Strynx 0 #1 January 18, 2002 Aggiedave just gave me an idea. with this post."It would be funny to pull stuff like that off if you had a couple other coworkers who jumped. Like, lanch a 4-way out of the elevator when the door opens. Or go on a tracking dive, down the stairs. Use creepers in the lobby...the list could go on."So i'm askin you what kind of skydive related pranks you would doin an office full of whuffos? hehehe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites AggieDave 6 #2 January 18, 2002 We need to get Flying Ferret to tell his story about his interview with the company he works for. Another guy at the company is a jumper from our home DZ and...well, I'll see if he'll post it. It's hilarious.

There have to be at least a few other people present who jump. Otherwise, you will just look stupid, for apparently no reason. "Can't keep my mind from the circling sky.

Turns out his manager is thinking about jumping and just has not had the time to do it yet. He and his wife both want to tandem.So, Trevor starts telling him, that I am the best he has seen. That I pull off 'power docks' that are amazing. That is an a joke with our little group of jumpers, about my new found bootie abilities and high speed passes Hope you guys enjoyed the story.Malachi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites flyingferret 0 #22 January 18, 2002 CONGRATS Zennie...where? what you doing? still IT?Malachi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Zennie 0 #23 January 18, 2002 QuoteCONGRATS Zennie...where? what you doing? still IT?A company called Air Liquide.

I had interviewed way back in December and then out of the blue they call with an offer.Yeah it's still IT, but sort of general purpose.... coding, troubleshooting, configuration management.

billvon 2,473 #13 January 18, 2002 >CEO- "You can't resign! not at this moment of fantastic corperate takeovers...">Employee "Fuck that, take my death cirtificate as my resignation, im jumping ship."I always wondered about that. Do most people really hate their bosses/CEOs? If so, wouldn't you just quit? Our CEO is a pretty good guy. -bill von Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheMarshMan1 0 #14 January 18, 2002 Of the 5 different jobs I've had in my life, I can honestly say I've never had a boss that I really didnt like. A boss is a boss, but that doesnt mean they arent good guys. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chickenhawk420 0 #15 January 18, 2002 Wish i could say the same had a couple of cool boss's (like my team leader when doing door to door) to some right upthemselves, loves to pull rank BEEP BEEP. Its just a case of whether they are the sort to act human and actually muck in and act like one of the lads OR all superior. The latter i can't stand and ive been employed by one (nearly punched him twice, all agressive body language and all comming at me). It not the job its the person.
