Msgboard Chatroom Marathon

Sunday, January 27, 2002 by Elfkura | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Honestly, I would go to IRC for this kind of stuff, but if any of you have been there recently, everyone seems to be...inactive. Sooooooooo, out of boredom, I'm turning a thread among this msgboard into a chat room, anyone care to join? =P.

It's Sunday night, and I'm bored out of my mind. There's much to do, but I'm too lazy to get around to do it. My boyfriend is busying trying to get Visual Studios to work so I can't talk to him on the phone....and we can't seem to talk over the phone anyways...it'll just be silence mostly.

New Semester started........so anyone alive out there to join Elffie in this chat marathon? =P

Let's try not to let this post hang for over 2 hours, hm? =P

Feline, too bad you don't live here and work for Stardock.  We seem to be the total opposite of where you work.

Sorry that this has happened.  It must be a real pain to resolve something that should have been designed from the beginning.

<<<HUGS>>>

feline: ****Hugs*****

goodmorphing tries to list some 'on the bright side' points....

*Now they know that they were foolish not to listen to you. That means that they should question their overall behavior towards you (but I don't know if they are bright enough).

*The new manager now should question everything else that the old one told her so other problems should resolve (but I don't know if they are fair enough)

*You get lots and lots and lots of hugs from us!

*I am volunteering fuzzy for a spankfest!

Just remember you are not too old to go over my knee

Fuzzy Logic is not afraid to dish out a good spanking where needed...

feline, sigh, I'm afraid the fate of every IT dept is to be not heard, not seen, not funded, etc.

Over the last two years we have had a bespoke intranet developed by an outside "consultant" (the commas are there for a reason...). All along I said this guy was a waste of space and was customizing everything to such an extent only he could support the system. I was told to back off because I was 'getting noticed'. Ok...does it work... dunno, never been invited to have a closer look.

It has now been decided the system doesn't work ( ) and something more professional is required. Now there are two of us running IT. I am PC manager (servers, PCs and network etc) and my collegue is IT Systems Manager (A/S400). A new system, cost £25000, has been purchased. What do we know of this? Well, I passed one of the salesman in the corridor once - my collegue has even less involment...

I have to be quiet now because I'm supposed to keep my stress levels to a minimum. However, the first time anyone comes to me and says 'we have a problem' my answer will only have two words...

Fuzzy Logic is going to bed.
Fuzzy Logic is on holiday this week and is supposed to be resting
Fuzzy Logic is getting wound up...

feline, the only advice I have to offer is when you speak to a Manager treat them with the contempt they deserve. The only annoying part of that is they haven't the intelligence to understand the insult...

....you could also point out to them that they aren't getting nearly the amount of ***TICKLES******SPANKS**** that they could because they are so obtuse and cold and dimly lit.

You could tell them that I ate their key to the chocolate planet already....

YOu could tell them that OC has his doors and windows far above their viewpoints.

You could remind them that they will never swim in the java lake with KG.

You could even tell them that though I volunteered fuzzy for a spankfest in your honor.... that is something they will never enjoy...

and tell them this....

********RASPBERRRRRRY*********
...tell them up close so it splashes good!

Fuzzy Logic ***BIG YAWN***

I'm awake but still tired...zzzzzz

Yesterday was a good day. I rode my bike somewhere I thought I'd never go again. One of my short evening runs, one I used to do after work, is only 10 miles - but it's 50% off road and uphill all the way there climbing to 1500ft. Yesterday afternoon I took on the challenge. It was probably the toughest bike ride I've ever had but I made it all the way

The uphill climb left me with knees like jelly and the fast rocky downhill left me with sore ribs but it felt good. As they say, no pain no gain...

Question is, am I too tired to dish out the spanking GM is asking for? Nah...

***SPANK*** ***SPANK*** ***SPANK*** ***SPANK*** ***SPANK*** ***SPANK*** ***SPANK***

There. Six of the best plus one for luck

I will be gone for awhile.  On Monday I go in for a total thyroidectomy.  My $&*%@#& thyroid has been trying to kill me for 13 years, and Monday is finally the day of reckoning.  Tomorrow will be really crazy at work (I will be gone from work for 2 weeks) and I'm spending this weekend with the family, so I thought that I would post this now.  Luckily, I will only be in the hospital for a maximum of two days (most likely it will only be one night, though) so I will get to recover at home.

