Sandfarmer IV Member	posted 09-09-1999 05:41 PM I fell like I have missed everything. My computer at the office is down again. Our whole network is still screwed and I can't get online. I had to resort to solitare ot keep the slack alive. At least now that I am home I have two buletin boards at my disposal. The slack is mighty indeed. Slack on my funk soul brothers and sistahs.

Twi'lek Babe Member	posted 09-09-1999 11:49 PM Goodeeeevening. I'm seriously considering staying up all night so I can slack to the extreme for a change. Tomorrow is Friday, and even if I don't go, will they miss me...hmmm... I think I will give in to the Slack, and let it control my actions tonight. Yup Stellar, it's Atomic! And the guys working there remembered me as the 'girl who bought Qui-Gon'. Cool!! IP: Logged
Senator Binks2 Member	posted 09-09-1999 11:52 PM Nice Tater... and Piett, I'm not sure anyone here's too familiar with the word "overtime".. () Personally, I'm going to be practicing the Jedi Mind Trick on my profs this year. Binks2: This mark is not high enough. Prof: This mark isn't high enough. Binks2: You WILL write me a letter of recommendation. Prof: Why don't I write you a letter of recommendation? Ahhh... academia.... IP: Logged
Stellar Member	posted 09-10-1999 12:44 AM No work today, but sadly I did not get to go to see TPM either. I forgot that when we have a holiday like Labor Day, for some reason our payroll department short circuits and they can't get us our paychecks on time. So, seeing as how movie theaters are not very understanding about things like no money, I did not go. However, I did finish the Illustrated Screenplay and I will start on The Making of...tomorrow. At work. Twi'lek Babe the Mesa location has moved into a bigger storefront, and some of the people in there are different, but most remember when I was trying to catch up on various Star Wars titles. We still go in from time to time. IP: Logged
dapper_bloke Member	posted 09-10-1999 06:03 AM good to see you lot have been busy in the Slacker Council... the website seems ok this morning - sorry if it was down last night - those are the kind of events that are way beyond my control - the pages are actually hosted by go.com and thay are usually very reliable... checkout the main page on the site anyway, as there is a special message there for a certain someone... http://welcome.to/swmcmmj there is also now a direct link to the chatroom and a link to the Slacker Council... Sabe - your party thread idea is a good one - you know the "Bashers" quite well, so please extend to them our warmest invitations... oh yeah, I almost forgot... IT'S FRIDAY...!!! woo hoo...!!! full ahead, Slack factor 10... IP: Logged
Hacienda51 Member	posted 09-10-1999 06:19 AM Since it's six a.m. and I am THE ONLY ONE IN THE BUILDING, I can slack freely! Not only that, I can be the first to post about the *First DC Area Slacker Convention* which basically consisted of me and gundark drinking Chuck during a rainstorm. However, we did have a TPM moment. We were walking down the street and I was yapping about figure skating when we came across an unfortunate Pizza Hut with the TPM promo materials still in the windows. We went in and harassed the staff about letting us have the stuff when the promo was finished. They, being the killjoys that they are, refused. Then, as we were walking away, gundark says, "do you think that guy [the manager] would chase me down the street if I went back and peeled those things off of the window?" We considered it for a few minutes...I said, "we might get arrested" and he said, "yeah, but we'd have a great slacker story for the thread..." They had a Palpy/Amidala that I wanted and a Mace/Yoda for gundark. Fascists! Happy Friday and slack on! IP: Logged
Jedi Soul Member	posted 09-10-1999 06:30 AM HAPPY 24th BIRTHDAY CREEPIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everybody go check out his birthday party thread !!!!!!!!! IP: Logged
dapper_bloke Member	posted 09-10-1999 06:37 AM good morning Hacienda and Jedi Soul - I'll be in the chat room in a few seconds... IP: Logged
