No worries,mate.

That just proves you're the r-word (responsible). I wouldn't trust me either, but I have no problems with trusting either of you two.

**Takes the spliff and has a quick puff before passing it on**

No worries (copyright@Beldin) and thanks, Ode

... I think it's safe to assume at least you can trust *us*

Beldin:

**quickly finishes his turn on the spliff, hands it on, downs his drink and starts in the direction of his cabin**

C U , mates, I hope to be online more next week, but I gotta go now...I have so much to do and so little time ...

Bye !

Well that really depends on the level of experience of the help desk personnels. I chatted to some really smart and polite people but I've also "almost" gotten upset at a few individuals.

The classic case being when I tried to get the Internet connection up and running. They kept wanting my username, but I didn't have an IP so I didn't have a username. Third time we touched upon that subject, I asked for their supervisor or some more experienced person. A nice chap, fixed the problem straight away.

I guess the person in question was just having a bad day, it happens to te best of us

Luckily, at least Neverwinter Nights won't interfere with the Rolling Thunder TM... posting from work 'n all

)! ** SLURRs his pint of black beer **

Seeya Beldin.

Curious that there's no Georgeous around, she's normally shown up by now.

Heya Tam.

Greetings all, looks like I just missed Beldin.

As for NWN, damn you people.

Spent my money on those infernal text books.

Sorry, Tam

- here, have a drink! ** pours Tam a GIGGLE to cheer him up

@Ode: it'd be a first if Georgi would let us have the best of her... do you suppose she's fallen ill?

Ode to a Grasshopper · Fri Jul 05, 2002 6:30 am

I could technically afford NWN, but it'd leave me more or less broke, and I've got to buy SF2 Turbo and Mario World in a few weeks.

@Eerhardt-I don't know, it's not like her not to show up at all.

Hope she's okay.

Thanks Eery

Must bide my time, and then the game will be mine.

*Meaning I'll save my money and then buy it*

Ode to a Grasshopper · Fri Jul 05, 2002 6:36 am

That's my plan too @Tam. **Takes another puff on the spliff**

Besides, the first releases of a game are usually still a bit buggy... not having an internet connection at home can really be a problem then...

You could play it at work, although I'm not sure how your co-workers would react to it

They're too busy setting up a Quake LAN Party

** continues his SLURRing ways ** Seriously, they've been moved onto a project for the last 3 months and I've been alone at the Helldesk since.

Tamerlane · Post by **Tamerlane** » Fri Jul 05, 2002 6:54 am

We do that sometimes too. Nothing like doing a days worth of work in the last 15 minutes.

Ode to a Grasshopper · Fri Jul 05, 2002 6:56 am

So how come you're not involved @Eerhardt?

Awww, you're all concerned, that's so sweet.

Actually I had to help my brother take his computer to some repair place. And I'm just popping in before I go off for the weekend.

@Ode: I'm the only one with hands-on experience with the in-house products and since at least one man had to man the helpdesk, they chose me. From what I hear from my co-workers via e-mail, the project work isn't that great either (mainly system watching and learning operating commands - back-up stuff on tape,... that sort of thing) ** takes a hit on his spliff ** Hi, Georgious, you almost had us worried, there

Tamerlane · Post by **Tamerlane** » Fri Jul 05, 2002 7:02 am

Project sounds like the stuff we do, although we're allowed to get it wrong.

Damn, she got in before I could edit my posts!
