Call to the Four Lands - OCC

Is it just me or have people noticed a slow-down in general on the boards? People just seem to be posting less often... or maybe I'm just impatient.

I have notice a slow down myself both in games that are running and in creation of new games. Could it be the holidays getting ready to start what is that like on the boards?? as I missed that season last year.

Yeah, there has been a bit of a slow down and there always seems to be one in the fall. Not sure why. I can tell you in my case it is work related. I'll try to make up for lost time this weekend.

BTW, I spoke with our illusive DM a couple of days ago. He was just returning from an extended business trip and packing again for a shorter trip. He is at least alive and well if over-worked. I expect we'll see him back in action soon.

Naw. Leif is one of a kind, and too necessarry to let go. Unfortunately, I have pretty much finishe what the short surge of work provided me.

Electrician--Surge heh, cute. Hope this work will spark future opportunities. My brother is in the flooring business and has been doing some finish carpentry as well. He seems to think the construction market is improving. He's about 4 hours south of you though.

Good to hear JA is still alive and kicking!

How does that happen? The reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where George tries to break up with his girl, and she won't let him. LOL.

lol, it happens when the boss says to me, "I don't accept your resignation. I'll expend some of your accumulated vacation days for the time that you've missed so far, and go ahead and take one more day off. You're scheduled to go to training on Thursday, and then I'll expect to see you in the office on Friday."

And that's just what happened! Kinda like poor ol' George, I guess, but I got paid for it!

 

[Rhun]

As long as you are getting paid, its all good!

 

[Leif]

I'm a-sayin'!

Scotley:

Good to hear from ya!

Electrician-surge ... huh, missed that, even though i wrote it. spark future opportunities. also funny.

I am glad to hear about your brother getting work. I have seen very little here in columbia except the jobs that get botched by people that don't know what they are doing. I hate that kind of work because it is after all the drywall and pait is up and they don't want any wire replaced and want it done 'now' and finished yesturday. ugh.

It is interesting to see that people want the same thing, regardless of what industry you work in. While I don't generally work with wiring, our customers tend to expect the same thing when it comes to telco installs.

 

[Scott DeWar]

I have had several telephone service calls where the home owner installed the wire with a staple gun to hold the wire up.Eeither they staple too tight and pinch the wires or staple through the wire. They do the same to my romex.

Finding these problems are a bear as you don't see the problem through the wall. I think there is lead in the sheet rock or something that blocks my X-Ray vision.
