Closed Due To Testing

[Baliset]

the sign is up on my door, the door is locked, my shoes are off, and if i didn't run out of boxer shorts i would totally be rocking the "no pants zone" in my office. and i get to leave at 3!

 

[TheNewChupe]

i have Mr. Clean boxers.
next person that asks me for a stapler/red pen/scissors gets to see them.

 

[xfer]

fuck 'boxers'

 

[minxnim]

hi greg.

what kind of testing?

 

[Baliset]

hi prep.

testing this new interface with the department of education for reporting and recieving data.

aka exciting for financial aid peeps like myself but boring and meaningless for everyone else.

 

[xfer]

after the pants comment, i'm suspecting he meant "testicling"

 

[minxnim]

so like, you're testing out a new way you'll do your job and no one is allowed to bother you while you do it? neat.

 

[Baliset]

basically that is the deal.

 

[Baliset]

which also means i have to close out of UM for awhile to focus.

 

[minxnim]

a catch 22!

 

[Baliset]

bye

 

[TheNewChupe]

bye Major Major Major Major!

 

[xfer]

 

[minxnim]

bye Major Major Major Major!

i was going to say that but i thought no one would know what i meant

 

[xfer]

you think very little of us.

I am also testing. we have these new blackberrys with integrated cell phone and I am learning how to use them so I can explain in infant terms to our managers.

 

[Baliset]

yeah i think i fucked something up. i was supposed to test two students' records and i ended up sending out 2417 records instead. oops.

 

[TheNewChupe]

wow, those blackberry things look neat0. i still bet 83% of people who have them use them as overglorified black books and video games, leaving 97% of their functionality untouched.

 

[lizard]

fucking up is a way of flushing out flaws.

 

[lizard]

yeah, and by the way...we haven't configured these yet for the intended users and some other dude's messages are on here! (this is a demo unit)

unfortunately there are no porn-filled msgs from his squeeze, just bland hi mom osu tickets don't forget the holiday stuff. meh.

for most of the people who get issued these, they function as a status symbol,"I'm cool, I have a blackberry!"
