Heruka:
I am officially sick of winter. It's depressing, there are no leaves on the trees, and I'm cold all of the time.

Heruka:
Of course, had I the ability to snuggle up to the warmth of Cushca's bosom, then things would be just fine.

bela:
By the way Heruka, I asked the old man about his tools last night and he said that his threader was $5000 and that a good wrench can cost a few hundred so there you big boob.

Heruka:
The boat that I loked at Saturday looked like this one. Not as big though. Same lines. Perhaps a foot or two small.

Decoy:
Nice lathe.
(Mon Oct 29, 2001 - 10:57:27 am)

Myk Murphy:
Hard to type on this phone with numb fingers.
(Mon Oct 29, 2001 - 10:58:17 am)

Decoy:
numb thumbs?
(Mon Oct 29, 2001 - 10:59:17 am)

Chewing Wax:
Cold in his office.
(Mon Oct 29, 2001 - 10:59:37 am)

Myk Murphy:
I remember using the lathe in shop class, eighth grade. Cool tool.

The verbs blow, lose, and toss

Heruka:
Are you suggesting tools are kids toys? Below you now, perhaps?
(Mon Oct 29, 2001 - 11:05:53 am)

Myk Murphy:
Yes, wax, very cold. Had a great weekend on the penn-nj border. Nice river towns. Found a good spiced wine.

Heruka:
What kind of skill or brain power does it take to work with computers? Math? Physics? Not much from what I've seen. It's the worst industry in the world. Nothing works like it should. Until you computer geeks actually prove to me you know what you're doing, stuff it, Murphy.
(Mon Oct 29, 2001 - 11:08:39 am)

Myk Murphy:
Hardly, h. I just haven`t used one since. Touchy!
(Mon Oct 29, 2001 - 11:10:29 am)

Heruka:
Not us, we're most definately moving. Probably within the next year. Someplace warm. Florida? Arizona? California? Only time will tell.
(Mon Oct 29, 2001 - 11:11:11 am)

Myk Murphy:
Are there some occupational issues you need to work out, heruka?
(Mon Oct 29, 2001 - 11:12:59 am)

bela:
I think Heruka just insulted the way Wax and Decoy make their livings. If it wasn't for computers, what would they be doing?
(Mon Oct 29, 2001 - 11:16:11 am)

bela:
I think Wax would be good at comic books.
(Mon Oct 29, 2001 - 11:16:42 am)

Heruka:
Yeah, I have no idea where I'm going or what I'm doing in life. The machining industry is heading out of the countries. A victim of its own evolution. People don't know what's happening anymore. They just push a button. Very little knowledge involved. I'll manage. I'm thinking of changing over to either civil or something like that. All I really know is a machine shops.
(Mon Oct 29, 2001 - 11:17:37 am)

Heruka:
They'd be shoveling shit is what they'd be doing. Computers has allowd a lot of dumb people to earn a lot of money. I'm resentful. Not they Decoy is dumb or anything.
(Mon Oct 29, 2001 - 11:19:28 am)

bela:
What the hell are you going on about? Buttons and machine shops? Wha?
(Mon Oct 29, 2001 - 11:20:15 am)

Heruka:
It's a matter of supply and demand I know. But the bubble is burst. All the hacks will be out of jobs soon, if they aren't already. I laugh! Ha Ha ha Ha !!!
(Mon Oct 29, 2001 - 11:21:29 am)

bela:
Ha ha, thats funny.
(Mon Oct 29, 2001 - 11:21:40 am)

Heruka:
The machines have gotten too smart. The average employee doesn't need to understand math, or metallurgy, or anything like that. They just push a button.
(Mon Oct 29, 2001 - 11:22:52 am)

bela:
Well, yeah. A lot of those kids that were making $150,000 a year just out of college in the dot com madness spent millions and millions and lost millions and millions. None of them have jobs and lost everything. Yeah, I don't really care it was just a sad waste of money. But really, who the fuck would buy catfood online? My friend is the top of the "digerati" here in NYC and hes so fucking pompous sometimes. He started his own software company and hes had some good jobs for Clinique and Avon, but I wonder what will happen to him. But the amounts of money people were making at his last job - he was the CTO at this online trading cards company - is just un fucking real.

Mrs Dr GB:
So: our lives are easier? That's what you're cross about? Having an easier life?
(Mon Oct 29, 2001 - 11:25:50 am)

Mrs Dr GB:
Let it be known: I bloody love the internet. Yes. Yes I do.
(Mon Oct 29, 2001 - 11:26:15 am)

bela:
Not to mention what it did to the economy. Its basically amounts to greed if you ask me, from my perspective here in NYC anyway.
(Mon Oct 29, 2001 - 11:26:22 am)

bela:
Not me man.

Heruka:
The internet is a big catalogue. It's also good to send business related files over. And a company and their client can work together in real time while in seperate locations. But for the catalogues, Except for bits and pieces, it sems to have failed. The sears catalogue went out of business less than ten years ago, did people really think they can do the same with the internet? Apparently so. It's great to get those hard to find items off it, but that's it.

Mrs Dr GB:
Apart from that: it's dark outside. Already. I blame the farmers.
