Good morning everyone. Hey Jedi Soul.***IMPORTANT MESSAGE*** My computer at home is crashed and I have not got it working yet. It is beginning to look like I have lost a lot of stuff including three scripts I was working on and a ton of audio software and wave files for my bands that I will have to re-download and write new wave files and mp3's for. I hope to get it straightened out soon (without paying anyone) but in the meantime, if anyone has sent me email since last Friday morning and I have not replied, well you know why now. I probably have lost everyone's email addresses and I don't have ICQ until I can get my computer going again. (I can't get windows to start. Bill Gates must die.) So to RedHot5 and all my other ICQ pals, don't forget me, I'll be back for those late night chats soon. I hope... Slack on. IP: Logged |

Well, that's not good news... Yes, let's hang Bill Gates, always a good idea. Do you want us to e-mail you so you can have the address again or shall we wait till you've got everything working again ? IP: Logged |

Intimations from meditations upon the Slack:I don't want to work. I don't even want to bang on me drum all day. I just seek Nirslackna. The Way is in timing. Are you doing your job? Or is your job doing you? Mmmm -- difficult to see, the Work side, is.

Even worse, last year about 2 weeks before finals my computer crashed killing my StarCraft campaign. In the following week, I slaved over the computer re-beating the entire game just because I couldn't stand not being able to play all of my favorite levels and cutscenes again. Talk about obsessed... I missed meals over that damn game.GMJ IP: Logged |

Looking at C Creepio as Jas Ki-Mundi, Hataddle, BoB Windu and the other members of the Council look on. "I do not presume..""You do!" YoSlack interrupted. "Revealed your opinion is!" "I request this thread be tested. Finding it was the will of the Slack. I have no doubt of that." [This message has been edited by Crystena77 (edited 10-05-1999).] IP: Logged |

Lieutenant Piett was that a dune quote I smelled. That which can kill a thing controls a thing? You must do more!!! Hey RedHot Nice slacking you did for the night shift. Truely a slack of art. Hacienda I tried to get our pictures loaded but my camera has given me some technical difficulties. Still trying though. Jedi Soul We hope that you may be able to return back to us soon. The Slack is not the same without you! AAA welcome back. It really stinks that they are monitering chat rooms and stuff at your job. Id start considering a new feild of work if they monirtored or denied my surfing through the web. Sandfarmer you must have faith that your computer has not turned completely against you. In the mean time I hope you retrieve everything back safely. Id be a nervous reck if I lost the project that Im working on right now. A complete reck. Gundark How is the campaign going? Are we slinging mud yet? Have we an intern yet? Im sure if we had an intern the votes would certainly turn our way. C Creepio ahhh. Hmmm? What to say to you? Oh yes. Greetings and Salutations Oh Master Slacker Creepio. I hope the slack is strong with you today. Crytena I see now that you are a perminent member of our ranks. Welcome, within a few days you shall recieve you Slacksaber and an office. You must not do any work in that office. Its forbiden. you hear FORBIDEN!!! If you disobey this one act... Nothing will happen to you. No one here is going to get up and judge. Too much work involved... YUK.. Well that's all folks.
