I remember my first couple of jobs when the internet wasn’t as useable and IT watched your computers like a hawk. You literally would spend hours staring at nothing or learning how to minimize solitaire super fast every time you heard footsteps.




Yep. I had this green screen Unix Terminal to do my help desk shite I worked on. We had an email client on it but there was no real easy way to minimize it.

The HR guy who hired most of us walked up on me emailing a buddy who was coming visit, "I'll come get you from the airport on time you frickin cocksucker. haha"

That was awkward. But he just laughed. Who the hell would eamil something like that through company email now?

I remember being pissed because Anniston had such a minor role. She was near peak of hotness.

It was difficult for me to watch, it too closely depicted my own life at that time, and made me realize how stupid I was for continuing to work where I did.

Does this look like Austin?

Google StreetView of that image

So I don't give a frick where it was 'filmed' if the opening scene is on 635 in Dallas and his neighbor, Lawrence, mentions working in Las Colinas. I said 'takes place' ole dickbutt arse from Zachary.

This movie mirrored my life when it came out. I was working a cubicle job in Houston at a company called Inteq.
