Offical NEK thread

This IBM presentation (conf call for me) was supposed to go from 12 to 2, and we're currently an hour and 20 minutes over. Thank god I wasn't feeling well enough to go into the office. I can't imagine sitting in that conference room for this long.

I hate conference calls...especially with people that like to hear themselves talk.

This is a sales team trying to sell us on Websphere on zOS on SystemZ. IBM loves the letter 'z'. Pretty sure there were more acronyms than real words over the course of this too. And they think they are super funny too. They have this one command shell where all the commands start with the letter 'o', so IBM calls them "Irish commands". Get it? They start with O like Irish last names! So funny! Ha ha ha.

I had one today with a mono-tone low talker... i almost fell asleep

I usually just put them on speaker, and put my headphones on...I could care less what the *******s I work with have to say.

I've had them on my headset on mute while doing real work. I have to pay some attention just in case someone asks me what I think about us buying into this crap.

Um, so it seems all of our people left this presentation a while ago and I didn't notice. I'm still on and they are talking about us rather than to us.

[milan616]

Damnit! The call finally got interesting with them talking about us and it booted me due to lack of participants!

[CorradoG602]

i'm thinking about these for the rabbit

OK so here's the google spreadsheet that i've made up for Tshirts
T-Shirt Order form

**JUST ENTER YOUR QUANTITIES OF EACH SIZE** I've had to make the sheet available to edit by all since i don't have everyone's email so don't start making a ton of changes

once you've entered the qty for each shirt multiply that number by $20 and get me that money asap! cash is fine but if you send me paypal then you MUST cover the fee (which is 3% i believe)

let's get this filled in by the end of this week so i can get them ordered by Dustoff

Attention slackers and deadbeats! Everyone who wants club parking and hasn't paid, has until next Wednesday (April 8th) to get me their money. Cash or Paypal is accepted. Here are the fine people who are all set: Phil Phil's better half Geoff Justin C. Sofa Jimmy S. Mike F. Mike W. Milan Justin N. Brian N. Jon E. Matty If you aren't on the list, get me your money. If you know someone not on the list, tell them to get me their money. If you're unsure if you're going to be parking, you've got a week to figure your shit out.

i appreciate the offer bri. we'd be coming up from CT on saturday am if that would work for you and your lady. i don't want to throw your home into further chaos with our arrival tho. i know you just moved... let me know, i'm gonna try and find another option before we descend on you and the puppy!

do we have plans as a group for saturday/saturday night? if so, where? and are we staying in RI after the show?
