[Maxtr0sity]

Whoa, what penguin? Wheres the penguin? I wanna play the penguin.

[TOOL]

It appears where it says if the user is online or offline... I guess you can't really play with him/her but you can imagine :)

[Maxtr0sity]

Congrats on your 500th post TOOL.

Nuts, I was expecting something to play with. Back to Blue Steel by EG, sorry Red.

hahaha.. hi guys..!

I was thinking the same thing. Only I thought it when I visited the shirt shop. Interested to see it. Hurry the up!

[mdipi]

kit was telling me monday. congrats! kit did you ask him about you know what for me?!

[asphaltcowboy]

yes, in theory, I'm meant to start on monday :)
btw, omg mdipi! I think you need counselling! get over it! :P

[Kitiara]

Why aren't you working? ;)

:P

[asphaltcowboy]

Er! Why are you working? Whilst you've been reading the newspaper, I've already finished those two things you gave me.. feel free to offload some more (unpaid btw :P) work on me. I'm only... over here *glares at kit across the two desks* :P

[cosine]

Ah brings me back to when I'd instant message my roommate instead of turning around and vocalizing my dialog

[Kitiara]

I can seeee you. :P

Um. Well, I was reading the paper to um... see if our latest advertisement was in there. Yes. :sure:

How's your ASP? :P

[asphaltcowboy]

oh yeah? :P

ASP: despite it's 'cool' name :), my ASP experience is.. um... non-existant? :)

*starts searching ASP on google*

[Kitiara]

You do realise that we could just talk to each other? :P

[asphaltcowboy]

yes, but that requires effort... or something... *shrugs* :P

[Kitiara]

Now you see why I love my job. :)

[asphaltcowboy]

[Kitiara]

I've got 110 ASP pages here... Need to have a new GUI applied to them. :evil:

On the other hand, since everyone else has buggered off, we could just put our feet up for a bit? :)

[asphaltcowboy]

*sits back.. taking in the.. splendid view* :)

[Kitiara]

Don't forget to look at the multistorey car park out the back. :)

[SureShot]

I can just see soul right now - ready to rip his computer out from his desk and throw it out the window :)

[asphaltcowboy]

whaaat? I'm just sitting here.. :P

(am I looking sexeh in meh suit and tie kit? ;))

[Kitiara]

Always had a thing about men in suits. :) (hence the Ocean's Eleven thing I mentioned at lunch) :)

[asphaltcowboy]

hahaha :)

[Kitiara]

Right, shall we get out of here? :)

[asphaltcowboy]

sounds like a plan...
well.. what are we going to do when we get outside though?
it's kind of a small (so far undeveloped) plan, don't you think? :)

oh, and I have to go to the bank as well - is there a NatWest around?

[Kitiara]

Why are we having this conversation online when we're about 2 feet away? :P

Er... Dinner? Drink? Pub? :)

[asphaltcowboy]

ok, sounds like a plan :)

[SureShot]

Kit - do you still have your boyfriend from a few months ago or are you on the prowl?

[Soul]

:*(

[Kitiara]

Bye all, catch you later. :beam:

[lava]

wow... you guys are INCREDIBLY HUGE DORKS...

[mdipi]

ahah. :P this is to funny. sorry soul :( i feel bad for you man. on the other hand i am not working for kit either!

[Xpeder]

Do you call each other by your first names or do you call each other kit and asphalt cuz that would be Hilarius.:P

[lava]

hey... is your avatar from office space?

[Xpeder]

Why yes it is ! which is one of my most favorite movies :beam:

[SureShot]

A great movie indeed! I love that flick :)

[telekinesis]

Kit and Asphalt sitting in the car, K-I-S-S-I-N-G! :P

I could have put something else, but that would have been just plain wrong. ;)

[lava]

Kit an asphalt in the car, killing puppies?

[telekinesis]

Nope, eating babies, close though.

[lava]

ever seen the crazy cripples episode of south park, with cristopher reeves?

[mdipi]

Why thankyou :) Taken me quite a while to reach this milestone, I sure am a slow one! :P

oooooooo someone could make an interactive forum style, that would be really cool :thumb:

What kind of jobs are you getting asphalt to do?

[Kitiara]

Making my tea, getting me chocolate... :P

Nah. :) General web work really. Site design and development, research, optimisation... That kind of thing. :) Plus all the odds and sods that I don't have time to deal with. :)

[TOOL]

Nice. Sounds like some interesting stuff. How's he doing so far? Up to standards? This is his 2nd day I think... :-\ if he's there full time... bah I don't know. I ask too many questions :trout:

[Kitiara]

He offically starts on Monday, so he's not here today or tomorrow. Came in yesterday afternoon though (obviously) and did a load of stuff that I've been putting off for ages. :beam:

[mdipi]

kits new clean up boy :beam:

kit your footer is two different shades of black! :!:

[Kitiara]

Well I need someone to keep me supplied with various caffienated products... :P

I know the footer is a bit rubbish, it was a quick thing last night... :) I'm gonna tidy it up later though. Just wanted to see what it looked like. :)

Oh, and I think you're going to be unlucky on the 'sister' front... :)

[lava]

hey, what's the website of the company you work for?

