Sometimes I actually love my job.... like right now.

Okay, so, our company has been pushing the IT department like crazy the last few months to try and get us PCI compliant. Morale for everyone was getting pretty low, and several of the guys were on the verge of quitting. So today we had an emergency call with all the IT department, and as a gesture of good faith they are giving everyone (thats like 20 guys) $1500 to spend on electronics for personal use (ie, to take home). I am FUCKING ECSTATIC right now. Right now my list is a 50" TV, a decent stand, a Wii U, and some games.

I'm seriously ready to faint right now.

 

[Logan]

[Tarvis]

[SuperAfroBoy]

Well, I sent my list to corporate. Lets see if they approve of buying a bunch of video games.

 

[SuperAfroBoy]

heh, they asked if i could find the items somewhere other than ebgames, so i found them all at bestbuy but i had to swap the zombiu bundle for just the deluxe, which i'm fine with.

 

[Tarvis]

You still have ebgames?!

 

[SuperAfroBoy]

Yeah, they never switched the Canadian ones to Gamestop.

 

[Lulu]

lucky. gamestop is the pits!

 

[Tarvis]

I use to love that ebgames in the mall way back when. F u gamestop.

 

[SuperAfroBoy]

Well, the only difference is the name, it's still gamestop

 

[SuperAfroBoy]

well, the TV i had on my list is now out of stock, so I shuffled it around a bit and was able to get another of the same size and had room for another 3DS game, so i added project x zone. looks interesting, has anyone here tried it yet?

 

[Tarvis]

I'll be honest, never heard of it.

 

[SuperAfroBoy]

yeah, i hadn't either but i saw it as a featured game on bestbuy and looked it up, seems alright and i couldn't think of anything else.

 

[SuperAfroBoy]

supposed to finally get an update on our shopping lists this week. the VP of IT wants to review the lists before any purchases are made, and he's getting back from a business trip in india this week.

HUZZAH

 

[SuperAfroBoy]

FUUUUUUUUUU

finally got confirmation that my list was NOT approved. they didn't specify what wasn't approved, but I assume it was the gaming stuff. so now i need to build a new list.
