Journal eno2001's Journal: WORK: My Co-workers Have a Lot to Contend With 4

I've griped here before about work. But now, it's equal time for my co-workers. Tell me, honestly. Does this look like the sort of IM you have with YOUR co-workers? (NOTE: "Gleek" used to be my "hax0r" and Quake name when I was in my 20s)

(14:49:55) AeonFlux: hello
(14:50:09) AeonFlux: Anyone home?
(14:50:13) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: Gleek is here.
(14:50:25) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: eno2001 is not available right now, but I'll try to be of assistance.
(14:51:14) AeonFlux: Ok Gleek, please tell Zan and Jayna that the graphics on the SUPERCOOL mail page need to be modified
(14:51:32) AeonFlux: Perhaps they can put their powers together to take the form of Paint Shop Pro?
(14:51:34) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: Do not worry. I can work on computers too: http://meekmok.com/muaddib/images/blog/evilgleek.jpg
(14:52:46) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: So you have a graphic that you need changed on the SUPERCOOL webmail page do you?
(14:52:55) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: I will do whatever I can to be of assistance.
(14:53:07) AeonFlux: Ok. Tell me where these graphics live :)
(14:53:08) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: I am, after all, Gleek. Computer hacker extraordinaire.
(14:54:19) AeonFlux: Ok, let's hack the mail page
(14:58:13) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: Which graphics do you need access to?
(14:58:21) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: I can gain root access to the mail server.
(14:59:04) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: I believe if I do a 'find /iplanet/server5 -name *.jpg' I can find some of the files...
(15:01:10) AeonFlux: Well, there are several graphics on that page
(15:01:29) AeonFlux: If you can send them to me, I can modify them and send them back
(15:02:11) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: Hmmm...
(15:02:17) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: I only know of one image.
(15:06:20) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: Hmmm... OK...
(15:06:25) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: I'm still searching.
(15:06:31) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: Gleek is on the job m'am.
(15:07:44) AeonFlux: Thank you, Gleek. Here's a banana
(15:09:33) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: Oh thank you. That's quite generous.
GLeek gets results as usual and mails them off as a ZIP file
(15:11:20) AeonFlux: Thank you!
(15:11:29) AeonFlux: I will work on these and get them back to you
(15:11:47) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: OK. Please return them with the identical names and in the single zip file.
(15:12:00) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: That will make it easire for Gleek the hacker monkey to work my magic...
(15:13:20) AeonFlux: Will do
(15:14:05) AeonFlux: Won't be today though...will take a bit longer than that
(15:14:15) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: OK.
(15:14:29) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: Well eno2001 should be back by then.
(15:14:43) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: I'm upwardly mobile.
(15:14:50) AeonFlux: Sounds good. While he's gone, you should cause havoc in his office
(15:14:52) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: I have drive, spirit and ambition.
(15:15:13) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: Oh no. eno2001 trusts me to keep it just the way it was when he went to his meeting.
(15:15:31) AeonFlux: Tell him his boss did it ;)
(15:16:25) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: That's no way for an upwardly mobile monkey such as myself to comport oneself.
(15:16:38) eno2001@leon.xxxxxxxx.org/Gaim: But, I'll take it under consideration for when I make it to the top.
(15:16:43) AeonFlux: You do that