[Kitiara]

http://www.churchill.com :beam:

Though it's undergoing a re-design even now... :)

[mdipi]

kit you wouldnt...i was stating the facts...kit! kit! ohh rubish! well when i come to london i wil meed you guys...and his sister

[lava]

that dog is cool!

[Xpeder]

yeeees you can buy a nodding dog on the site sweeeeet i am so close to buying one *checks wallet* **** !

[Kitiara]

Argh! No! The dog is the bane of my life... It stars in adverts and everything, it's everywhere! You can't escape it in this building... :hangover:

[thoriphes]

Kit, why don't you volunteer to do something about the site?

Show the designers in your company your website and your works.

and mike (mdipi), you saw a 14-year old in a bikini, get over it! :P

[mdipi]

yeah the joke is over now :P
aha kit, next dog you see just rip it up. then sit down and be like, I'M TRYING TO WRITE SOME CODE HERE! but make sure your not at your desk :P

[Kitiara]

Actually I am the one redesigning the site. :beam: I've been ordered to keep the dogs in there sadly, but it should look a lot nicer. :)

[Coppertop]

Do you know what really sucks? not only do I not live in the wonderful UK, I am 3 (2 as of september 15th) years away from getting any kind of job better than paper boy (which sucked). when will sweet 16 come??!?!?

This sucks. I wanna good job so I can afford a notebook.

[SureShot]

Trust me coppertop - live your life to the fullest right now, because when you CAN have a job - you wont want one. I only wish I still knew the joys of waking up in the morning and knowing that I could do ANYTHING I wanted.

Wow - that's kind of depressing really :)

[asphaltcowboy]

i think you guys have issues (j/k) :)

so yeah, they didnt want me in today or tomorrow.. so whilst kit was slaving away in her office (sorry.. did I say slaving? I meant slacking ;)) I was out.. doing.. stuff.. :beam:

[telekinesis]

You know you were just circle jerking with the churchhill dogs. . . . .

:P

[asphaltcowboy]

er! there is only one true Churchill Dog, admittedly he doesnt actually exist but.. whatever, either way, that would make 'circle jerking' somewhat difficult ;)

Oh, I know it's great now. I just wish I had lots of money so I could do stuff. I mean, if I learn serverside scripting (and some more client side) I could become yet another website designer.

I'll be the richest 13 (14) yearold!

[lava]

Man, having a job as a web designer is sweet... :) And you get paid for doing stuff you like... it's freaking awesome.

[Kitiara]

I seriously do love my job, even though I may moan and whinge about it from time to time. :)

I've been glued to ASP this morning which is interesting, if doing my head in a bit. :P

I'm also making a pile of work for Asphalt for next week. :beam:

[lava]

you know what, I used to be a total PHP person until I started working here... I'm loving ASP now.. just beause of Access...

[Kitiara]

I prefer PHP I think, this ASP is bringing back my hangover. :P

[lava]

hey kit, how good are you with php? maybe you can help me out with something...

[mdipi]

i want to try ASP but right now it PHP cause jubba said its better.

and sure shot, right now its wake up, and then see where your parents will bring you :-\

[Kitiara]

[telekinesis]

jubbly bubbly wubbly fo sheezy mah neezy

[mdipi]

jubby can do anything :love:

hehe dan has the funny talk!

[Kitiara]

[Kitiara]

What? :) Just making sure you'll have plenty of interesting work to be doing. :beam:

[asphaltcowboy]

Are you sure I should exchange 'interesting' for another i-word that will have quite a different effect on my time at Churchill? ;)

[Kitiara]

Whatever do you mean? :beam:

It's nothing nasty, I promise you. :) We saw today what the 7th floor had come up with for the Intranet and we were laughing for hours. :)

One of your not-very-difficult tasks is to beat their effort. :)

[asphaltcowboy]

oh, well.. if it's the 7th floor.. it shouldn't be too difficult ;)

[Kitiara]

Stunningly easy. :)

The things they've done... :sigh: It provided much amusement.

[Coppertop]

I feel left out not knowing what floor 7 did.

ah well.

(hehe, Fo sheezy mah neezy)

About web design, my first client (friend) site is almost done. Watch for it in the Site Check area! Only problem is I'm not getting paid. -BUt I have to start somewhere!

[Kitiara]

Ah, the mystique of the seventh floor... :)

basically it's the executives and hangers-on. Who are in charge of the company intranet. And don't have the faintest clue about what they're doing. :sure:
