lol don't we all . Hey izzy what remote system are you using might be the same as ours.
We use RM not sure sounds like you are in resident bussiness ?

We're just using Windows Remote Desktop Connection. I'm using Logmein on this client right now to get to my home computer haha.

WOW WE SHOULD ALL GET A HUGE GAME OF DEFCON GOING. We could all play like a 6 hour game starting at like 9am and ending at like 3 haha.

A few years ago, while I was still at Uni, I did a 6 month co-op stint with the Government of Alberta. The department I was in had 5 other co-op students and we were generally very, very bored. (Very slow forest fire season so little financial processing work for us.) We started playing Risk by e-mail and could, on a slow day, get in about 4 or 5 games per day. We even developed a levelized ranking system for placement vs. number of games played; was pretty fun.

So teach us this game lol ( Not sure if i can use my email it won't let me delete all the things i never opened over 4k Hmm... )

[Elesirdur]

It's by invite only and I don't have access to my old gov't e-mail program. Sorry ; ;

[whitey]

Hmm... I'm sure we can think of some games lol

I wish we had Shoots and Ladders god i loved that game

[Creeps]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DEFCON_(computer_game)

get this!

It even has an "office mode" that makes a keystroke combo hide the window totally and go back to the next window behind it haha.

Office mode

In Office mode, the game runs in real time and cannot be sped up. The game can be quickly forced to the background making the computer available for another use, or simply to make it appear the gamer is actually working. While the game continues to run in the background, a system tray icon will notify the gamer of certain events as they occur. The office mode hotkey, sometimes referred to as the boss key, is activated by striking the escape key twice in rapid succession. A game in office mode lasts no more than six hours. In fact, the boss key is available in all game modes, but it is designed for this mode in particular.

Heres what im working on the format is not the same as it is in my files as it is posted here though . I have to revise it cause our lawer is a tart .

[Skyylya]

My job reminds me of office space.

Really in a given day I might do about 30 minutes of...actual work.

Seriously my job is so easy that for the 8 hours i'm here, about 1 hour is spent working and the rest is either wishing I had work to do or just playing online games.

I can't do to much work either, cause then i'd run out of work to do in the future. have to find a good balance of doing enough to get promoted and not doing to much to run out of work.

Right now I spend a lot of time playing Freecell and online puzzle games.

Please post links to fun online games that are available!
