        I was terrified the first time I played the game. I didn't get "Doom dreams" but we would dial the volume up on the speakers to get maximum effective crap your pants effects. :)

            Yeah, I know what you mean. That first "dark area" ... Even now the sound of an Arch-Vile seeing you raises the hair on the back of my neck. You knew there was trouble when you heard that!

              :omg: :wtf: :omg: :wtf: My current job's about as far from that as you can get. There's normally beer in the fridge where I work, might even be some free for all left overs from the holiday party (vs a few people who bring their own in), and in the last few months the boss's brought in enough champagne and tequila to give everyone who wanted one a drink during the workday day. :-\ :cool: For better and worse that's really about the extent to which this company really does have "startup culture". :rolleyes:

Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint.

                    Well for me it's the Construction Industry, Once your full time you get a high-vis jacket etc. I have only worn it three times twice on a customer site, once 'cause it was raining and I didn't want to get my usual coat wet. How can I get a job where you get tequila for elevenes...

                      Work for a small SW co with a boss trying to be cool. The champagne was when a few big contracts he'd been chasing for months came in right before Christmas. Dunno what the Tequila was for, he asked if I wanted a shot at 4:50pm on a Friday. I declined because it conflicted with my 0% alcohol when driving policy; and I never found out if he was celebrating landing something or just splurged on a bottle of Patrón and wanted to share.
