Kerry, the only way I can keep a straight face is to sit on a drawing pin...of course you may have to resort to other methods such as sticking a ball point in your ear, or taping up the keyboard with duct tape, sticking your fingers into electrical sockets etc.

If none of these work for you, I sometimes >>>>whispers secretively<<<

Hi all.:)
My internet connection was acting up yesterday. This morning I had to read over 250 posts only on this thread:ph34r:

No time to read all the other threads, anything interesting going on somewhere else?

Scratch, your ankle feeling better?

And what do all you South Africans say about the Blue Bulls' victory. They kicked ass!!!!

I actually have two more pages of reading to catch up but i had to comment seeing as I believe I fall into the right sort of American category!

Good Morning all. Coffee is done so help yourself.

Ahh yes, the shuffling of papers. Nacmac, take care not to reveal any of the advanced Jedi tricks to people who are not ready for such knowledge...:o

Being a webmaster-kind of guy here at work, I like to shuffle the printout of the site-map and frown at it with a very concentrated look on my face, while typing a response to DZcom.:D The straight face thing doesn't work always though...

Oh its not just shuffling papers around that we should teach the novices. Sometimes I like to wander aimlessly around with a large folder muttering techno babble at any one who questions what I am up to....
My current favourite is to open a big complex spreadsheet on the screen, curse loudly then storm off for a ciggie, till the giggle fit subsides...

Well damn, that just broke my carefully constructed pokerface! I had to resort to the 'slouch down on the chair until monitor hides your face from the person opposite you'-maneuver.>:(;)

Many thanks.....want a Danish?

I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter

In this office we all have our own sections defined by 5ft screens. Trouble is I'm smack bang in the middle of the office where everyone walks past, so I've had to develop the following techniques so as not to be found out.

  • My browser window is only tall enough to read two lines at a time and is positioned at the top. The rest of the screen is taken up by something work related that looks important.
  • I usually type large posts in Notepad first. It's easier to disguise than the aforementioned browser window.
  • I always have my thumb and finger poised on the ALT-TAB when reading posts, especially when that small browser window has a picture of Erno, Kerry, or Muttley in it. (Pictures of Fins, cute babes and cartoon dogs aren't easy to explain away to people. ;))

If anyone has any more tips, let me know.

I stir feelings in others they themselves don't understand. KA'CHOW !

You can set in your "edit profile" that you don't want other peoples pics to be shown.

There was a discussion in "Suggestions and feedback" a while ago, where someone (I think Quade) suggested a stylesheet that would make the forums look like a spreadsheet. Alas, nothing came out of it.