Jedi Soul Member	posted 09-10-1999 06:38 AM Hey Dapper... I can't get into the website... IP: Logged
Senator Binks2 Member	posted 09-10-1999 07:14 AM Congrats on the night out, Hac and Gundark. Pizza Hut is the worst for that kind of thing. I tried to sweet-talk my way into one of their SW ties... but it was a total no go. Now Taco Bell, that's a franchise whose owners will sell you ANYTHING. Slack on, IP: Logged
Sabé Member	posted 09-10-1999 07:39 AM Hey, Dapper... I can't go to the chatroom. (Sorry, you're like our expert here... ) IP: Logged
JimJim Member	posted 09-10-1999 07:57 AM Darth Boss : "Jim, join me, we can rule the office as boss & employee" Jim : "I'LL NEVER JOIN YOU!" Darth Boss : "Jim, you must, it is your destiny." Where upon Jim dives out of the window. Luckily he survives by landing on some of his mates going to the pub, but must get a prostethic hand and construct a new mouse. May the slack be with you, always. IP: Logged
gundark Member	posted 09-10-1999 08:04 AM Good Morning Slackers ! (and a special Qui-Gon " good morning " to Hacienda today will be a day long remembered, we have seen the first slacker convention, and we have seen the birthday of our exalted leader... too bad i had this horrible nightmare last night where my slacking caused our companys enitre network to crash and i ha dto announce it was my fault that it happened over the intercom, telling everyone i surfed the star wars sites all day... scary stuff oh well, slack on IP: Logged
Hacienda51 Member	posted 09-10-1999 08:21 AM gundark: Make sure you rub my shoulder when you say it for that special QGJ magic. I personally drove my Death Star to the office this AM, aided by Ric Olie, of course. "You catch on pretty quick!" We should've helped ourselves to some of those free noodle thingeys BTW, happy bday Creepio! I'll hit your special festive thread. IP: Logged
Stellar Member	posted 09-10-1999 08:41 AM Good morning all! And Happy Birthday C Creepio! All of 24. eh? gundark that wouldn't be dream born of guilt for storing all your Star Wars related downloads on the company network would it? I don't know why I just remembered this, but I thought I would share it. When I was in 10th grade, we would have these vocabulary tests every week in English class. Part of the test was to come up with sentences using the vocahulary words in such a way that it was clear you understood what they meant. I would spend the week coming up with a sort of short story using the words, and the subject was always Star Wars. My teacher confessed toward the end of the school year that my papers were always the fun ones to grade, if a little monomaniacal. Just thought I would confess that to people who might understand. IP: Logged
gundark Member	posted 09-10-1999 08:45 AM oh it's guilt all right... i just realized my desktop calender is still on august, that's how little i've been working lately... sometimes i actually feel sorry for the people that are getting slighted by my slacking... whatever IP: Logged
Stellar Member	posted 09-10-1999 09:03 AM No need to feel too sorry for them, gundark. They would slack, too, if they only knew how! Perhaps you should teach them...nah. Too much like work. IP: Logged
Stellar Member	posted 09-10-1999 09:14 AM sigh Almost time for me to head out and do that work thing. Don't work at all if you can help it! And do a bit of extra slack (is that possible?) for me! I wasn't able to get the chat to work this morning. Is there something wrong, or is my computer being its usual uncooperative self? IP: Logged
Sandfarmer IV Member	posted 09-10-1999 09:14 AM Good morning. I finally got my computer back here at work but I looks like I will be out of the office a lot today. Oh, well. I just can't win lately. Happy b-day C Creepio! I have kind of been a missing slacker for the past few weeks. There was that nasty business and then the network at my office died but hopefully I will beack to my old Sandfarming self soon. Speaking of missing slackers... has anyone seen QASM or AmyAimeeAmmy? I have not seen QASM in forever and she was one of the more frequent slackers back in the early days. Slack, like you've never slacked...before. IP: Logged
