View Full Version : Entertain me!

I'm stuck here at work until 5:30 tonight and I have nothing to do. I'm not even avoiding regular work, nor procrastinating. I simply have no projects to finish up and I can be pretty much gauranteed no Search and Rescue cases are going to happen today.

So here I am, in front of a computer at a desk all day listening to the 13 radio towers. Stuck listening to a bunch of Maine and NH lobstermen talking about stuff I don't care about, or talking nearly indistinguishable english.

In addition I have no personal life stuff to take care of the internetz except to figure out what classes I'd like to take next month from my college. That'll waste about 10 minutes of the next 9.5 hours I have left.

Entertain me with stories, work safe interweb links, ways to fold paper airplanes for best results, etc. etc.

Well what are you waiting for? Get to it now!

~nerd~

I love watching this thing when I am bored: http://passingby.net/

And this http://maps.google.com. Also this is pretty cool: http://maps.live.com/#JnE9eXAucG9ydHNtb3V0aCUyY25oJTdlc3N0LjAlN2VwZy4xJ mJiPTQzLjExMzgyODczOTg3NzglN2UtNzAuNzE3NjIwODQ5NjA 5NCU3ZTQzLjA3Njg1MDQzMjA5ODQlN2UtNzAuODA2NTQxNDQyO DcxMQ==

Here's a fun activity when you're bored:

1. Sign up on NASIOC
2. Create a thread about how you caught your dad in bed with your GF and then your GF in bed with your mom.
3. sit back and watch the feeding frenzy.

I only see a black screen here on my work computer. Probably requires some plug-in we don't have and won't let me install any way.

The forum is far from entertaining me. I still have 7 more hours of work and I've been here since 5:30am.

No I won't be at Newicks tonight. I have a holiday party to go to with a bunch of friends at the Courtyard Marriott in Portsmouth from 8pm-12pm.

I'm available for next Fridays meet, if there is one. Hell I'll even start the thread next week for it.

I concur! Allagash is fine and all, nothing special to my taste buds but the pizza is rather good.

I watched a couple of them. They're ok, nothing exciting.

wow.... I got all hyped up.

The military has killed your sense of excitement.

Don't worry... it comes back. Only took me 4 years to get mine back :)

I have excitement. Such as the excitement of going down the glades the other day at Bretton Woods. That was exciting.

This sucks right now. Usually people leave early on Friday from here, starting around 2:30pm and pretty much an empty base except for essential workers by 4pm.

Tonight is the Holiday Party for the base (which I'm not attending, instead I'm going to a Holiday Party that my friend is putting on at a hotel with about 100 people I actually know). That means that people going to the holiday party tonight can leave at 12pm, which pretty much everyone took advantage of even though they probably aren't going.

4 more hours of boredom...

Dammit, I didn't want to give that away. Way to go.

P.S. You owe me three good minutes of entertainment. I'll accept a 3 minute hug war, or let you come up with a way to 'wooo' me for 3 minutes. Now get to it!

I could entertain you with my story of traveling to Utah!. full of sleeping in my car, cooking my own food on a camp stove, hard wood floors, showers with no hot water, over heating, dead dear, worlds biggest truck stop, lots of corn, really big walmarts, gas stations called kum'n'go(no joke) 19hr days, getting pulled over for a head light out at 2am, getting to see Niagra falls and the mississippi river in one day, crested red buttes, annnnnd a tree growing out of a rock.
but I don't want to make you jealous.
ps. if you do come out, i can get free rentals and lift tixs.

Rentals are fine if I don't want to bring my own equipment. Lift tixs are sweet.
