Bored at work...wanna talk

Mustang_grl · 05-01-2003, 12:22 PM

Hey everyone, I just wanted to see if anyone had anything interesting to talk about?

msunickb · 05-01-2003, 12:41 PM

No, nothing interesting to talk about but I'm bored at work too!

Shaun Barcelow · 05-01-2003, 02:05 PM

I'm FINALLY bored at work. I've been in meetings all morning and didn't get lunch until 2:15 PM. Being bored is a nice change of pace today.

Mustang_grl · 05-01-2003, 02:26 PM

Nothing interesting at all?????
come on...pick something!!

GodStang · 05-01-2003, 03:21 PM

If a perfectly stright line only touches a perfect circle at one point and a point does not exisit. It is just a representation. If we made perfect circle tires and a perfectly stright line roads would we be floating???? How would we stop?

Something to think about at work.

msunickb · 05-01-2003, 03:37 PM

What the hell does that mean? Anyway....

My dad just moved to Aiken, SC!!! I'm going to be going down there the end of this month for a week in a half or so for vacation. If you see a new Audi A6 driving around with a short, kind of salt and pepper haired man driving it...say hi.

Mustang_grl · 05-01-2003, 04:03 PM

Hey its finally time to go home...Have a good night...talk with you all tomorrow!!!!!

msunickb · 05-01-2003, 04:05 PM

Holy, it is time to go home!! Woo Hoo!!! I actually became un-bored shortly after I said I was bored, thats why I forgot it was time to go. Well, off into the dreery (sp?) day I go.

blue00gt · 05-01-2003, 05:06 PM

That's not fair! I'm bored on West coast time here and you all went home! Just remember that if you are bored at work and getting paid for it you are luckier than most...
Thank god for internet access at work.

msunickb · 05-01-2003, 05:14 PM

Praise the Lord!!! I'm sure I'll be back tomorrow...

frdgrl · 05-01-2003, 05:40 PM

Hey Ya'll!

Well, ya'll get to go home from work, just when I get started with my boring work day. That just doesn't seem fair.

Uhm, isn't that a tangent?

Rev

GodStang · 05-01-2003, 06:50 PM

ya it is a tangent but it never touches because a point does not exist. What part of aiken did he move to? It is a small town.

Rev · 05-01-2003, 07:01 PM

There is a point on that arc where ithe tangent does touch. The truth is that the tire "flattens" to create a contact patch on the pavement. Therefore no true arc is ever present and therefore not a "point". That "contact patch" is an area with a coefficient of friction that provides traction that we performance "nuts" so appreciate.

msunickb · 05-01-2003, 07:25 PM

Hey GodStang, he moved near or in a golf subdivision of some sort. I think its called Cedar Creek but I couldn't remember, just found that searching the web. I'm 90 percent sure though. In fact I think he is moving into his house today or tomorrow. They moved down there about 2 weeks ago and rented an appt. because his house wasn't done yet.

From the few pictures I've seen it not only looks like a small town but a pretty cool one.

Sicy Stang · 05-01-2003, 08:05 PM

I'm always bored at work. right now I'm pissed cuz when I came home there was a van blocking my garage at my apartment building so I had to park in the lot

People have a tendency to f*uck with my car

msunickb · 05-01-2003, 09:01 PM

That was one of the biggest reasons I bought a house as soon as I could after I turned 21, I had a 95 prelude living in an appt. and people were always f**king with my car. Mostly kids with parents that didn't give a damn unfortunately.

Hey, I work in Aiken, SC. There is a dragstrip in Jackson, SC, about 15-20 minutes away. Now in't that special...

msunickb · 05-01-2003, 11:36 PM

Wow, thats crazy. I had something similar the other day looking through a stang newsgroup, a guy that said he had just moved to the Grand Rapids area (where I live) ended up living about 4 or 5 blocks from me. He stopped by last weekend w/his stang while I was out washing mine.

Its a small world!
