I wonder if this new job's worth it, so far all I've accomplished is:

1) check the serial numbers of product in their 'warehouse'
2) rearrange said boxes of product in their said warehouse
3) retag all boxes with new labels in their said warehouse
4) clean up a spilled pot on their front lawn
5) watch the techs fix servers and printers whose components are older than
all the techs combined

About the only tech related work I've done is test 4 (count 'em) old Wyse
terminals and pack some old tape drives for RMA, and that last task was
only today... for $16/hr, that's some mighty expensive clean up work they're
having me do

Anything that turns off the brain for a half-way decent amount of time pls barkeep

I just heard that I have been Commisioned into a 2nd Lieutenant!!!

The only thing more dangerous than a private is a 2nd LT with an idea.

Nope, No sucking Up needed!!!

I am one of the only few officers that actually worked for their rank. We got the rank because of Testing, and we got 1st place in the district. Also I run one of the Best companies in the whole Battalion and won multiple Company of the months, Squad of the months, and my company has the most cadet of the Month. And I made a Mistake. I've spoken to my Battalion Commander, looks like I'll be a 1st Lt...

@CPOK

Thanks!

I say SL pays for all the drinks.

Now he gets to be the butt of all our 2nd lt Army jokes. *snickers*

every solider or sailor knows that 2nd Lt (Ensigns) are cannon fodder. why do you think they give them shiny gold bars? Makes a better target in a sniper scope.

Congo rats, SL. Hopefully you'll be a 1st louie soon.

Just to let you know, Lubbock, Texas is a desert.
Freaking dry. dusty, and windy.

Whenever I think of a 2lt... I think of Lieutenant the Honourable George Colthurst Saint Bartleigh for some reason.

I'll have one of those various concoctions you leave under the ammunition rack for the old 180mm shells.

HELLFIRE · Post by **HELLFIRE** » Sat May 13, 2006 2:52 am

Spent today setting up my own box to use at my desk... and I got
full payment on the hours I worked this week, which ain't too bad. Why
do I get the sense the minute I cash the check it's gonna bounce on me?

Forget the weather, how are the job prospects and the women down there?

I made a Mistake, I got to 1Lt. The awsome part about this is, we also got a Bunch of Sergeants. Finally I can Sit down and bark orders.

And yes I will pay for the drinks.

anyway Lets get the Lt jokes out of the way

During training exercises, the lieutenant driving down a muddy back road encountered another Jeep stuck in the mud with a red faced colonel at the wheel.
"Your jeep stuck, sir?" asked the lieutenant as he pulled alongside.
"Nope," replied the colonel, coming over and handing him the keys, "Yours is."

**************

Four people are riding in a small passenger car compartment on a long train ride cross country. On one seat, a young, beautiful lady sits next to her grandmother. Across from them, an Army general sits next to his young lieutenant.

The train enters a long, dark tunnel. Suddenly, in the darkness, there is the sound of a kiss followed by a slap! The train exits the tunnel and the four people in the passenger compartment look at each other. Without saying a word, each of them thinks they know what has just happened.

The young lady is surprised, but very happy that the young lieutenant waited for an appropriate moment to kiss her, but she can't understand why her grandmother slapped him.

The grandmother is shocked that the young lieutenant would try to kiss her granddaughter, but she is happy that her granddaughter slapped him.

The General was pleased that his young lieutenant had waited for an appropriate moment to kiss the young lady because he could see they liked each other. However, he couldn't understand why the grandmother had slapped him.

Meanwhile, the young lieutenant sat in his seat, feeling very good about himself. Not only had he found a way to kiss the pretty young lady sitting across from him, but he had also managed to slap his general at the same time!

Well Tau *IS* our God for all intents and purposes over here.

Just that the Dictator is God's boss.

Whoo...

1. Work sucks, but I get the next week off due to a decision to move the office to someplace bigger, better, and more spacious. And it's across the street from the old place so I probably won't get lost on the way.

2. Finally finished off a D&D campaign we've been running for the past 2 years. My character was the only survivour of the last bout, so I'm the only one who doesnt have to roll up a new campaign for the epic level modules.
