TGIF

You can get them at sporting goods, hunting, and fishing stores. You add a little water and they generate heat via a harmless chemical process. They're a couple of bucks each and small enough to fit in your shoes. Place them on the sides of the keyboard. Try to find some at lunch, since it won't get any warmer next week.

Love my climate controlled computer room.

51 degrees in here any more.

The space heater is keeping me kinda warm.

You make some good suggestions, but that would mean that I would have to go outside. I'm not willing to do that.

I might just have to suck it up and go next door to the 'warm' trailer. Of course, that means spending my day with the tech support brats. Which means I will be warm but chances are likely that I'll get hit in the head with a nerf arrow.

They come in pairs. They can be tucked into any garment that contains body parts that come in pairs, if you know what I mean.

Call in chilly

If your employer can't provide an environmentally acceptable workplace, they should give you the day off with pay.

Could be worse, you could have a flood in your server room and lose 18 servers over the weekend. Oh no, wait, that was us... never mind, I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

did go home. Big baby.

In your hat to warm your ears. You sly dog!

It's good to be Pure!!!!! :)

well, my boobs really aren't cold.

I clearly meant they could be put in earmuffs.

now that everybody's safe I can tell you that it was actually Chuck Norris piloting the plane. And of course, it was not a crash, but Chuck Norris pulled the earth up :-)

I hear he actually lassoed the ferries and tugs and pulled them up to the plane. Two of them were still at anchor but he pulled hard enough to break the chains. He also swam under and unloaded the luggage; the FAA has it in impound.

so they would not hit the bridge. Go Chuck!

Hats off to that Pilot tho. Really.

should send him a TR mug

WHICH I HAVE! YAY! :::pets the TR mug:::
:::rewraps it in bubble wrap:::

Thanks Sonya!

I dunno what the squishy computer was for so I stabbed it with the Pen.. :-)

Now clam up before I get Chuck Norris to teach you a lesson. And if I'm really miffed, I'll have Charles Bronson rise from the dead and slap you around. He's a LOT tougher than Chuck!

I would never get away with doing that.

boy has his swim meet, and I am one of the parents that is putting on the after school dinner for the team.

I am so outta here.

Mae, tell them to get you some heat or shut the place down. Can't type with cold hands!

I feel yah. I was working in a closet when I first started here. Yes Im out of the closet now. But it was a few days cleaning the dust out of my servers before I could get back to some semblance of normal. I didnt have the luxury of working anywhere else. So nowhere was a huge step up from the closet.

Im SO glad its friday, Im not so glad because I have to do a full failover of my domain server today and I'm worried. LOL

Damn! I'm laughing so much that I can barely type.

I think I'll just sit back and watch.

Whilst I don't always think it's particularly cool to antagonise Mae, snow way would I give her the cold-shoulder and put a freeze on communicating with her.

Neil :)

but my brain is frozen.

When I thaw out though..

so just give up now.

by xnavydk Jan 16, 2009

I'm on the bench, so to speak, I don't have a contract right now. This is my first bench warming session since I became a consultant, and I HATE it!!!

I'm the kind of guy that likes to be busy. I hate standing still. This is killing me. I've been reading tons of stuff these past two weeks, getting my knowledge up to date, but after two weeks straight, I'm going bunkers. There is so much you can pour in the bucket. I can pour more in the bucket than the bucket can absorb.

I wanna go home. Although, I'm not sure what I would be doing there anyways. With these temperatures, I'm not going to do out door activities.

I think I'll go catch a movie this afternoon. It's been a long time since I did that.

TCB

Cool. Nothing like a good (or bad) pun. :D

Add a 'Bummer Mae, it's hard to work effectively and enjoy what you're doing when you're cold.' Hope your day improves in heated fashion.

It's 9 degrees here, with a wind chill of 3. Brrr... Close to 10,000 people in my area are without power. Woof. Gotta be cold, cold, cold.

20 years old, umpteen thousand mile on it, not garaged. Go figure.

I suddenly have an unallotted afternoon before me. I'm cranking up this fire.

Gosh. I'll miss work. :(

Is there is anything else I may do? Negative time?

by shellbot Jan 16, 2009

That would be a breach of Health & Safety and an employee is entitled to leave the office untill the situation is fixed.

by jdclyde Jan 16, 2009

no fricken way.

you want an answer to that? ]:)

by santeewelding Jan 16, 2009

Far more interested in how you achieve that separation and distinction of "absolutely" and "certain".

by the scummy one Jan 16, 2009

they are scattered in 3 locations though, so I dont have a pic with all of them in it

or I'll kick your ice.

Do you hear that strange sound like a rusty door hinge? That's the sound of a pun stretched (well) beyond breaking point.

I'll put it down to hypothermia. Sounds like it's almost as warm outside of my office as it is inside yours.

it was the best I could do.

And adding insult to injury..we have no working bathrooms in the trailer, so I have to go outside to the main building. I thought of the 'ice' comment just as I was walking over a patch of ice. I almost fell and broke my ice.

That was the question that a co-worker asked of a vendor.

OK, International firm that provides medical systems. We are paying them large amounts of money for a suite of products.

They "forget" to do a critical task, and have the nerve to try to blame it on us. I fired back an email that probably blistered the guy's eyes and let him know that it's not our problem because they haven't given us access to the system yet, and they better get the job done, or else.

So why do these idiots make so much money when they can't read a calendar? He's lucky he's not on site today because get a chewing out like he wouldn't believe. In fact, I've been envisioning a large deep sinkhole and me backing a truck up and dumping his limp body in it. I can always dream.

AAARRRGGGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Personal foul; unnecessary punning! 15 yards, loss of down; neilb is ejected from the game!"

That would be a reference to that quaint little game that you play? We play Rugby over here. No Kevlar body armour and no stoppages for injury. Wipe up the blood and get on down!

Not that I play it, mind...

Nope, no "Scrum Network" on my cable listings.
