March 15, 2002 - Temp Chat 9!  USA, A-OK!

Unable to think up a decent theme for this week's temp chat, I decided to get back to the basics.  Just being a temp, seeking same:

*** Now talking in #myths&legends

<notmydesk> hey
<pengi> well if it's not my desk whose desk is it?
<notmydesk> glad you asked!
<notmydesk> see, i'm a temp
<notmydesk> i mean, i do temp work
<notmydesk> so i sit at a desk, but it's not mine
<SugarPlumFairie> Okay
<notmydesk> so you now understand just how fiercely clever my nickname is
<pengi> yes, it is devious of you
<SugarPlumFairie> I sit at everyones desk
<notmydesk> you should try temping sometime
<SugarPlumFairie> I have
<notmydesk> oh yeah? didja like it?
<SugarPlumFairie> Yep
<SugarPlumFairie> Now I just sit at my bosses desk with my legs in the air
<notmydesk> wow
<notmydesk> that's one way to get a promotion

Of course, that gets boring after a while, so I switched over to being a jackass, seeking victims:

*** Now talking in #xtc

<notmydesk> hi there
<Joel> hello
<foogly> joel how come
<foogly> u didnt reply back when i asked how u were
<notmydesk> he doesn't like you
<foogly> i r sad now
<Joel> because you were addressing "stoner friends"
<foogly> but ur my stoner friend :P
<notmydesk> he doesn't like you a LOT
<notmydesk> perhaps because of your one-letter representations of words
 
*** You were kicked by Joel

Hmph.  Finally, I thought it might be fun to pretend I was a foreigner.  A foreigner... seeking only friends.

Of course, when one pretends one is foreign, others will naturally want to know where one comes from.  Having limited knowledge of other countries, I found a clever way to handle questions regarding my homeland.  See if you can spot my strategy in action!

*** Now talking in #SanJose_Cafe

<notmydesk> hello you all!
<PlagueRat> hello nmd
<notmydesk> I am new in a country! i am looking for seeing news!
<notmydesk> i also am enjoy many times in cafe for coffee!

<notmydesk> yes, i am!
<notmydesk> so, we see many news together from now on!
<notmydesk> i am seeing for news! am also seeing for temporary work!
<PlagueRat> notmydesk - which country????
<notmydesk> Plaquerat! This country!
<notmydesk> I here am now! For staying and seeing news and seeing work as a temp
<PlagueRat> notmy - your grammar is not that of a native english speaker...
<notmydesk> no, I am seeing california at this present
<notmydesk> and looking as temp for job! temping USA A-OK!
<notmydesk> ha ha! I make funny joke do you see?
<_Natalie_> I dont feel like going to work
<_Natalie_> I dont want too
<notmydesk> if you not wish to work, i can perhaps do job for you for three days! for temporary!
<notmydesk> and then I STEAL job from YOU LAZY AMERICAN!  HA HA HA!

They got wise to me pretty quickly after that.  Hardly surprising.  Still, I thought it might be worth another try elsewhere:

*** Now talking in #newbies
