Non-Gaming / Off-Topic / Re: You can't fire me... because I quit

We have a call center at my company and they are really strict with the employees, not out of spite, but to maintain high customer service levels. I would probably get fired in the first week given how much I surf the net at work. Our CEO, who's also a friend of mine, fired a call center worker he caught looking at his cellphone. I didn't agree, but those are the rules I guess. Probably why I'm not the boss. Good luck. Let me know if you need another call center job

I remember that old "the street you grew up on and your first pet is your porn name" meme from years ago. Unfortunately it never worked for me. I doubt any porn producer would hire someone named "Route 2 Pepsi".

Brewer might be good if he DOESN'T DO IMPRESSIONS!!! That Pesci thing that he did for a whole day was annoying as hell.
That's most of his schtick. I don't mind Brewer, but I can see him getting annoying once he was over his Howard awe. I was watching the balls guy with my kids and the three of us were cringing and laughing. I decided to use it as a teaching lesson 'don't do stuff like that'.

Any recommendations for the cheapest laptop that would run DIII at low settings?
Hell, I have an M170 Dell XPS I'd sell ya on the cheap - it should run it on medium or high. Just needs a new battery (battery dies in about 7 minutes) Sent you a PM.

Lovely. When the vast majority of us hard-working adult gamers will be at work. suck it employed people!  I'll just play from work from my laptop tethered to my iphone and routed through my monitor via KVM switch. Completely off the grid and an emergency button away to a generic spreadsheet.

I was reading the new GW2 database and saw that pets have other abilities such as transferring damage from you to them and debuffing. It may be that they are not meant to be tanks, but rather companions that stay by your side, not wade into battle alone.

I know! There is so much in there, elements of their early stuff but with a new sound. That's part of why I was so excited. So few bands can still sound classic but new at that same time. Which is why we say How amazing is Rush?

You can be in more than one guild but the advantage of one combined guild would be everyone contributing toward that guilds perks.
Really? That's awesome, because I'd love to be in my old WoW guild in GW2, but also play with you forum geeks

Paul McCartney's son wants to create a "new generation" Beatles band with other Beatles members sons. This is what it would look like...
Zak Starkey (Ringo's son) is actually an awesome drummer. I've seen him play with The Who channeling his inner Moon. I highly doubt he would agree to this.

Depends on the place. We get our normal ones back anywhere from a few days to about a week. Not sure about more 'high profile' type searches that may require consents and further investigation. I know some Federal agencies send investigators out to review prior employee files. We get those requests too.
