| 14:30.55 | CosmicPenguin | morning |
| 14:47.31 | CosmicPenguin | So the intel layoffs we knew were coming came |
| 14:51.06 | *** join/#edev redb1ue (i=star@ppp017.109-253-207.mtl.mt.videotron.ca) |
| 14:53.01 | prpplague | wow 10% |
| 14:56.48 | prpplague | lots of devrs gonna be looking for work |
| 14:56.57 | CosmicPenguin | They axed 1000 managers around the same time our layoffs happened |
| 14:57.26 | CosmicPenguin | So its plain that they're getting rid of the employees now - 10 people per manager = 10,000 |
| 14:57.51 | CosmicPenguin | gah - I hate moving my desk - its going to take me forever to get used to the new monitor setup |
| 14:58.22 | CosmicPenguin | like 5 |

| 16:00.58 | prpplague | http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/TV/09/01/tv.kyraphillips.letterman.ap/index.html |
| 16:01.12 | prpplague | hehe reminds me of that bit in naked gun with leslie nielson |
| 16:22.12 | jbevren | prpplague: http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTE1MywxLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA== |
| 16:25.18 | jbevren | gigabit NIC with 400mhz cpu and usb2.0 port |
| 16:28.30 | prpplague | yea saw that advertised the other day |
| 16:30.24 | jbevren | sick or stressed? |
| 16:30.49 | prpplague | stressed |
| 16:30.55 | jbevren | nod, that'll do it |
| 16:31.21 | prpplague | jbevren: worried about tuesday, and i'm totally stressed with all the details of moving back to the states |
| 16:31.48 | prpplague | jbevren: plane tickets, getting a place rented, shipping stuff, getting the kids registered for school |
| 16:32.09 | prpplague | jbevren: normally i don't worry about moving, but moving from overseas is different |
| 16:32.15 | prpplague | jbevren: already running into problems |
| 16:32.31 | jbevren | nod |
| 16:32.36 | prpplague | jbevren: TXU wants $1000 deposit since i've not had a residence in the country for a year |
| 16:32.39 | jbevren | changing schools will be one of the harder things |
| 16:32.49 | jbevren | ah, that too |
| 16:32.52 | jbevren | I wouldnt have seen that coming |
| 16:33.16 | jbevren | Does barbados have a second language? French or spanish? |
| 16:33.28 | jbevren | actually it wouldnt surprise me if english was the 'second' language |
| 16:33.29 | prpplague | no, only english |
| 16:33.34 | jbevren | gotcha |
| 16:33.40 | jbevren | so its an old british isle |
| 16:33.55 | jbevren | that wont be too bad for the kids then |
| 16:33.58 | prpplague | jbevren: the lower class here speak a kind of ebonics(sp?) |
| 16:34.10 | jbevren | its ebonics yeah |
| 16:34.15 | jbevren | the ebony language |
| 16:34.22 | jbevren | aka black-people speak |
| 16:34.27 | jbevren | I'm surprised they got away with using that term |
| 16:34.32 | prpplague | yea |
| 16:34.51 | prpplague | they just refer to it as "bajan dialect" |
| 16:34.58 | jbevren | but different sublanguages occur everywhere |
| 16:35.03 | prpplague | yea |
| 16:35.30 | prpplague | they basically drop alot of words and use the wrong tense |
| 16:36.26 | prpplague | "i got hit in my stomach" == "i get stick belly" |
| 16:37.47 | prpplague | jbevren: most people associate the carib accent with a jamaican accent |
| 16:37.59 | prpplague | jbevren: it really varies from island to island |
| 16:38.03 | jbevren | isnt jamaican french-rooted? |
| 16:38.13 | prpplague | jbevren: no, english |
| 16:38.15 | jbevren | really |
| 16:38.19 | jbevren | man the stuff I dont know |
| 16:38.19 | jbevren | hehe |
| 16:38.29 | jbevren | so most of the isles are english? |
| 16:39.07 | prpplague | jbevren: yea, 98% are english |
| 16:39.15 | jbevren | ahh ok |
| 16:39.16 | prpplague | jbevren: a few speak a kind of creole |
| 16:39.31 | prpplague | jbevren: and just a couple speak french or spanish |
| 16:39.49 | prpplague | jbevren: aruba, spanish, curacao - french |
| 16:39.58 | jbevren | ah ok |
| 16:40.05 | prpplague | i think bonair is french iirc |
| 16:40.26 | prpplague | jbevren: aruba , bonair, curacao are refered to as the ABC islands |
| 16:42.06 | jbevren | gotcha |
| 16:43.06 | T0mW | prpplague: moving back to Texas? |
