NEW WORDS

BLAMESTORMING. Sitting around in a group, discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed, and who was responsible.

SEAGULL MANAGER . A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything, and then leaves.

ASSMOSIS . The process by which people seem to absorb success and advancement by sucking up to the boss rather than working hard.

SALMON DAY. The experience of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get screwed and die.

CUBE FARM . An office filled with cubicles.

PRAIRIE DOGGING . When someone yells or drops something loudly in a cube farm, and people's heads pop up over the walls to see that's going on. (This also applies to applause for a promotion because there may be cake.)

PERCUSSIVE MAINTENANCE . The fine art of whacking the crap out of an electronic device to get it to work again.

ADMINISPHERE . The rarefied organisational layers beginning just abovethe rank and file.

BEER COMPASS . The invisible device that ensures your safe arrival home after booze cruise, even though you're too drunk to remember where you live, how you got here, and where you've come from.

GREYHOUND . A very short skirt, only an inch from the hare.


MILLENNIUM DOMES. The contents of a Wonderbra, i.e. extremely impressive when viewed from the outside, but there's actually nothing in there worth seeing.

MONKEY BATH. A bath so hot, that when lowering yourself in, you go:"Oo!Oo!Oo! Aa!Aa!Aa!".


MYSTERY BUS . The bus that arrives at the pub on Friday night while you're in the toilet after your 10th pint, and whisks away all the unattractive people so the pub is suddenly packed with hotties when you come back in.

MYSTERY TAXI . The taxi that arrives at your place on Saturday morning before you wake up, whisks away the hottie you slept with, and leaves a swamp-donkey in your bed instead.

SWAMP-DONKEY A deeply unattractive person.

Whacha getting?

OffroadZuki 12-02-2007 04:32 PM

I bought it!!!! (by remote control lol...my bro picked it up for me in Van)...so it'll be my Xmas present to myself :D:D:D

Sigma 18-125 3.5-5.6 :D it's in absolutely MINT condition...apparently it looks/works like a brand new lens. It's no L lens, but I just wanted something to replace my kit 18-55 with...it's going to be PERFECT for work (for work I don't even know if I'd want to cart around a 1,500 dollar lens...) I'm so freaking giddy right now hahaha

OffroadZuki 12-02-2007 09:14 PM

fuck it...I'm moving back to the Island

-23 °C

Light snow
Feels Like: -35

:(

ness_71 12-02-2007 09:24 PM

3 degrees! feels like -1

I honestly don't even know how I managed in Kamloops. Even if it's like 5 degrees I'm all bundled up. I think the dampness makes a big difference though.

OffroadZuki 12-03-2007 07:31 AM

hey now! we had some fun in the snow in Kloopz!!

Today I'm the photographer for the paper...which means I have to be out all day in -35 and snow...idiot me for liking photography and volunteering lol...I'm gonna come back periodically to warm my feet up!

metal 12-03-2007 08:45 AM

Nicee, I just got a Sigma 17-70 f/2.8-4 for a walkaround lens, great image quality with it.

On another note, my car is gone, fuck. More info in a bit once I get off work at two and try to track it down.

OffroadZuki 12-03-2007 11:29 AM

ooooh good choice for a walkaround lens! That's what I was originally looking for (the f2.8 would be really nice) but I got a pretty sweet deal on this one and I'm sure the 125mm will come in handy now and again :)

You mean your car just disappeared? :|

OffroadZuki 12-03-2007 11:36 AM

- an escort drives a custom pink Hummer

OffroadZuki 12-04-2007 01:21 PM
