Star Wars home story/costume drama: The efforts towards the Amidala costume continue...went to Target and couldn't find a red bathrobe, so I bought a white one and attempted to dye it red last night in the bathtub. Well, now it's hot pink, my shower looks like it belongs in the Bates Motel, and until I washed my hair this morning, my hands looked like Lady Macbeth's. Tonight we're supposed to finish the costume and I have a hot pink robe to work with. Suggestions?

I'm a summer-intern too, and I don't know what I'll do come September. Let's be honest, this site is part of my everyday routine now. I don't think I can break away.

Dammit, I'm staying. I'm in here for the long haul to EP:III. (And I'm looking forward to it, too).

I'm soooooo sorry I've been slacking on slacking. I just haven't had time to post. Next week I'm off the whole week, so I'll be on here 24/7! I hope you'll forgive me for not being the best slacker I can be... maybe these pics will help...

*C Creepio lets out a DEEP sigh of relief*

I was inches from being totally busted. The reason I wasn’t was because, yes, I was doing work. For that five minute window of work, the net was not up at all. Well, I was walking back to my desk and the internet guru guy ambushed me. He said. “When you log onto the internet….”

I froze and we both knew why.

“….do you get that little message box?”

I felt weird because I wasn’t sure if it was a trick. I said, “Sometimes.”

“Let’s take a look,” he said. Thank God the page wasn’t up because he logged onto the internet for me and monkeyed around until he fixed whatever he was fixing. Then he closed it and saw my Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, Amidala, R2 entering the hanger- gunz blazin’- wallpaper. I said, “Like the wall paper?” He let out an enthusiastic, “Yeah! I love it!”

Hence, my deep sigh of relief….

By the way, I’m leading a small band of TPM Ignorants to their first ever viewing after work. They want to go drinking before. I said no. Alcohol and SW do not mix, unless you’re playing the SW drinking game, which you can’t because you can’t drink in the theater. Right??

Oh, it's just the air-raid sirens. First Friday of every month at noon exactly, they're tested, filling the air with warbling scream. Lovely.

Speaking of the Hitchhiker books, there's a bit from 'So Long and Thanks for All The Fish,' (I think) where they explain how the Guide itself is the result of one enormous lunch break. The theory is, the actual employees go on lunch breaks that last for years and the hitchhikers, glad to contribute to the Hitchhiker's Guide, do all the work. The last CEO of the company hasn't shown up for work for ten years, and Everyone assumes he's out for an extended lunch break. There's even a sign on his desk saying 'Missing, Presumed Fed.'

Now that's slacking!

While I was typing my last entry, my boss (my real boss, the entity known only as 'Vicki') called for me. I didn't hear her and she had to yell three or four times until I heard her. I, thanking Eternity that she was out of sight, minimized my beloved Netscape and went before her, dread in my heart. I had been caught slacking. Now my failure is complete.

So I thought. "What'd I do?" I squeaked.

"There's a telephone call for you on my line."

"On your line?" Oh, bad, bad, very bad. I went into her office, picked up the reciever, and with trembling fingers hit the proper button.

"Hello?"

Turns out it was my mother! My mother called my boss! And for what? To ask if I'd like to have supper with her and my aunt and uncle! I slunk out of the office with my hands over my face. Great God, that was embarrassing! I had to come straight here and slack for a moment to get my equilibrium back.

C Creepio scores a major prequel-related win at work. This lady went to Taco Bell and came back with the Darth Vader- Anakin bank. If you shake it, the face changes from one to the other as your change falls into the cargo hold.

I went over to talk to her and we b.s.'d for a few moments (me - acting like I don't notice the little bank) Then I looked at it and asked if she just bought it. She said yes.
Then, I was totally blunt. I said, "Can I have it?"

She was horrified and she said no! Her reasoning was that I didn't know how to use it.

"The hell I don't. Watch this." I took it out of the package and with near perfection, got the faces to change time after time. She showed me where to put the money in (which I already knew) Then I said, "well?" and she was reluctant....but it's on my desk as we speak.

(Along with the rest of her nachos)

But I still want to be a slacker! Can I? I know I'm coming late to this, but really - I HAVE been slacking at work since January, when my new year's resolution was to slack off the whole year. Reason y'all haven't heard from me sooner is that I have just since discovered this forum.

What WAS I doing before I came here, you ask? Well, I slacked by emailing everyone and their mother. But no more. From now on, I shall devote all my slackability to this forum. Thank goodness for my great typing ability; my boss who's one office away from me thinks I'm hard at work whenever she hears the clickity-click of the keyboard.

BTW, thank you Sabe for bringing me to this slacker corner. I found out about it while perusing your terrific love triangle vote thread in the P:SA forum.
