Doom Excuses... What to tell your boss when :


  A) You are suspected of playing DOOM:

       1) "Oh, that must have been my screensaver you saw!"

       2) "Those files are my Database program. DOOM stands for
           Database  Online Operational Management. Yeah, your
           right, 'WAD' is a pretty strange extension, isn't it?"

       3) "Yeah, I've heard some strange noises around here too.
           Rodents in  the HVAC ducts, maybe?"

  B) You are overheard playing DOOM:

       1) "Growling? Oh, that was probably my stomach you heard; I
           worked  straight through lunch today."

       2) "Chainsaw? No, I don't have a chainsaw in here. Mrs. Smith
           said  something about pruning the plants at the reception
           desk this morning, though; you might ask her."

       3) "I'm sorry, I didn't realize I was talking that loud. It
           was my  wife on the phone, we're not getting along lately.
           Thorny Brown Bastard? Ha! It's a long story, she hates it
           when I call her that."

  C) You are caught red-handed playing DOOM:

       1) "You know, this is a great screensaver but the damn thing
           keeps  locking up or something and I can't get it to go
           off."

       2) "It's the latest in CAD!"

       3) "It's an assertiveness training program."

       4) "It's supposed to be 'Barney's Jungle Adventure' - I just
           picked it up for the kid, you know; but it looks pretty
           warped to me."

       5) "I don't know what the hell it is, it said Lotus on the
           disk. Maybe we got some bad interference on the Net or
           something."

       6) "I hate to say this, but I'm pretty sure it's the
          'KillingGlee' VGA virus. Don't know how I could have
           picked it up. Only way to get rid of it is to play it out."
