on my mark. mark......go go go

Gary1
04-07-2003, 01:01 PM
That is what we do..."gametime in 13-12-11-10..........go-go-go" It's silent from 10 to start....and no "time left warnings". We only had one game to go a full 10 mins....38 seconds seemed to be the unofficial record for the entire event. (3-man). Yeah, its small compared to what you guys do, but still fun. must get more coffee......

04-07-2003, 08:32 PM

i havent a clue, but its back to work this morning,

Emmit
04-08-2003, 10:30 AM
I don't think there was a song on the radio when he woke up, it was the DJ making some comment about the weather wasn't it?

Gary1
04-08-2003, 11:09 AM
Weather...yes it was i do believe.... Someone asked if I just live the week waiting for the weekend....DUH! I don't have children to tend...the weekdays are sometimes boring. You guys?

School is so boring! I am in French class with nothing to do. The teacher talks in French the whole class, so I have no clue what she is saying. Glad we have our own laptops at school, I don't what I would do if I couldn't get on AOG.

Anyways, someone think of something to talk about or something.....

Gary1
04-08-2003, 11:47 AM
French class? My sister teaches that and Spanish....I tried Spanish...it was just like English but in a foreign language (duh)... conjugating (sp) verbs was bad enough in English.

04-08-2003, 12:01 PM
Yea, French class. Just took a test, which I probably failed. Now I am in Earth Science learning about Metamorphic Rocks, fun times.

wouldn't mind sitting through a good Physics class again tho, it's been so long since I look at the Alpha decay of U-238......:duh:

you guys are talking way beyond my level, lets talk about barbies or something.

Emmit
04-08-2003, 12:45 PM
Tommy......not in a long time......I haven't touched anything Nuclear related since 97.....

Matt if the Alpha decay if U-238 is too much for you can we talk about Xenon poisons, and Beta Decay of U-235?

or did you just want to comment on Barbie's tits?

matthepepe
04-08-2003, 12:49 PM
barbies tits are always a good subject but there are a lot of young ears around so we can stick to the decay of u-23438 and how its fun to chew on the left over remains.

how about we talk about wiffel ball, or half ball, anyone else play? ;)

Emmit

damn matt you making a new isotope there?

did you move to Springfield or something?

Gary1

I know what wiffle balls are, but what is half ball ? :again:

matthepepe
04-08-2003, 03:20 PM
ya what is half ball.

The_Rooster
04-08-2003, 03:35 PM
OMG you guys have been deprived of the greatest game of all!!!! you never heard of a haffie or a half ball? God it is a great game. You play with a broom stick or a stickball stick or just a round skinny stick, if its not round or too thick its too easy to hit. You play with a half ball or a haffie. Most desired haffie is a pimple ball its made in 2 halves or a haffie brand ball. Now you thought it was hard to hit a wiffel ball with a good pitcher, try hitting half as big a target and with the same moves of a wiffel ball. You have 2 strikes a fould tip can get you out and theres 3 outs. You can feild the same way as with wiffel ball you knock it down befoee it goes pst pitcxhers mound its an out. Then you set marks and past each one is a dubble, tripple, and homerun.

I was brought up playing this game and i thought it was a national thing its been arround as long or longer then wiffel ball. I don't know anyone who doesn't know how to play half ball, so i might of assumed it was a national thing, but i am a bit naieve(sp).

Someone else please tell me they have played or at least heard of half ball.

I enjoy dodge ball. all kinds......prison dodge ball,army dodge ball, regular dodge ball, I enjoy all types. Thats a good game(unfortunately they dont play it in this ****ty state that I had to move to under penalty of homelessness)thats national pritty much isnt it? Who hasnt heard of dodge ball?

And i dont work but i come here during computer class after i write my "flow followed the flamingo five times friday." as many times as i can in 10 minutes(o so much fun)

Emmit
04-08-2003, 10:36 PM
I remember somewhere that Dodgeball was actually outlawed in some places.......

wdp child where in SC are you? I lived in Charleston for 5 years, and trust me when I went to school there we played lots of dodgeball

Emmit
04-09-2003, 08:56 AM
Tommy you forgot the most important fun game ever.....dodge bottlerockets......I remember the old days of bottle rocket wars, we used to take large cardboard tubes and make launchers and stuff so we could do multiple round bursts and things.......ah yes the days of a mis spent childhood......we'd get in trouble and get chased every now and then because one of the areas we liked to play was right next to a golf course so we'd hide behind a sand dune and launch bottle rockets over the top of the green while guys were trying to putt out, it was funny as hell......

