-
- What to tell your boss when:
-
-
-
-
- A) You are suspected of playing DOOM:
-
- 1) "Oh, that must have been my screensaver you saw!"
-
- 2) "Those files are my Database program. DOOM stands for Database Online
- Operational Management. Yeah, your right, 'WAD' is a pretty strange
- extension, isn't it?"
-
- 3) "Yeah, I've heard some strange noises around here too. Rodents in the
- HVAC ducts, maybe?"
-
-
-
- B) You are overheard playing DOOM:
-
- 1) "Growling? Oh, that was probably my stomach you heard; I worked straight
- through lunch today."
-
- 2) "Chainsaw? No, I don't have a chainsaw in here. Mrs. Smith said
- something about pruning the plants at the reception desk this morning,
- though; you might ask her."
-
- 3) "I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was talking that loud. It was my wife on
- the phone, we're not getting along lately. Thorny Brown Bastard? Ha!
- It's a long story, she hates it when I call her that."
-
-
-
- C) You are caught red-handed playing DOOM:
-
- 1) "You know, this is a great screensaver but the damn thing keeps locking
- up or something and I can't get it to go off."
-
- 2) "It's the latest in CAD!"
-
- 3) "It's an assertiveness training program."
-
- 4) "It's supposed to be 'Barney's Jungle Adventure' - I just picked it up
- for the kid, you know; but it looks pretty warped to me."
-
- 5) "I don't know what the hell it is, it said Lotus on the disk. Maybe we got
- some bad interference on the Net or something."
-
- 6) "I hate to say this, but I'm pretty sure it's the 'KillingGlee' VGA virus.
- Don't know how I could have picked it up. Only way to get rid of it is to
- play it out."
