What no thread? But I need mindless inane chat to get me through Friday

( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 10:30, 104 replies, latest was 16 years ago)

I'm finishing early and going to a party tonight, I feel excited!

Somebody made me a better offer for my Focus than your £35.
I accepted. Sorry...
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 10:34, Reply)

I'm sat waiting for some numpty to send me his revised application form through so I can finish off the appraisal. So far, zilch. And I'm up to date on other stuff.

I'm not going to lie, I'm upset. I was willing to go up to £38.72

Hey DG and user.
Today I am 99% sure I will be getting a Samsung Omnia. It has Sam in the name so it must be awesome

Which means that I have to act like a goody good boy.
I hate acting like that. You know like when you start a new job and you're all "ooh ooh"...
Yarrrrrr

Today I will be getting a Dell Lattitude D620.
And I am all excited because I am spending the next four days with my lass!
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 10:56, Reply)

I have no idea what will be happening today, actually. I shall take it as it comes. One thing I do know is it will end with a pint.
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 11:02, Reply)

I hope it's better than the D630. I was given one by work and it was a hateful flimsy piece of shite. So much so that I may have 'accidentally' left it on the roof of a car I was testing.
I've got a Precision M6400 now as a replacement, and it's in a different league.
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 11:05, Reply)

The rest of today will be sat doing bugger all, other than chatting here.
Gods I wish I had a job that actually gave me something to do.

Not really, but you can't complain much when it's not costing a shiny bean.
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 11:07, Reply)

would send me the work they promised I'd have, I'd be busy today. As it is, I've worked my arse off these last few weeks to get stuff off my desk so I'm not going on 2 weeks leave with tons of unfinished business. So now, there's actually not much to do, if anything.
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 11:13, Reply)

The high end stuff feels well made, but the lower and mid range laptops feel like the screen will snap off when you open the lid, really cheap and plasticky.
I have a Toshiba and a Vaio and they're much better made, albeit significantly more expensive than a Dell. Even Thinkpads are pretty rubbish since the Lenovo takeover.
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 11:21, Reply)

You are very conciensious, if it was me I would care.
Badger, you had better watch out they are shiney beans.
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 11:23, Reply)

If I didn't I'd come back to work after a lovely fortnight off to a mountain of work that would leave me wanting another holiday...
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 11:25, Reply)

but I may change my mind again before lunch....
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 11:29, Reply)

I'm full expecting to have all the crap in the world on my desk come next Wednesday. Then again after that it won't be long till Edinburgh.
EDIT What phone is it Badger? I think you should get an iPhone.
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 11:35, Reply)

because the contracts with them are wank. Thinking of that Samsung Omnia
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 11:39, Reply)

this is turning into a long day and it's not even lunch time yet!
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 11:40, Reply)

That's a not bad phone that it. Still it wouldn't make me give up my iPhone though!
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 11:41, Reply)

the weekend is good. I'm in bed wrapped up in a duvet and not much else with a mug of Ovaltine. Yummo!
I'm also listening to terrible music like TATU
What're you up to Dok?
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 12:00, Reply)

And it's an 18 month contract, so I won't be changing my phone for quite a while.
edit: evening VC

I'm sitting at work doing nothng. The next four days are being spent with my girlfriend, and I'm looking forward to that.

My work email seems to have borked, so the work I'm expecting may not even come through today.
Fucksocks.

Work is just crap!
DG, it's your awesome borkyness.
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 12:17, Reply)

Managed to get through the morning without having anything to do, and now I've got document reviewing to do this afternoon. Joy.

You are the Borken King. Everybody else is just learning from you.
I'm bored, come on people entertain me!

sorry but can't be fucked. I'm not drunk enough to make the most of it if thats what I was going to do....
Dok - likewise. However - feel free to have another hug the pair of you.

