    So yesterday I had to go to an all day meeting to plan out this huge project that I am on. Personally I hate meetings. I don't think much ever comes out of them, but that's just me.

    So there we all are in the meeting (6 of us in the room, and 2 more tele-confrenced in) and I was asked to run the a Power point presentation while the other guy got up and talked about the slides. So I sat there turning the slides until the presentation was over, and the lights came on. Then I got the bright idea, that I would check the CDL forums while I had access to this computer.

    As I was browsing the forums I clciked on a link and suddenly the room was filled with this weird "whirling" noise and everybody looked at me. I thought "fuck, this thing has the sound cranked" and as i frantically looked for the volume to turn it down I accidently hit the button to turn on the "In Focus" machine just in time for the Spinning cow to be beamed against the wall, stop and scream "YeeeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"

    I almost died. The whole room was silent and I had just beamed a spinning cow onto the wall for all to see. I was sure I had just earned my pink slip. Then the silence was broken by one of the callers who asked "What the hell was that?" Everyone just started laughing and decided to break for lunch.

    Funny thing is, after the meeting 3 people came up[ and asked me to play it for them again :D

    Dude I can see it now "So Dave it says here that you were terminated from your last job". "Tell me what led upto you loosing your job"?

    "Well ummm ya see theres this guy named OED I play Tribes with online cuzz were all nerds and well ya see I kinda lost my job being the forum whore that I am I went in there and he had this Sig and it was spinning COW saying YeeeHawwwwwwww and my boss didnt have a sence of humor"

    Ghey, If anyone fires someone for that they really are dull and who would want to work with them anyways. We all have to have a sence of humor to break aways from the madness of the real world and even the most upstanding employees are probally just as guilty of that sort of stuff as any of us, nobody can say they never goof around or have never goofed around at work!

    OK kids, what have we learned from todays story:

    1) Surfing and meetings do not mix
    2) Working for people without a sence of humor is wrong


    I guess that this shows that recreational surfing CAN be hazerdous to your health (grin)

    Sorry Dane...hope the people to ask you to show it later where high up (grin).