I'm not sure how long I will be offline.  I'm sure I will go stir crazy within the first week and be posting while in bed.  (I have wireless at home, so I'm all set!)

Take care of yourselves and keep up the spanks and tickles while I'm gone!!!

Hi! Hi!

I will leave you with smileys by Maddie:

Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi! Hi!

awwwwwwwwwwwwwww KG (((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))

If it is any consolation, I had the same not long ago. These days they can accomplish it with no incision to speak of.... maybe I will email the details. I was down for a short time (and that only because they insisted on giving me codeine and I am allergic... the itching from that is my worst memories, since I don't really have a scar).

Those thyroids are temperamental beasts, and these days the docs can emulate them quite well!

My thoughts and prayers will be with you... Godspeed!

I've already had thyroid surgery once.  This is the second time, so it is much more complicated than the first.  I also grow keloid scar tissue, so i never get a small scar.  It will require steroid injections to keep the scar at bay if it reacts like it did the last time.  Unfortunately, I am no stranger to all this.  (I have been on Synthroid since I was 17).

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

Oh my... goodmorphing goes to take her contacts out and sharpen them.... I read that wrong. I am soooo sorry. I hope you get lots of peace and quiet and nice time with your family. I wish they could do your surgery the way they did mine... just with flexible microscopes and suction.

Keyloids are rough...

My thoughts will be with you!

Um.... just so you know, feline's work has 'exiled' him from the internet and his home comp seems to get worse all the time. He will check in when he can....

(((((((ANOTHER HUGS)))))) is there anything we can do?

KG: Hope everything goes well for you. Lots of chocolate, hugs and snuggles just for you. If you can find your way here there's usually at least one of us around to keep you company, except for poor feline who seems to be lost in the PC pit of despair.

Get well soon. I shall be thinking of you ***SMOOCH***

Thanks for all the kind words.

GM, I am sorry that I sounded harsh last night, I really didn't mean to.  I re-read what I posted and it really didn't sound like me.  I guess the stress has gotten the best of me.

I'll check back in and let you know I'm still alive after surgery.

KG... the day I ever thought you were sounding harsh, I would go and take a nap because I would know I was sensing things wrong. It's tough to think about surgery, especially a repeat. And the older one gets, the tougher it seems. We do, after all, tend to get attached to all our parts stronger and stronger through the years. ((((((HUGS)))))))) Don't you worry... OK?

KarmaGirl - I will be gone for awhile. On Monday I go in for a total thyroidectomy.


*deep sigh*
on one paw, our beloved JavaBean is going to be gone for a while
on the other paw, they are going to make her all better!!!

JavaBean, if you read this before you go in for surgery, you are going in with all the best wishes, love, support and friendship what i can muster!!! and that is a lot!!!

feline doesnt really like visits to hospitals

when i have been there, i always seem to feel ill! *slightly confused expression*

however, the key thing about hospitals is that they returned our dear fuzzy logic to us vastly improved, and soon JavaBean will be all better to!

JavaBean, during your two weeks off work, try and relax, and bask in the love, friendship and warmth of your family! if i hear you have been thinking about work, or getting stressed up, i am going to have to *SPANK* and *TICKLE* you until you beg for mercy, and promise to be a good girl in future!!!

why is it so quiet in here???

feline gets dragged away from the net by the evil curse on my main machine, and suddenly it is all quiet in here!

this is strange.

since JavaBean is going to be going into hospital, we need to think of something special for when she comes out!

so, i was wondering, can you make bandages out of chocolate? i think that to be on the safe side we are going to need to bandage JavaBean from head to food! after all, she is both important and precious to us, so we need to make sure that she receives the best possible care!

this has the twin bonus's that we can kiss any sore bits better (they will be all chocolatey!!! *yummy*), and JavaBean can be sure that she looks totally delectable even while tired, sore, and still healing! i mean, covered in chocolate!!! surely it doesnt get much better than that does it???
