it&#39;s days like these that keep me on my winning streak

I dunno, certain trainwrecks can inspire a sort of awe...

From:

True dat. However, this was more about our "awesome" work. (aka no one fucked up lately)

From:

...so they're awed at the fact no one has cocked up?

You need this icon more than me.

From:

Hey, sometimes you need to be excited about the little things. ;)

From:

I think the people that know my current work situation would say that I need that icon more than you. :P

It's a great icon by the way. :D

From:

And so apt for anyone who works as a technician :D

From:

LOL!
I work with engineers and alpha males who think women know nothing.
You got an icon for that? :)

From:

Funnily enough, so do :P

Although I haven't copped much shit on the brain department (it helps that in a previous life I was a programmer...and they weren't. And the fact I swear like a fuckin' trooper) for some reason they think I'm a delicate flower who can't sling 3ru cases around.

...at five foot 8 and 119 pounds, I'm not delicate. And for fucks sake, my home server weighs more than that 3RU - she clocks in at 132lb for gods sake..

I'm thinking of adapting that icon to read "I work WITH morons"

From:

Ha, well, my boss is an idiot. He's a better engineer than he is a boss. We'll constantly ride his ass about "We need to talk to you about these bills that need to be paid?" but he'll shine us on and forget us or get pissed at us for bugging him. Then when there's something HE wants that effects HIM... then he's all over us... "Why hasn't this been paid? This needs to be paid." MORON!!!

And then there's Tweedle-FuckedInTheHead and Tweedle-FuckedUpTheAss. Ever since my assistant and her sister who used to do shipping and other stuff got laid off, they either assume I know everything they did and how they did it, or they ask me some small thing and listen to about 1/3 of what I'm saying before tuning me out completely. Also, ever since the girls left, I've been telling them this and that, and then later after not paying attention to me they act as if I never said a word to them about this project or that process or... anything. Fuckers!

I'm not delicate either (granted I'm only 5'6 1/2" and thick like a brickhouse). I'm crude and crass and they know not to mess with me, but I think they view that as 'not to mess with me regarding stuff outside of work'. When it comes to work, I know nothing aside from answering the phone and taking orders from everyone else. They've seen my violent side and heard me talk like sailor (a friend of mine once said he liked the fact that I could make a sailor blush). But they just don't seem to get that I have a brain AND it works AND I occasionally (more often than not) KNOW better than they do.

I think I need to find me some work icons that reflect the bastard environment that I work in.

Care to share a pitcher of margarita with me to de-stress? :P LOL!

From:

I'm going to be making sweet sweet love to a bottle of kahlua when I get home..some fuckwit in the co-location decided it would be a fun idea to run random tests and completely arsefuck 8 radius servers.....

*homicidal eye-twitch*

I've actually managed to stun most of my co-workers, which I consider a high achievement considering most of them are ex-army. Mind you, I have 9 uncles, most of whom have served in the RAN (Royal Australian Navy)

and man, no one can swear like an Aussie sailor :D

From:

Sorry about your server problems.
*hugs... hands over giant mug of something*

Kahlua = yummy

I recently made a nice drink with milk, Amarula, Cask & Cream Temptations Chocolate, Barenjager Honey Liqueur and Hershey's Chocolate Syrup. That was yummy. And drunken out of a bright pink bendy straw. :)

For Valentine's Day, my friend (jokingly my girlfriend) gave me a present of a bottle of pomegranite juice and a bottle of spumonte. VDay for me started off 1/3 spumonte, 2/3 juice... then it became 1/2 spumonte, 1/2 juice... then I was relaxed enough to take a nap. :P

Australain sailor swearing... ohhhhhh, I wanna hear. :D

From:

mmm. Sounds like a honey bear (ice cream, kahlua, baileys, honey, and all sorts of lovely stuffs...)

Tried Kahlua with caramel topping and icecream/milk? Mmm. They sneak up on you :D

From:

Tee hee... you made me think of Eddie Izzard from his show "Circle" where he talks about where we need to go back to the original meaning of awesome. (I was watching the clip from his website.) He was saying something about how now we use it in response to something like 'these hot dogs are on sale' and we'd say 'awesome'. Because if it were truly awesome, we'd be like, "OMG, I cannot breathe because the buns are so awesome and...". Eh, I don't do it justice. You'd have to see it. :P

*meep*

From:

"It was awesome!"

"Like a hotdog?"

"No, like 10 million hotdogs!"

Ummm...yeah, I may have watched that once or twenty times... And had the exact same thought as soon as I read Leigh's entry.

From:

Tee hee... I was looking on Eddie's site to see when Sexie would be out on DVD, and it is, just not for our region so I would need a multi-regional player... which I don't.

And I own Circle. :D

[me wuvs Eddie]

From:

I have Sexie...only because I have no morals and downloaded it. But I HAD to own it. I have Dress to Kill, Circle, Glorious, and Sexie. Not that I'm obsessed or anything. Uh, can I friend you? Cause I looked at your userinfo, and after crying over the Jon Stewart quote (I weeped at that episode of the Daly Show), I saw you have about half my interests listed. :P

From:

You downloaded it? You cheeky bugger. :P

I've debated on getting a multi-player DVD machine, but at the time my best friend was buying me something to tide me over since my ex-roomie broke the one in her room (she'd only had it a year at the most... I think it burned out from her never turning it off) so she took back (temporarily so she said) the one in the living room that was hers. Seeing how lax she was in fixing the old one, my best friend just bought me a quick replacement.

Eddie DVD's I have: Circle, Definite Article, and I can't remember if I actually have Unspeakable or if I had just rented it. *cripes* I also own "We Know Where You Live:Live". He only hosts, but he and his buddies do a bit at the end, and some of the stuff on the DVD that didn't make the main cut for the DVD is funny. I need to get Dressed to Kill since that was my ex-roomie's copy, and she took it with her.

And I don't think you're obsessed. You just have good taste. :)

And sure you can friend me. Oh, you cried over the Jon Stewart quote? *hugs* I love Jon Stewart and the Daily Show, too. He's just so awesome. (Did you see him on Crossfire? He was wonderful.)

And consider yourself friended, too. :)

From:

I am in a constant state of SQUEE over the fact that Jon Stewart is hosting the Oscars. He is also a squijit, one of the first to officially receive the title. The only news I care about is The Daily Show. Weee- I have a new friend! That makes me all happy inside.

From:

>squijit<
Um, please explain?

I'm all squee about him, too.
I have to remember to watch the Oscars... now that I can. :D

From:

Ah yes. "squijit" is a Nicole-ism. The official definition is: a short, cute, guy that one just wants to grab by the ears and fuck senseless. (examples: Jon Stewart, Kevin Periera, Seth Green, Eddie Izzard, all the hobbits from Lord of the Rings)

The opposite of a squijit is a troll. No definition really needed.

They're trying to connect with you on YOUR level by using the language of the common peeps.

From:

Ummmm. I guess. I'm pretty sure I'm the only around here that uses awesome on a daily basis though.

From:

Then management is trying to connect with YOU.

You know I'm totally full of shit, right? I'm just harassing you because I'm bored.

From:

Wow, if the company president is trying to connect with me, he's going about it all wrong. There needs to be something about rock stars or boys making out or something like that in there.

Yes, I know. ;) I'm bored too. 20 more mins...

I have another hour and twenty minutes. *whimper*
