OK, you all have fun. I'll sit here at work eagerly awaiting quittin' time!

I DID make the effort to download the game this AM before leaving, but it wasn't there yet. :-(

Now I have the e-mail but can't do anything with it yet. Grrr ....

I am DEFINITELY leaving early today!

I am driving home at lunch and starting the d/l, and I may just call it a day....

Fake having a stomach ailment. You don't have to do anything cheesy like faking a cough, and no one really wants to deal with the possible effects of a stomach issue in a workspace, so they won't bar your way to the door.

right there with you .. I own my own company so if I wanted to I could play it but the office computers are pretty old and I'm unsure if it will run here .. gonna shut everything down and give it a try in an hour or so

very good idea

I have my laptop with me and I might go down to starbucks at lunch and download it but then I would have to go back to work which would make it much harder of a afternoon.

zukes · 03-22-2007, 02:23 PM

I wussed out and came back to work. My game is downloaded but I didn't dare activate it. I will get into it when I get home, but my wife is making me go to our last pre-natal class, then the Flames are on when I get home and there's beer in the fridge. I will be multi-tasking!!!!

bphilipb · 03-22-2007, 03:21 PM

I went home and downloaded the game but didn't activate yet. I will do that when I get home but boy was I tempted.

Tried that this morning but my email was screwed and I never got the e-mail for the download site. Had to PM Marc when I got back to work to get it. Never got the chance on my lunch hour

. Oh yes I would have messed with it at work.

Zukes, I know what you mean. My wife's baby shower is Saturday and she has a honey-do list a mile long to prepare for the event. I will take the old laptop down to the garage and down-load and bang things around to make it seem like I am working. Luckily being 7 weeks away from our due date she usually conks out pretty early.

okcyankee · 03-22-2007, 04:53 PM

I HATE WORK!!!!

Psst, don't tell my boss that though.

40 minutes to go!!!

grandpa1001 · 03-22-2007, 04:57 PM

Attending that pre-natal class with your wife might even buy you a couple days of free time. Good call.

She might multitask too!

MattH3322 · 03-22-2007, 05:20 PM

I never went to Starbucks. I work for another 2 1/2 hours, hour drive home, hour with the kids, then I can play. Only 4 1/2 to go.

Puckett guy · 03-22-2007, 05:32 PM

Yea, today I downloaded and was playing it at work when the boss comes up to my desk and asks "why aren't you working?" The best answer I could come up with was "well... because I didn't see you coming."

darkcloud4579 · 03-22-2007, 05:34 PM

Playing now at work. Mostly just trying to get setup and navigate around. I won't really get immersed until I get home in a few hours.
