Hello Jeff,

 JT>>  Must be that WHOLE christmas cake I ate the other day.  All that sugar 
 JT>> can't be good for you.
 
 JG>> And the two bottles of rum in it didn't have any affect I suppose?
 
 JT>  Oh, that's why.  It didn't have any booze in it.  That explains 
 JT> everything.

 JG> Explains what?

 I can't remember, it must have been all that sugar.

 JG> I've lost the thread after losing three OS's to a
 JG> fucked up floppy disk chkdsk!!! Linux survived. Win95, WinNT and OS/2
 JG> all died horrible deaths! I'm not bothering with reinstalling OS/2.

 That'll learn ya.  You had all the OS's on one drive I take it?  I can imagine
it could get ugly if the drive crashes.

 JG> I relieve stress by telling the senior managers at work what fuckwits
 JG> they are.

 I used to be afraid of that once apon a time, then I actually tried it.  I was
rather disapointed when nothing exiting actually happened...
 I left anyway though, I couldn't stand that much fucking up going on and
everyone behaving like nothing was even slightly abnormal.

 JG> My boss has just gone on holidays and he made me promise not
 JG> to bait the sales people

 We used to do that.  Ah the good 'ol days.  :-)

 JG> or managers and not to write any memos unless they are OKed by his boss
 JG> (the GM) :-)

 Bugger that, we had internal email.  Everyone can find out what is going on
with a mere click of a key...  I remember one time, two of our network admins
had cross-posted a message to half the company (several hundred people) they
said they found on the internet, and warned everyone about it (the Good Times
Virus).  They were serious...

 I posted a reply saying that it was a hoax, and a two-year-old hoax at that.
Cross-posted to all the original recipitants again of course. :-)  They didn't
speak to me again after that.  Probably just as well...

 JG> He knows I'll fail on the baiting part but I'll try hard to keep my
 JG> promise about no memos. 

 That's it, try hard, I know you can do it! :-)  Oh well, even if you don't
succeed, at least you tried... :-)
