| Quote (Jimbo @ 12 2004 Sep.,01:49) | | Quote (dafrca @ 31 2004 Aug.,18:30) | | I do not hide it per say, but I do not spotlight it either. If someone (a non-gamer) asks I offer some info and try to gage their interest to the level of detail. But I do agree, there are a lot of my co-workers who do not know I am a gamer because I just do not want to deal with it. |
When I first read this I thought this is my viewpoint.
It was only today when I remembered that my Felix Gaming Pages actually got me three job interviews and out of those I was actually offered two of the jobs. |
Yes, I could see in this case the work of the website matched somewhat the work you are doing. But in my case neither the minis, military history, nor painting links to my work.

Hi!
As in my case. When I ever talk about the hobby in my profession I get a lot of "odd" looks....

Ummm....being that I work for the Postal Service, anything that shoots is , ah, a no-no. You can't even think about it.  However, rubber band balls do make fine projectiles!

Twatting your co-workers with rubber bands whilst having decent music coming through the head phones is just pure heaven.
Plus I always wander over to chat to the call takers  .

I got clocked in the head with a 20 pound bundle of catalogs once. Saw stars. The Feral Ork that supposedly missed the container he was throwing at and hit me has since moved on to torture some other people in another office.

Rubber bands are excellent weapons of office war. When I moved to the department I'm currently working in my coworkers orgainsed a big "office fight" for my farewell party. The janitor probably cursed us in the following morning because of all the rubber bands lying around... 
Re: Primarch. I guess you can't get everything. I could use some more money to get all the Epic minis I want. Like $5000 a month or so...

We found that pens rubbed on poison dart frogs are good for work battles.Along with snapping tutles, these help keep most staff and customers at an acceptable distance.
Actualy this could explain the high turn over of staff for a while.
As for gaming, they call it 'monkey touching' and have built up some kind of religion around the stange boxes and odd objects that used to turn up at work.Combine this with deliveries of armour and weapons(thank you iblisdrax and all postal workers) and the staff assumed I was well...odd 
Cheers.

You are very welcome. I for one have used a number of bits and pieces from work on Epic projects. And I havent bought rubber bands in years.
