I can smoke when I want and where I want. I can have a beer when I want. I can eat lunch whenever.

And best of all no annoying ppl coming into my cubicle asking me how's it going and 'Am I interrupting you?'. Well duh, I was working you came in and now I am not working, nahhh thats not an interuption. hehe

Truth is I am sitting down watching cartoons surfing the web and dont plan on working at all today.......:D

Man, I used to and still can work from home...but I don't like it. I never got enough done (probably cause I could sit around in my underwear, eating Doritos and watching cartoons all day) and once my bosses realized I could work from home...they expected me to.

You know how it goes. Deadline is approaching, 5:30 or 6:00 is rolling around (you've been there since 7AM) boss is shuffling for the door asking if you're done yet....you say "no but I'll get it tomorrow" as you're packing up and he tosses you this look like "well you CAN finish it later at home you know". Used to piss me off to no end....the friggin' guilt thing.

Man, when I'm at home I am NOT there to do even more work. I want to forget the crap of the day at my office and do relaxing things....eat dinner with the family, play with the kids, help the boy with his homework, catch a little TV, hop on the computer and kick the living crap out of Dietrich and Xavier for owning my ass last night...oh wait...that's what I'm doing tonight. :D

Anyway, yer welcome to the work-at-home gig. I suppose if I had a cubicle I'd have more sympathy. But I have walls...and a door...and just one desk...and a window...looking out over oak trees...with squirrels....and birds....singing and chirping...much like they do when you're all quiet and camping...along that overgrown path to the backside of the cemetary on The Hunt...trying not to be discovered...because yer the last survivor on yer team...a team that tried their idiot damndest to kill me with FF grenades but only succeeded in killing themselves leaving me all by my lonesome...against #$@%&* Dietrich and #$@%&! XavierD who've owned my ass for the past 28 straight rounds!!!....and uh...er....um....never mind.

Yeah, working from home can be a bitch. :D

I almost spewed doritos.....

Actually working form home for me is not the norm. I use the time to sit and just code. It helps me focus and get scripts done. I dont do it too much but it helps sometimes.

Lifes a beach......

That's some funny shit Euro. Like Dietrich said "That will teach you to be on the wrong team."
I suppose you're talking about Omaha Beach. I think my last 4 or 5 kills were you trying to get through the door and up those stairs. Next time bring back up. :D
At least you tried. :)

Hmm...that sounds like a challenge Euro :) I'm game if you are :cool:

I'm down for a little competition. Me and Dietrich vs. TC and Euro... I'm game if Dietrich is.:)
I don't suppose there is a way to lock out the server for these types of matches.

Challenge? Doesn't the word "challenge" by definition imply something challenging? :D

In case anyone missed it:
hop on the computer and kick the living crap out of Dietrich and Xavier for owning my ass last night...oh wait...that's what I'm doing tonight
I'm already gearing up. I have (another last night reference coming up here) "The Console" on my side. I cannot lose.

(Cue the music...) (http://www.docmaestro.com/images/starwars.wav)

Darth Dietrich and XavXav Binks cannot stop me.
I am Fluke Guystalker, Red-Eye Fright...and I am a master of "The Console". The Console surrounds us...and binds us. It is in the Tree, the rock, the spaceship, and especially my right boot as I lodge it firmly in yer evil ass.

Feel The Console, baby. :D

LOL... Alright, it's on now. My only goal tonight is to hunt you down. I'll show you where you can put your silly Console.:eek:
XavXav Binks ?? Why do I have to be the dumb, ugly one that no one likes? :(
You have crossed me for the last time Euro, you will feel my wrath... Oh yeah and Dietrich here is gonna show you the business end of his rocket launcher.
Cheers :D

Uh...XavXav...I won't be "feeling your wrath" or Dietrich's "rocket launcher" cause I just don't swing that way.

Naturally I'll be pleased to disabuse you of this disturbing, double-speak, homoerotic imagery phase. It's just so wrong. :D

Well, I was. But now it seems to have spiralled freakishly out of control, hasn't it?

Imagine that...with me here to keep it on the straight and narrow. :D

I'm bringing my pistol. Once thing I noticed when I watched saving private ryan last night. No shotguns. Mostly M1 Garands, a few Thompsons (officers), a Bar or two...damn those are big. And a machine gun that isn't in the game at all. One biggie that I missed is the flame thrower....awe man would that be sweet :)

Dark Star
04-24-2002, 05:21 PM
Yeah there are no shotties in saving private ryan....of course you will have to pry Euro's shotgun out of his cold dead hands because I think it is one with his body :D

If I can give up the RL you can give up the shotgun....its just like quitting smoking only much harder Im sure :D

Then after we break you guys of that bad habit we can work on making you stop putting the Germans in scientist/winter uniforms ;)

There is a cheat out there, it's called the aimbot. I know someone on ANOTHER team that is using it. Hmmm I think they play on the TWL ladder also.

Doesnt it suck that the cheats come out so quickly. If the cheaters put as much focus on playing the game they wouldnt have to cheat.....

I havent run into anyone with an aimbot cheat yet. Of course many people figure if you are good with a rifle that you must be cheating.
