GAIA'S TIME LINE

[saphira_legend]

LabTech126

If I could make a small request... our research tools are kinda bulky right now. Do you think you could get us tools that are new and shiny and can fit in pockets??

This is the best job that I've ever had the privilege of working. Thank you, Gambino. It's fun and exciting meeting new people, and working on such interesting things.

OH! and I met this really interesting woman the day I interviewed. LabTech912. I swear that I'd never met her before, and as luck would have it, she and I got put in the same department. It will be nice to get to know someone like her, but I would never even think of having any kind of relationship with her. No-sir-ee bob. Not me. I'm very good at adhering to company policies, especially those regarding workplace relationships.

Thank you again Mr.Gambino for giving me this opportunity.

LabTech 912

This is the most fun job that I've had since I worked at the food court at the mall. Thank you Mr. Gambino for giving me this opportunity. biggrin I met this really nice man the first day that I worked here, and I think that he's into me... But, since this is the funnest job ever (Thank you Mr. Gambino) and I don't want to lose it, I'm going to have to keep to myself, and not let LabTech126 get any ideas. redface

These secret labs are so much fun to work in, but, it's sometimes a little lonely and dark in here. Maybe LabTech126 can keep me company. Girls, you know what I mean. wink

By the way... Thank you Mr. Gambino for the most wonderful job ever! whee

ninja When the labTechs go to their proper jobs, Gambino wrote this in his journal ninja

New Day, New Hires...

Things are proceeding according to plan. The lead architect informs me that the facility is roughly 90% complete. He assures me that it will be fully operational in 14 days. I gave him 7. I LOVE doing that. It's just like on an episode of Star Trek TNG when Picard would ask Geordi to do something, and then Geordi would tell Picard an arbitrary number of time, and then Picard would tell him to do it in half the time. That Picard was a smart one. It just goes to show that employees always give their bosses BS timeframes. You work in this business long enough and you learn these things. Take it from me.

Speaking of lousy employees. I've just had another series of hires at the facility. Hopefully, these guys will fare more successful than the last batch.

I've a few business meetings to attend to at the Durem Reclamation Facility today. Apparently, some of the water samples and specimens taken from there will help with forward the research going on in my secret test facility underneath my mansion.

I can't wait to see what results will come of it. I can feel my grin growing even wider twisted

I woke up today thinking today is going to be a great day, but so far it's been miserable.

The first thing that happened to me today was that I wanted to get some coffee at the break room, but when I got to the break room there was coffee powder all over the floor. That damn green rabbit was at it again, going through the cabinets and biting holes in all of the coffee bags. Any hoot I don't get my coffee fix and ended up drinking hot water instead. crying

The morning didn't end as just that. My boss came up to me and asked me to do a preliminary benchmark testing. What the hack is that? Of course I didn't want to tell him that I don't know what's a preliminary benchmark testing is. "No Problem," is all I said and ran back to my work bench. sweatdrop I could ask that new guy for some help, but I'm embarrassed to ask.

What am I going to do? What a crappy day it's turning out to be.

I just moved here just a few days ago but already I am making new friends. Tomorrow a few other G Corp employees are gonna blow off some steam at the casino. Blackjack table here I come! I once won 20000 gold in a single hand. Skillz, baby. Mad skillz.

Mr. Gambino gave me an advance on my paycheck this week since I was a little short on cash. I guess he is friends with just about everyone.

Isle of Gambino is probably one of the most beautiful islands anywhere. I love my new apartment (furnished courtesy of Johnny K. Gambino himself). I have an excellent view of the sun as it sets on the water each night. Things are working out even better than I expected. I just wish I had more time to spend at the beach. Right now I feel buried at work. There is so much to learn! My four semesters of O-Chem at GSU are a distant memory. Here at G-Corp they seem to be working at a whole new level.
Oh well. New employees get four days of paid vacation a year so I plan to do a lot of beach-combing with my metal detector next summer.

I've had a good morning! People always say that Tuesdays are a drag, but they obviously haven't worked in a secret underground test facility before! blaugh

Today, my boss LabTech247 showed me the new pets for our group. They are soooo cute!! heart I can't believe that G CORP supplies us with pets for our own entertainment! That totally rawks my sawks!! I didn't even know that rabbits came in green and purple colors! eek

I also met the new guy LabTech722. He looks like a smart guy. Although everyone around here looks smart to me. They all talk about complex stuff like multiplication and stuff. I have no idea what they are talking about. But who cares?! I wORK in a SECRET UNDERGROUND TEST FACILITY!! domokun

I got my cot today! Now, I am able to sleep next to my work! If an inspiration comes at 3 in the morning, BOOYAKA I can work on it! I can contribute to G Corp all the time now; I am going to ask Mr. Gambino to move my personal belongings into the labs as well. I appreciate the apartment he provided me here on the Isle, but I feel so disconnected from G Corp when I go home. When I walk into the office in the morning, and it takes me 5 minutes to get everything organized to start the day. That's not acceptable to me! Those five minutes could be important in my research. Living in house is clearly the best option. I was originally going to just sleep under my desk, but when I heard that it could hamper my productivity, I quickly changed my mind.

