Lord allmighty! Another happy customer and my average call time goes down the toilet!

Heli - you should work here... nice and cool. You'll have to by a bunch of sweaters though,

Damn! if these were wooden chairs I would build a fire in the aisle. The ice is making my keyboard stick.

ED - we should combine camps. Then it would be The Naked Espresso And Bar Camp.

Here, Boxy, somethin alcoholic and fiery. Glad to hear about the truck.

Thanks Bin. I am sure glad to get it back. Now I still need to get a new rim. I have a tire but the the old spare rim is damaged. Also now I will be able to get the supplies I need to make the wheel of booze.

Box, what's up with the igloo and cold talk? You got something special going on? (and are you accepting houseguests?)

Yo SED, 'sup?

Hi Xta!

The place I work at keeps the temperature way down, so I am cold.

SED · Post by **SED** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 12:12 am

It's a Jewish thing.

Xta_G · Post by **Xta_G** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 12:15 am

Aah... air conditioning :) Twould be lovely....

Hm.. none of my Jewish friends have ever mentioned such a thing... and I've been hanging with pretty observant Jews (and non-observant Israelis) ... So, rilly?

There's a similar ritual involving bacon and the Easter Bunny. Most Jews don't like to talk about it . . .

Box Burner · Post by **Box Burner** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 12:20 am

Sed - Are (or were) you jewish? Doesn't matter, just curious.

Xta_G · Post by **Xta_G** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 12:22 am

LOL

I really miss the bacon-and-easter-egg breakfasts :)

Not exactly. As with all call centers there is a room called the Fish Bowl. It houses the servers needed to connect 800 computers to the internet. Theses servers run hot so the room is kept at a lower temperature. Well the bozos who built this building put only one air system with one contoller and it is in the fish bowl. So the servers keep nice and cool but hte humans freeze. I think TITWI used to work in a fish bowl.

Hi DD - I just got off work. How are you doing?

Xta - the reason for the igloo icon (bsides the fact that it is cold here

) is that it shows that I am at work and may not be able to respond to a post because it got busy and I had a call or several calls come in.

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 12:33 am

I just got back from Black Rock.

Box Burner · Post by **Box Burner** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 12:35 am

have you been working on the man?

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 12:38 am

Well, for the Man, anyway. Does that count?

Box Burner · Post by **Box Burner** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 12:39 am

Close enough for me. How is it out there?

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 12:42 am

Hot in places, muddy in places. The whole thing (my weekend) deserves a story. If I disappear for a while, that's why.

Box Burner · Post by **Box Burner** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 12:44 am

Are you still using that laptop?

Here is something to cool down with...

Box Burner · Post by **Box Burner** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 12:54 am

Well DD, I only slept 2 hours last night. I am too tired to put in any OT tonight. So I am going to head home and get some sleep so I can work some OT tomorrow. The repair on the car ate up my travel money so I have to make it up.

Desert Duck · Post by **Desert Duck** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 12:57 am

So, I realized that if I tried to tell the whole story, I'd probably get bumped before I was through and would lose the post, so I'm gonna write it as a word doc and copy here later-say, tomorrow sometime. Meantime, I'm whipped. Tell everybody I said the Playa is as spectacular as ever, and the Hot Springs rocked!! Night all.

Duck out.

Xta_G · Post by **Xta_G** » Tue Jul 25, 2006 12:59 am

Yick, work (and drive!) with care, Box.. do you need a touque? :) I can bring one to the playa for you, and then you can add a bit of dust to it, and wear it in your cooooold room :)

Ducky! Was just thinking about you and chicken while walking home tonight (stopped in at Church's Chicken to grab a nibble for the 6 blocks from the busstop, but just got BAD corn on the cob and GOOD buns, no atual chicken)...
