Acquiring things from work appreciation post!

[AnticorRifling]

So every now and then we get extra pieces or items sent to us that don't "exist". We hold on to them for 180 days and then we filter them into our stock to use for emergencies, for personal use, or for times when we borrowed from stock to replace an item that broke.

Well I've been gathering some of this and some of that and now:

Old home computer
PIII 833
512 meg SDRAM
30 Gig HDD
CDRW
Windows ME ( I was too lazy to put anything else on it even when I had 2000 in my hands, I guess working on computers all day leaves you burnt out to do the little things to your home box)

New home computer
PIV 2.8
1024 meg DDR
A pair of striped 40's
DVD
CDRW
CD
Windows XP Pro w/ Office 2003 Pro (Sweet!)

Waiting on the DVDR but I have a feeling it won't be long.

Now I need to shut down and plug the new one in. Then tomorrow I'll bring home the 200gig USB2 drive and transfer all my files.

And the wife went from some POS dell desktop w/ Win 95 to a PIV 2.0 laptop with a 40 gig and 512 of DDR, burner, wireless card, etc. Also got her a port replicator so she can use her monitor, keyboard, etc and when she's ready to move she just undcoks and doesn't have to unplug any wires :cool:

ME is the best OS of our time.

I pity you.

[AnticorRifling]

Actually I liked Windows Bob. If it wasn't for ME being a resource monger I'd have no problems with it. It hasn't given me any problems since I put the 512 in it.

ME sucks out loud.

w00t for acquisitions, though.

Please... my father-in-law is in the commercial real estate field. He just kicked out a tenant, who was a cabinet fabricator, for being 10 months behind in his lease.

Can you say... free tools for me?? I got a beautiful chop saw, drill press, hammer drill, TONS of really nice hand tools, a security camera system and a nice set of cabinets I'll be putting in my garage.

Life is sweet... you may now refer to me as Mike Vila. :bleh:

Oh.. and if that didn't get you green with envy.. I also work at a hotel and get all the free porn I want. Who the hell would call back to the hotel and say "Um, yea.. I forgot my "Debbie Does Dallas" tape in the VCR. Can you send it back to me please?"

Porn rules.

I get all of my school supplies from work.

I would.

I saw 'Debbie Does Dallas' superbowl weekend.

I had no idea.