I only wish that I didn't have to fill out so many forms just to get my cot. I had to fill out an Application to Request a Form for Equipment Requisition (FFEQ - 2279), and then once I got approved, I had to fill out the Equipment Request Requisition Form (ERRF - 57). Once I filed my FFEQ and got my ERRF, I had to get three signatures in triplicate, and only then did I get my cot! Now I have to fill out a Form to Request a Form Acknowledging Receipt of Equipment Requisition (FRFAREQR - 22) and the Form Acknowledging Receipt of Equipment Requisition (FAREQR - 24). All this time spent on forms, detracting from valuable G Corp time!

I'm going to make up all that lost time tonight though! I'll just drink a lot of coffee. Maybe I'll also ask about the Graveyard Shifts that people have been gossiping about. By living here at G Corp, I could work my day shift and my night shift! I'll be the best employee G Corp has ever seen!

Today I was going to try to take off early from work. I heard about this great little card game in Durem ... anyways, I worked straight through lunch so I could punch out a few minutes early and get a head start on the trip.
I was waiting with this guy at the elevator. The elevator takes a long time to reach our floor since we work at sublevel 29. I made some comment about how I was glad it was almost happy hour.

He said, "going home now? but its only 6:30 PM! " I think his name was Labtech247, but I'm not sure because I'm still learning everyone's name and I was embarrassed to ask because I know he had already introduced himself to me before.
He had some line about how he was just going to the cafeteria to stock up on some food so he wouldn't have to leave the lab as often. "Never enough hours in the day", he laughed. Then he said something about getting a cot so he could work straight through the night.
What a loser! I mean jeeez. Gotta take your job that seriously, man? Its just a job, after all.

My name is Labtech013, clearance level 5. I have only worked for G CORP for the past 5 years, but in those 5 years, I have climbed the corporate ladder faster than anyone else. However, recently I have stumbled upon something I should not have stumbled upon. My findings were unbelievable... I simply cannot describe the magnitude of this project that we are working on. It is evil. I cannot continue my work... OH GOD... what have we done?!

Oh no... someone's found me out...Oh no, what will they do to my family?! GOD NO. Julia... little Nicki... I must be get out here and warn them before it's too--


We regret to inform you that LabTech013 is no longer employed at G CORP. He was let go with the last series of layoffs. Please do not attempt to contact him through this address any further. Thank you for your cooperation.

ninja after the "disappearence" of LabTech 013, this is what Gambino wrote in his journal ninja

HOOPLA and All that Jazz...

OH HO HO HO... it seems that LabTech013's antics have raised a stink in the Gaian public.

Let me reassure all Gaians that there is nothing fishy going on underneath my mansion. First of all, LabTech013 isn't really even a LabTech. He is/was one of my construction workers. He is/was such a drama queen. By secret underground test facility, I simply meant new swimming pool/jacuzzi combo. You see, my son Gino's birthday is coming up on October 31st and he wants to invite all of his friends over to the mansion to hang out. I, being the gracious father figure that I am, simply just wanted to provide him with a swimming pool/jacuzzi combo so that his friends will think he is cool(cause he wouldn't be otherwise rolleyes ). I merely call the construction project "Secret Underground Test Facility" for fun. Really, nothing to be worried about. domokun

So.... anyways... Mr Gambino has this new policy that we should keep a journal. redface He says that it's something about company morale. I don't really know, though. It's not like he's going to have the time when he's running around all day like his head is cut off or something to read all these journals to make sure that we're keeping them. blaugh

Oh well. I'll just use mine to write down all the stuff I think about all day. xd

Guess What? There's this place I order lotions and body sprays and candles from, and they just came out with their wintertime scents! OH MY. There's this one callled "Vanilla Bean Noel" biggrin which is almost better than the last one I got from there ("Warm Vanilla Sugar"). It smells soooo gooood. Every time I put it on (and my dry hands always need it) it makes me crave candy, cake and frappichinos. OOh, that sugar tooth, it'll be my undoing. (among other things) xp