Gary1
04-09-2003, 09:26 AM
:doh: Your're right....totally forgot about them. Living in the country, we didn't have golfers. We used to launch them (when not at each other) at the neighbors cows. Funny to watch a 700 pound cow jump! Here is a strange fantasy...make golfers wear goggles, play 18 holes and not get hit by some ever-fun-luvin paintball player....

Being "bored" in the office usually leads to rambling conversations.....and most often times, the conversations wind up in the ditch....potty humor and sex....2 reliable subjects to talk about. So, the wife and I played saturday, and she nailed me while I was moving into a bunker....I'll never live it down!

Emmit
04-14-2003, 08:50 AM
oh boy another Monday starts off slow and boring.......

at least now I can say the countdown to the 7man begins for us.....27th we play our first 7man event woo-hoo!

Gary1
04-14-2003, 08:58 AM
slow, boring :dito: We get "Good Friday", so I'm taking Wed. and Thur. as well....that means only waking up one more day this week and having to go to work...:tongue: Where is the 7man being played?

Emmit
04-14-2003, 09:02 AM
you're a major fart monkey......I have to work all week......

7man is in Dallas, it's a series here in the State, it's run by PMI

Gary1
04-14-2003, 10:11 AM
A state big as Texas....series.... How many miles to the most distant field played?

Emmit
04-14-2003, 10:12 AM
this will probably be about 4 hour drive or so.....

They play events in San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Dallas, and a couple of other areas.....most events are overnighter trips....

Emmit
04-14-2003, 03:29 PM
luckily for the both of us, it seems that these guys are big on bringing their families to events with them.....it'd save so much money if we carpooled, but they want to bring g/f's and kids and stuff with them.....man I'm there to play paintball and win, not be lovey dovey and chase kids around all day.....mine stay home (or at least they aren't anywhere near the field where I have to worry about them).....and of the 7 guys on the team there are 2 others who don't bring their families but I think they've got something going on between them (if you know what I mean) they are ALWAYS together, and they share a ride/room once we get there. So not only do I have to ride alone in my roomie Durango, but I sleep alone too (although that might be for the better)

Gary1
04-14-2003, 04:33 PM
The wife seems to understand what a late friend reffered to as "race face"....or game face... focused in on the task at hand for the day and really getting into it. Rugrats and whining girlfriends/lovers/wives (or all the forementioned) detract from the big picture....PAINTBALL!!! And, to each their own...don't ask, don't tell....:fairy:

did I mention that this is my last work day this week?

Emmit
04-15-2003, 09:25 AM
bite me......did I mention that I finally found out yesterday that I'm basically being forced to take a vacation day on Friday? It's not a regular holiday, so they are making everyone in the plant take a vacation day instead......wtf is up with that crap? I'm actually kinda getting annoyed at the constant forced vacation, either shut the plant down and give us time off, or don't I don't care either way, but don't tell me I have to burn my vacation hours because you don't want to work that day....I've got better things to spend my vacation hours on (ie recovering from the Dallas tournament in 2 weeks after playing all day, and then trying to drive home I'm taking Monday off)

matthepepe
04-15-2003, 09:50 AM
that cant be legal to "make" you take a day off, i wouldnt do it, show up for work and claim the doors were locked and you couldnt get in. then you dont burn that day

Emmit
04-15-2003, 09:59 AM
well I have the keys tho.....

it's basically one of those situations where they are saying "Well we're going to be shutdown, so you can either take a day off, or you can come in and sit at your desk and do nothing because you'll be the only one here...." and since so much of my job requires other people to actually do theirs it means I'll have nothing to do for 8 hours on a Friday.....total bummer eh

Emmit

see the trick is to keep your head in your hand at all times and keep it at the angle so it looks like your looking at your monitor, and have you arm in a way it covers your face from the open side of the cubicle, the other sides are closed in so nobody can see from those.

Emmit

It may be a regional slang term. "Alligators" referrs to the irritated, aggitated, and generally pissed managers in a manufacturing facility when things aren't going well. You step into the front office and BAM; you become part of the food chain. If you can do your part, you stay just ahead of the teeth. Slip, ever so slightly, and you wind up "gator :pileocrap"
