OMG! I just asked my employee: "Did you get the memo?"
 
Remember the movie called "Office Space," with the manager who drove a 911SC? I think his name was Lumberg or similar.

"Uh, yeah."

"I'm gonna need you to come in again this weekend"

He walked around with a coffee cup and just talked over his staff.

Well, I manage a staff of Network Admins and Help Desk people, and I just asked a guy,

"Did you get the memo?"
And I had a cup of coffee in my hand.

:eek:

Am I becoming Lumberg? What do I do? :confused:

Just don't take my stapler, or I'll burn this place down.

You just had to get us started didn't you? :D

Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man, two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had a million dollars I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money.
Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well the kind of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
Peter Gibbons: Good point.
Lawrence: Well what about you now? what would you do?
Peter Gibbons: Besides two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Well yeah.
Peter Gibbons: Nothing.
Lawrence: Nothing, huh?
Peter Gibbons: I'd relax, I would sit on my asss all day, I would do nothing.
Lawrence: Well you don't need a million dollars to do nothing, man. Just take a look at my cousin, he's broke, don't do shiit.

didnt lumberg bang jennifer aniston? err,... i mean had intimate relations with jennifer aniston?

VenezianBlau 87 11-23-2004 08:39 AM

IIRC, it was another guy named "Lumberg" at a different company...

cowtown 11-23-2004 08:39 AM

Maybe we're all closet Lumbergs.

That movie is so great. I think it has changed and/or saved lives.

:D

All i gotta say is the white dude in the car listening to rap and the black dude walks by and he turns it down. Then he turns it back up after passing the black guy. Classic scene!

bryanthompson 11-23-2004 08:47 AM

Hahaha! that's awesome, man! A guy I used to work with was exactly like Lumberg, and then one day he watched the movie on Comedy Central and totally went nuts! Okay, so that didn't happen, but it'd be hilarious if it did!

I wanna be a gangsta...
 
Uhm, yeah...Peter, about those TPS reports...I'm going to...uhm, have to ask you to go ahead and come in this Saturday...oh, and...uhm...Sunday too....thaaaanks.

So, what is it that you actually do here?

FWIW: Swingline never made a red stapler.

GettinHeadStuds 11-23-2004 09:06 AM

Go away Lumberg, can't you see I'm busy?

Just watch out for viruses skimming fractions of a cent off of your transactions.

Loved the movie, hated the music. The movie really captured the bureaucratic office environment the same way "Spinal Tap" skewered the rock music scene.
