Author	Topic: Star Wars Will Cost Me My Job...I Promise
Stellar Member	posted 09-15-1999 08:31 AM gundark I know what you mean. I am training one of my clerks to be a supervisor at a new store in the future and dreading the question, "So what do you do with the rest of your time?" I have certain duties that I have to do, but if you do them efficiently it doesn't take that long. I'm sure not gonna tell him I bring Star Wars books to work so I can read them while pretending I am working. Twi'lek Babe yeah we got sandblasted again. It rained enough to keep us home from our usual Tuesday night coffee gathering, but mostly it was that vicious dust storm like usual. I think Mesa got the worst of it, right along Power Road again. Probably poured out by my store. Remember that microburst a couple of weeks back? We were directly in its path. Pretty exciting weather, especially for here. IP: Logged

Sandfarmer IV Member	posted 09-15-1999 09:11 AM Good morning slackers. I won't be around much today. I have a lot of out of office stuff to do but, that means I can drop in Toys R Us and Target and check on new toys. Yippeee! Slack on. IP: Logged
Senator Binks2 Member	posted 09-15-1999 11:23 AM Academia be damned. Yup. I'm sitting at University sucking up library bandwidth and taking up valuable "computer space". It feels good. Good luck with the storm everyone, and MTFBWY gundark. I was also kind of training a new guy in the last week of work, and it was difficult to disguise my almost complete lack of progress. It's also tough because new employees tend to "care" a lot and are genuinely productive. Fortunately, they usually burn out. Good luck with Chemistry JS. I hated it, but since I'm an arts student I don't need to give a damn about that anyway. IP: Logged
Obi Two Member	posted 09-15-1999 11:30 AM What a week!!! I must slack, because my job has no official meaning any more. We are all going to get laid off (probably) but we are expected to keep working, as if!!!! Slack on all! IP: Logged
Hacienda51 Member	posted 09-15-1999 12:03 PM Hi slacklings! Slack on! Great stories, gundark and JediSoul. Way to slack! I still have to lie low here, but I'll be around as much as I can. IP: Logged
Obi Two Member	posted 09-15-1999 12:11 PM Poor Hacienda.... It seems like the great slacker purge has begun..... Sorta like the Jedi purge.... Coincidence? I think not! IP: Logged
Sandfarmer IV Member	posted 09-15-1999 01:54 PM I finally found that Adi Gaila figure. Yippee! IP: Logged
Obi Two Member	posted 09-15-1999 02:04 PM You go SF! Funking new figures! IP: Logged
gundark Member	posted 09-15-1999 04:34 PM so long slackers... see you tommorow providing Floyd doesn't shut us down... gundark out IP: Logged
Sandfarmer IV Member	posted 09-15-1999 04:38 PM Just a one day and one work hour away from Friday now, and we all know what day Friday is...Funk day. IP: Logged
Twi'lek Babe Member	posted 09-15-1999 05:08 PM Good afternoon, Slackeritaville! While not a true 'slacker story', Sandfarmer IV's enthusiasm for finding Adi Gallia made me chuckle as I remembered my shopping this past weekend. I went to an antiques store just up the road that has pop culture stuff, and LOTS of SW to be found, old and new. Saw Adi and Ki-Adi, and wanted them, but I'm such a slacker I didn't even have Darth Maul yet. So being short on funds, finally got Maul, and a robed Qui-Gon 'cause I just can't get enough. Had some fun setting them up on my desk here, as Qui comes with two lightsabers, so I gave the ignighted one to the un-robed Qui-Gon I already had so he can now face Maul with two blades!! Ha HAHH! Poor Obi stands there with only one blade...perhaps I'll find an un-robed version of him to steal his lightsaber from as well. Hell, half the fun with these guys is putting them in impossible settings, like letting Gonk drive the landspeeder.... Think we'll get another sandblaster tonight, Stellar? I remember that m-burst. Think summer will ever end? I'm starting to wonder! Acckkk, go I must, more slacking to be done elsewhere! IP: Logged
DarthNut Member	posted 09-15-1999 07:40 PM Ahhh, The smell of slack in the evening. IP: Logged
Darth Tater Member	posted 09-15-1999 08:01 PM Jedi Soul, why have I not seen you in my Imperial thread "The same old RAIN (Hah!) of terror is upon you! Cringe in fear!"? You slacker! Well, I know exactly what you mean daughter. I have a teacher who can hardly speak English and has the IQ of a toenail, so his class has already been deamed the place to sleep. We just get a seat facing the back of the room and IP: Logged
Obi Two Member	posted 09-15-1999 10:43 PM What the hell is this doing way down here? Damn slackers! Start slacking!!! IP: Logged
Jedi Soul Member	posted 09-16-1999 12:02 AM Guess what my grade in Chemistry is...? An A, 93%!!! Ha, ha! Half of my class is failing this course! We got our test back today and I got a 96% on it... The essence of slack is when you slack and get away with it... Life is good ... for now... IP: Logged
Sabé Member	posted 09-16-1999 04:51 AM So, are you all OK, with the hurricane ? (I'm following the news from France.) I know C Creepio is in the way - but that Orlando seems out of danger - who else is in the middle of it ? Hey, couldn't you choose a country without tornados, without hurricanes, and without towns who are supposed to be destroyed any other day ? But at least, you don't have time to get bored. Ha - thinking of it - you don't have any active volcano. We have one ! In Martinique, yes we do ! [This message has been edited by Sabé (edited 09-16-1999).] IP: Logged
Jedi Soul Member	posted 09-16-1999 06:28 AM Uh... Sabe? We DO have active volcanoes... Ever heard of Hawaii? We have one in Washington State too... Called Mt. St. Helen's. It "blasted into oblivion" in like 1980 or something and caused all this damage and death... IP: Logged
Sabé Member	posted 09-16-1999 06:38 AM Argh. (Sabé goes checking her books to find something else...) IP: Logged
Jedi Soul Member	posted 09-16-1999 06:50 AM DARTH TATER YOU MUST READ THIS... I was at a baseball game last night,(Indians vs. Boston Red Sox), and they were anouncing the starting line-ups. Well, they were announcing the Red Sox, and they started playing the Emperial March Theme from SW!!! Since you're from Boston and a Sith, I thought you'd like to know... IP: Logged
hew Member	posted 09-16-1999 07:07 AM Arrgghh! What's the point of being here at work? I know half the building isn't going to show up, and if the weather gets any worse, they'll shut it down and send us home anyway. Waste of time even coming in... IP: Logged
gundark Member	posted 09-16-1999 08:17 AM i can't fathom why they shut so much stuff down around here for a little wind and rain. i've had showers that were more torrential... anyway goodmorning salckers...one more day till FRIDAY oh yeah IP: Logged
DarthNut Member	posted 09-16-1999 08:58 AM Yes, School's been cancelled today. It's pouring here in New Jersey, but there not much wind. Slack on. IP: Logged
Hacienda51 Member	posted 09-16-1999 09:21 AM gundark-- you came to work too? Half of my office is out. Oh well, at least I don't have skool tonight! I think I'm gonna have some HoHo's for breakfast. IP: Logged
gundark Member	posted 09-16-1999 09:25 AM i'm only five minutes away from my job so unless a bomb falls on the buliding i'm expected to be there... it has it's benefits, i can go home for lunch, but i can never claim inclement weather for a day off... it's pathetic that so many places are closed. even one dip.... here was like i can't believe they made us come to work, i really really want to smack her. IP: Logged
C Creepio Member	posted 09-16-1999 09:29 AM Yeah. Nice hurricane. It rained for like 20 minutes Tuesday night and that was it. A total waste of a hurricane. We went outside yesterday to see if there was any damage...a pile of sticks in one corner of the parking lot, six leaves in the other. Total bust. A good game of laser tag would have done more damage. At least I got two...count 'em...TWO days off from work- WITH PAY! Now, my friends, THAT is slacking. Yes, yes. IP: Logged
Frink Junior Member	posted 09-16-1999 11:50 AM Ung-Hi! I went to your site, neato chat room but it doesn't work too well. It won't refresh. [This message has been edited by Frink (edited 09-16-1999).] IP: Logged
Obi Two Member	posted 09-16-1999 11:51 AM I'm glad to hear you survived Creepio. Now every one else has to make it.... I just need to watch out for earthquakes, but they are slightly harder to predict.... IP: Logged
Zinedine Zidane Member	posted 09-16-1999 12:51 PM Is this slacking???? Today in history class i went to sleep and dreamed I had a lightsaber and the force...and then proceded to go to a basketball game and decide the outcome using the force.....is that a form of slacking...sleeping in class dreaming of Star Wars related things?

