Hellloooooooo

[LA_MERC_Dirge]

Okay, I've been at work for about an hour and a half now and I have seen one other person! Normally there are 25-30 people in this office! Is anyone else out there?!? It's GREAT to be working when everyone else isn't!!!!

[CajunTech]

It's like that here too. Everyone must have taken off for a 5 day weekend.

[LA_MERC_Yankee]

If it makes you feel any better Dirge, I'm just waking up. :cool:


Too many Hard Cola's and CS until 1AM.

[[Cajun] BigEasy]

Hey hey hey - I'm at work. People are here but slowly leaving and I get to leave leave early :D

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

Same here. Almost nobody here...which is great. That, and we get to go home at 12 (1.5 hours away!)

[[Cajun] BigEasy]

I hear that. I'll most likely leave here at the same time and then I'll go about preparing my body in consume massive amounts of food.

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

I'm here all day......but only in body.

Scott

[LA_MERC_Andyconda]

Same thing here Scott. I'm here only in body until 4:15. Hardly anyone here as well. Will be on the forums alot today. Woohoo!

[LA_MERC_Yankee]

I found out where all the folks have gone. .They are at the freakin airport. This place is packed. Go away people, I'm trying to enjoy a quiet pre-Thanksgiving holiday

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

Hahah...well, it is the busiest travel day of the year. It WOULD figure, then, that it is busy there. Poort bastage...here I am...at home...kicking back...getting ready to watch a movie.

*sigh*

[LA_MERC_Mercy]

OH SHUT UP...:slp

[LA_MERC_Dirge]

Yeah zip it LA TECH!!!!

And Yankee, what's wrong big guy? All those people slowing you down from getting to your turkey lunch and slowing you down from getting back home?

Meanwhile, the real troopers carry on...

[LA_MERC_Yankee]

You wanna talk about slowing things down. We were waiting for the employee bus to go over the place where lunch was being served and stood there 10 minutes. Apparently traffic is so bad on the lower level that it has created a gridlock on the traffic loop. Kind of like European Vacation - "Look kids, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace." I should probably leave now if I was to get home by 6.

[LA_MERC_LaTech]

muhahahaha!!

[LA_MERC_Captain_Obvious]

HAHAAH, just hope a security gaurd doesn't get caught sleeping ont the job and they make everyone get back off the planes and go through security again.

pretty much dead where I'm at too. bosses have gone Duck hunting and most everyone one else decided to take off.

yall have a great Thanksgiving! and eat lots of turkey so you will be sleepy when playing CS as I knife you!!!

btw, I hear the line for absentee voting is about as backed up as the airport sounds. too bad you can't do like in Brewsters Millions and vote for none of the above.

[LA_MERC_Andyconda]

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

Scott

[LA_MERC_Cowboy_From_Hell]

Damn!!! that crap isn't in English.....

SCott

[LA_MERC_Yankee]

Congrats Andy. I'm proud to say you are the only person I know that has something patented. :d:

[LA_MERC_Andyconda]

That was a funny BB. I signed company policy that pretty much means I get NO money just an ada boy. And your right, most of that patent I wrote but when the patent attorneys got to it, I couldn't even read what I had wrote. Did I say that. Damn Lawers!

[J2EE]

I noticed it took only two years to get it, the founder at my company had to wait 4 yrs to get his approved and his second one has been in the process for 6yrs.

way to go:d:

[LA_MERC_Andyconda]

Yeah it took forever I thought and it was over 2 years. Couldn't imagine waiting 4 6 or longer. Ouch!

[LA_MERC_Dirge]

Yankee FYI My dad has two patents.... So Andy is the 2nd person.

[R@di0$taR]

Well Dirge i'm on the other end, taking calls here at BellSouths DSL Help Desk I havent taken a call all day been sitting here for 20 minutes without a call.

[LA_MERC_Yankee]

Dirge, what patents does your dad have?
