[HockeyPat]

Please allow me to introduce myself, I'm a man of wealth and taste… Well actually I'm a state employee who loves the Simpsons, so you decided.

I love the Canes and pretty woman. Lately I have not been treated very nice by either. But I'm always optimistic.

Go Canes, here’s to you from section 304! Row A! All 44 games. I’m sooooo stoked for next hockey season.

[lvscolencanes]

I am a fellow state employee!!! How can you afford season tickets.. :D

A very warm 1st :D welcome to ya HockeyPat!!http://smilies.sofrayt.com/1/r/dance.gif

[HockeyPat]

Season tickets are no problem. :crazy:

BTW, could you spare some change? I haven't eaten in weeks and my cardboard box is getting a little thin.

[lvscolencanes]

Dern I thought you knew something I didnt, I was gona ask you the same thing... :D

That is soooo sad. You can share my box. Its the refridgerator sized one near the RBC Center. http://www.jordysworld.de/emoticons/conf43.gif I"m looking for a roommate to cost share. I got a great recipe for cracker soup.

Cool, now I don't have to sell my other kidney for dinner. I've been stealing packs of catsup from the food court, but since they started charging for water at work, I haven't been able to make soup.

[folgersnyourcup]

Hehe, yeah how about those new prices at the cafateria at work Pat? I HATE them! Before the price increase I got the little carton thing with spaghetti and salad and a drink and it was 3.45, I went in there after the price increase and it was 5.10!! Whoohoo! I'm thinking a mass boycott/stoning is in order to knock some sense into them.

There's no shortage of pretty women here on this board so you've come to the right place for that.

[HockeyPat]

Yeah, and it's not like they went up 10 or 15 cents. Man, we get no love from the legislature and now our own cafe wants us even poorer? :sad:

I'm getting back at them by taking extra napkins. Those Café Martha Stewarts do not know who they are messing with this time.

But I have my season tickets paid for and there is nothing the General Assembly can do about it now. ! :evil: Haha, Ho Haha Hee hee

[HockeyPat]

They let State Employees have credit cards. Woo Hoo. I'm gettin liquored up tonight. :spin: Large screen TV's anybody?

[lvscolencanes]

Only if you have a copy of the Cup finals from year before last..would look awesome on Big Screen :eek:

Wow, wonder how many state employees we have here at LCG?? :spin: :spin:

[Stormbringer]

Only if you have a copy of the Cup finals from year before last..would look awesome on Big Screen :eek:

Or a copy of Raising Canes, which includes not only the Cup finals, but every other aspect of those glorious times and much more. :spin:

[Shell]

welcome aboard Pat, your sense of humor will definitely fit in here!
and damn, no wonder the state pays so poorly.. none of their employees are working ;o)

[folgersnyourcup]

Hehe, good point Shell! I'm kinda/sorta a state employee I guess... I work where Hockeypat does (Employment Security Commission, on St. Mary's St, used to Rex Hospital about 30 years ago) though I'm a very lowly intern. I would say my time is budgeted somehow like this:

82% various message board posting and talking to people about hockey
8% eating lunch and getting paid for it (is this a mistake? :spin:)
6% fielding "How old are you?" and "Oh, you're that old? What are you majoring in?" questions
3% asking my bosses if they have any work for me to do and being answered with a clever joke or quip that leaves the three of us laughing hysterically
1% actual bona-fide working my butt off-work.

I'm thinking I'm not being too useful around here though as long as I recieve pay I do not complain. :D

Hey Now!! :p :D

[HockeyPat]

For me it's either feast of famine. I get projects to do and when I finish them I pray for more work. Right now I have a major project pending and I’m looking forward to it with great anticipation. I can disappear for days, then have nothing but time on my hand for a too long a time. And there is always that we needed this yesterday request that keeps me on my toes.

Be careful what you ask for Aaron. They could have you cleaning the bathrooms now that the prisoners are gone.

[folgersnyourcup]

LOL, don't worry, I'm perfectly fine with my current position. No complaining is being done. :D If I complain I might as you said end up cleaning the bathroom in a suit and tie or be used as a footrest for the chairman.

[hyena]

lol. i also have "downtime" at my job (i work for the gov, though, not the state). i can never bring up the subject of $ around my dad because he's always got a smart-ass comment about how his tax money pays for me to surf the internet. :roll:

*sigh*

ok everyone, back to work. :angel:

oh yeah, hello there, hockeypat! :D

[RIO]

Hi there HP :) My mother works for the state as well. There seem to be an awful lot of government workers in here. :crazy:
