No, not the game servers... my work servers. So I'm sitting here being completely unproductive, and doing it with style, of course.


I figured I'd make a list of things to do while I'm waiting for the IT guys to Git 'Er Done!



  1. Cruise the Smuggler forum. Always the #1 choice. But since you guys post so slowly in the morning, I need more to do.

  2. Shoot rubber bands at a guy a couple of cubicles away from me and act like it wasn't me.

  3. Check CNN.com to see if someone else got attacked by a shark today.

  4. Take a peek in the Jedi forums to laugh at all the whiners.

  5. Take a peek in the BH forums to laugh at all the Jedi whining in there, too.

  6. Go get yet another cup of coffee... I'm so caffeinated right now it's not funny.

  7. Invent some wierd form of origami with paper clips.

  8. Listen to some heavy metal MP3's while doing any of the above.

  9. Delete all the e-mails in my Inbox about the servers being down. I hate interoffice e-mail.

  10. Try to see if there is any pie in the fridge in the break room so I can Smuggle it back to my cubicle.

  11. Look out the window and wish I was anywhere but here.

Anything else you guys can suggest?

Go walk around the building? People will always look at you funny if you're outside. They don't understand.

You forgot "Install SWG on my work PC or use laptop to hijack a wireless network so I can buy some more AUKs and WUKs!"
You could also call 1800comcast and see how many times u have to call to get to me

Oh, how I wish.... my work computer's vid card wouldn't handle SWG. And I left my laptop at home.


Not to mention, if you start hijacking bandwidth over the wireless here, they will track you down. I've seen it happen. Some guy comes around with a device that tracks the signal.

When the servers at work go down I run around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get them fixed. The rest of the time I sit on my ass and wonder what to do...

rofl, so apparently you work for the Secret Police?

You could get onna those wireless modems, the kind that work through cellular networks, and tell your company it's necessary for business and that they need to pay for it. Then you could play galaxies instead of work

Once again... I wish.


I don't rank high enough on the corporate food chain, I'm afraid.