dapper_bloke Member	posted 09-10-1999 09:22 AM phew - back from a three hour lunchbreak at the pub... I am a little concerned that some of you can't get into the website/chatroom... what kind of error messages are you getting...? IP: Logged
C Creepio Member	posted 09-10-1999 09:41 AM INT. THE COCKPIT - PARKING LOT Creepio & gundark stand in the cockpit of their approaching Corporate Cruiser, overlooking the parking lot. There are two officers driving them. CREEPIO Captain. CAPTAIN Yes, sir? CREEPIO Tell them we wish to slack at once. CAPTAIN Right away. With all due respect, the employees of the Supreme Corporation wish slack immediately. BOSS NUTE Yes, of course. As you know, your slacking is perfectly legal and I would be happy to give you the rest of the day off. The Corporate Cruiser parks and Creepio & gundark step out and stroll towards the front entrance. GUNDARK I have a bad feeling about this. CREEPIO I don't sense anything. Actually, I'm a slacker, which means I don't DO anything. GUNDARK It's not about the board meeting, Master. It's something elsewhere...elusive. CREEPIO Don't center on your job, gundark, keep your mind and thoughts on the distant and never, where they belong. GUNDARK But Master Homer said I should be mindful of my employment. CREEPIO But not at the expense of your stress level. Be mindful of the living Slack, young Slackawan. GUNDARK Yes, Master. They reach the doors to their office building and pause before they enter. GUNDARK How do you think our coworkers will deal with our boss's demands? CREEPIO Our coworker types are cowards. Their slacking will be short. IP: Logged
Hacienda51 Member	posted 09-10-1999 09:58 AM Ha ha! dapper-- the chat was being a pain in the @ss and I can't post anything on the BB Whine whine whine. IP: Logged
Sandfarmer IV Member	posted 09-10-1999 10:04 AM Bwwwahhhhhh hhhhaaaaaa. Heh heh. Heh. Slack on Master Creepio. It's friday. Time to party. Where is that funk thread when I need it? I'll just be over here...laying down the funk. IP: Logged
Twi'lek Babe Member	posted 09-10-1999 10:19 AM Happy B-Day Creepio! I couldn't get into the chat last night either, thought maybe my R2 unit had a bad motivator or something. Will try again tonight. Bummer Stellar! I plan to take in my seventh viewing this weekend, if all goes well. If not, maybe I'll drop ya a line..I'll pay! Just need a transport to get to the theater. BTW, 'Making Of' is great! I like the concept art and the changes characters and vehicles went thru. Gotta run before my ride leaves me. Slack on all! IP: Logged
hew Member	posted 09-10-1999 10:36 AM Wheeeeeeeee! The group I fall under here at work is being moved over to the building next door. The fools decided to give me my own office, with walls and everything! No more cubicle for me!! I will be slacking even harder and longer come the end of the month! IP: Logged
C Creepio Member	posted 09-10-1999 10:59 AM Let me tell you about my Star Wars Birthdya party at work!! They call me over, where there is a cake waiting. Of course, it's a Star Wars cake with a little Anakin figurine running across the grass (like that shot near the end of TPM). Then I have a card, which wasn't Star Wars, but everyone signed it with the magic phrase "May the Force Be With You." They even gave me a present! They never give presents at these little birthday bashes. It was the Sebulba/ Anakin Taco Bell poster- which I don't have! Nice. One anti-Star Wars lady showed the poster to our president and said, "Can you imagine him bringing a girl home and having her see THIS?" I said, "Hey, if she doesn't like it, she's out." My boss smiled and nodded his head- respecting my SW geekery. And my boss, insead of saying happy B-day said, "MTFBWY" IP: Logged
gundark Member	posted 09-10-1999 11:01 AM Cool ! know what my job did for my birthday ? nothing... IP: Logged
dapper_bloke Member	posted 09-10-1999 11:03 AM Creepio - sounds like you are really spreading the good word at work... office collegues converted to Star Wars without them realising - I love it...!!! IP: Logged
