I want to see who else is a FCP lover like me 9-5 or is just as bored as work to be consistently posting at this time? :wink:
Edit: Time for an unsticky so the new thread will take it's place.

(Carefully raises hand hoping boss does not see)
Yea, I'm hella bored at work a lot. I do chem experiments for a water company on coop for school, and in between tests or at the end of the day is when I do most of my posting. It's funny because on weekends or in the evening at home after work I rarely post, I guess this is more interesting when it's all you can do to entertain yourself.

Really? What kind of chem experiments?
We do microbial source tracking for drinking water here, especially for
Escherichia coli. The sad thing is I still love to post on evenings and weekends, I should go out to da club more (with a bottle full of bud)

I'm more responsible for detecting and monitoring things like Nitrates, nitrites, phosphates, copper, etc. I also test daily for Fluoride that we put in the water to keep track of the levels so they don't get too high. The old guy Lonnie across the hall takes care of the "Bacte" work, whatever the hell that means. Wierd that you do water stuff too. Do you take care of making the drinking water, or decontamination of waste water?
Wait, that sounds really dorky, I feel a "Nehay!" coming on. Don't bother answering that... we'll sound like losers.

Jayistheman is also on coop, and is also a frequent poster, and is also ridiculously bored at work. Maybe he just hasn't seen this topic yet, or else he would join the crew in an instant.
The crew now has a negative conotation to me now, how sad. Damn Dutch Boyd and his preppy friends.

Don't post often, but I'm at work 9ish to 5ish M-F staring at a computer screen. I'll surf during code builds, and server resets, etc...
Sometimes surf while I'm thinking over an issue as well

I leave work at 4:30. So I guess that makes sense.
Man, I'm sitting at home, it's 9:20, and I have nothing to say, nothing. I looked through the entire forum and just didn't see anything post-worthy. Man, I wasn't kidding when I said this is much more appealing when you're stuck at work.
Cya tomorrow, maybe I'll have something better to say.

For two years, I've been saying to brown bag it and save money. But, is that money I am going to save worth my time the night before getting something ready, the time going to the grocery to buy the food, and the time in the morning to get it ready?? My answer is always NO. Mainly because I'm really lazy.
I usually hit up Wendy's, Chinese, a local diner, Arby's, or something of the like.
Onion rings sound DAMN good though.

You have your friends here though, we don't hate you. As a matter of fact, some of us lust after you. :wink:
Lunch is the best though, my favorite part of the day. I can only eat with coworkers though as I am out in East Jabumba****. For shame.

I pretty much always brown bag it as well, its cheaper and with the wedding/house purchase coming up I need all the money I can get.