I take one morning off, and the vermin come out of the woodwork.
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 12:47, Reply)

Morning off? Was it good?
Did you make up your mind about going to Wales this weekend?
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 12:49, Reply)

Vermin can be awesome.
Rats make great pets.
Cockroaches are a delicious crunchy snack.
EDIT: Wasn't a morning off, I was on site doing stuff. I'm leaving here after lunch to go to Wales :D

The bit with the rat-tail and the urethra was a little much for my liking.

This may hurt a little, but it's something you'll get used to.

What with all the rats and drool and stuff, I need to go and find some lunch.
It's just started raining.

that did make me chuckle.
God it's slow in here and in the real world today
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 13:42, Reply)

But to brighten the day up I just had the most awesome slab of chocolate cake this side of Belgium.
I have the buyers remorse.
Now I feel sick.
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 13:48, Reply)

I've got to go and do some work now. Don't you all stay on here chatting away like the mad people you are.
Shut up already!

By attempting to make a cup of tea that conforms to BS6008.

On days as slow as this you have to wait at least an hour before pronouncing the thread.

Did everybody die or something?
I don't think 've ever seen it this quiet!
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 15:08, Reply)

I managed to bork a thread for a whole hour the other day, and it wasn't even a weekend!
My project work has finally come through. Except that whereas this morning I was full of energy and enthusiasm to get the fucker done, I'm now looking at it with unenthused apathy.
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 15:18, Reply)

Is so slow I've resorted to memorizing the periodic table I have on my mousemat!
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 15:22, Reply)

is so slow that I might fuck off to the pub early!
Two weeks today and I'll be in Edinburgh! It can't come soon enough for me.
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 15:28, Reply)

Same here, in fact I think I'll be getting ready to go out on the drink.
It seams to have slipped my mind who with though!
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 15:32, Reply)

It's because you never leave the HSH threads, try looking around once in a while.
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 15:34, Reply)

Just because you have the attention span of a teenage mayfly on speed.

Same here.
Some people just can't understand the fact of a life outside of B3ta.

can be so mean sometimes.
I just meant that I'd like to see you all posting on other boards once in a while, or even just in other posts on OT.

We're not mean; we really like you.

Are you just bitter Bert because we don't post on your "everyone on HSH sucks ass" threads?
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 16:21, Reply)

You haven't strayed from here in so long that you don't even know I haven't done one of those in months!
You lot do get very pissy over silly little things though, I'm not having a go at you when I swear, I'm just trying to liven it up or change the subject.

pissy over little things that what unites us together.

but I want to see MOAR.
I liked your post on QOTW last week or the week before Teegee, but I think I missed it before the question closed. Aren't we friends?
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 16:36, Reply)

And we are friends, I'm not really sure why though :p
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 16:38, Reply)

I just checked, we are. I'm only your friend because of your boobies, and you're only my friend out of sympathy.
( , Fri 27 Mar 2009, 16:40, Reply)

My apathy has come to a head, my work is done, and I hear the call of dirty beer. I'm off to the pub for an end of week pint with the missus.

And mainly sympathy Bert. A little bit because of Hitlercock

TGB, you love the Hitlercock, don't you?
If I had the time, I'd turn him into a comic.

But then again I quite like cock full stop

OK, you want to send me to Brussels yet again, this time setting up a connection coming in from Luxembourg, fine. Can I just subtly suggest that it might be an idea to pay the fucking line rental on the fiber connection into Luxembourg so I have any chance of getting it working. At the very least how about telling me that their might be a problem before I book trains, hotels, etc.!
Fuckers!
Hopefully you've all had a better day than me.

and I was puzzled by some strangeness on the M40. Everyone was behaving themselves, and literally couldn't dive out of my way fast enough.
It's only now that I realised exactly what was happening. It seems that leaving my high vis jacket on top of my white shirt and dark tie, and driving a car that's favoured by her majesty's finest constabulary seems to make people panic a little.
*thinks*
I might have to wear my high-vis more often.