Sandfarmer IV Member	posted 09-16-1999 01:11 PM Hi guys. Bye guys. Rough day. Full on funking tomorrow. IP: Logged
C Creepio Member	posted 09-16-1999 03:36 PM WRONG WRONG WRONG!!!!!! Not only was this thread near the bottom of the page-- it was near the bototm of the SECOND page. What is wrong with you people???? Are you actually doing something as horrid as work? This is disgraceful. It's time to ante up and kick in like slackers...like SLACKERS!! So, what have you all been doing? Playing solitaire? Well that may not be working but it sure as hell ain't slakcing! Get with the progrma or we're going to have to start cutting people from the team IP: Logged

Darth Tater Member	posted 09-16-1999 05:14 PM A NEW RAIN OF TERROR IS UPON YOU! CRINGE IN FEAR! Jedi Soul, you just made my day! It's starting to flood up here, and I have a feeling school will be out tomorrow. Yippee! Sincerely, Your Emperor IP: Logged
Hacienda51 Member	posted 09-16-1999 05:18 PM OK...hang on... We could do tributes to SW and slacking in gangsta rap Shakespearean drama sea shanties Barry-White-style luv songs limericks Lilith Fair folkie tunes I don't know...the wind and rain has addled my brain. (Hey, a little rap there from MC 900 Ft. Hacienda...) My Ric Olie fanfic dropped off of the SC... I don't know what we can do to jazz up the thread, but we need to catch on pretty quick! IP: Logged
DarthNut Member	posted 09-16-1999 05:36 PM I'm here, slacking away. Top. IP: Logged
ded Member	posted 09-16-1999 05:38 PM Hey, wait a minute, this is a slacking thread. We come here. We slack. If we get too organised it'll all just fall apart. How about we talk about lightsabers. Anything about them, in any way (but if people start saying they spend hours making ones out of drainpipe they should be put to death (we're slackers, i.e. we don't do work)). During the summer I went to Hamlies in London (v.big famous toy store) and bought myself and my girlfriend a double ended lightsaber each. We don't fight with them, however. Carn't be bothered. Also, I've had a week of school so far and have done no homework, and am writting with a lightsaber pencil! Slack on, people (but not too hard…) IP: Logged
Obi Two Member	posted 09-16-1999 05:40 PM D@mn, I can't think of anything funny or insightful to say. This sucks!!! I think my job is sucking the life out of me! No if it would only suck something else, hehehehe IP: Logged
RedHot5 Member	posted 09-16-1999 09:35 PM Second page?!?!? My, how the mighty have fallen. "THE SLACK WILL NEVER DIE!" IP: Logged
