Stuff to do while I'm supposed to be working.

Mr.Anon.E.Mouse · 08-10-2005, 01:24 PM

So I sit at a computer all day, performing my job well enough to get accolades from those that matter, and I still have loads of time on my hands. I'm slowly coming up to speed here at The Cellar, and I've run out of porn and stupid movies to look at. Got any suggestions on what else I could do to while away the hours?

I'm a big fan of minesweeper.

(we have a no software install rule at work, so my options are limited.)

Ok, this is sad... I don't know how to play Minesweeper.

it is annoyingly addictive for a time.

the cellar is great, and it should speed up a little as we head into fall. to keep you busy i would suggest that you pick a topic, any topic really. research this topic until you reach a well thought out opinion and then post about said topic. shortly tw will come along to tell you why you are wrong and how exactly this is the fault of GWB and MBA's. it is really pretty fun once you get the hang of it.

I'm secretly plotting a topic that'll invoke the wrath of marichiko!

well, a year ago you could have used something along the lines of welfare, but apparently that doesn't work today.

1.) Click on a random square. A number will appear.
2.) This number indicates how many "mines" that square is touching. Use logic to determine which squares the mines are under.
3.) Mark suspected mines with a right-click over the squares.
4.) Accidentally click on a mine and BOOM! start over.
5.) Repeat for hours and hours and hours. At some point, for additional difficulty, stop marking the mines and just force yourself to remember where they are.

I like to play Text Twister or Bookworm...from Yahoo, I think? Addictive, fun, builds your vocab and word skills--FUN! I'm starting school in the Fall--how'd you like to make some extra money writing papers for me?

All I can do is read the news and post in here

And by accolades do you mean the program thingy Accolade by Sopheon MR. Anon? That's pretty much what I work with all day.. a pain in the butt to learn how to use

Well, I'm honored! Its really not hard to invoke my wrath in case you haven't already noticed. I'll argue most anything - especially with a Californian!

I'd still argue that one, although I think we'd all be beating a dead horse. Wouldn't want those folks from PETA to show up with all their lynching pictures, now would we? :p

Trilby · 08-11-2005, 08:32 AM

I'm going to Wright State University--just a local State school, nothing grand, but it is an adventure for me. I can't wait!!

Bullitt · 08-11-2005, 08:36 AM

Nice, I really liked their campus when I toured it, alot of commuter kids though. The underground tunnel system is pretty dang cool. I'm actually switching schools this fall, headin off to Malone College.. bye bye OU

Trilby · 08-11-2005, 08:49 AM

I went to OU for a (brief) while. Freaky place, no? The cemeteries making a pentacle and all that stuff...weird vibe.

What's your major? And why the switch?
