Another computer knocked over yesterday. The tech team does not like the way these machines are set up, it seems. Wonder why. Now that computer has a corrupt file and is getting a full reinstall.

We're looking for a team name. There were a number of suggestions. So far, the ones that have not been totally rejected involve "angels", "lucky burritos", and "monkeys". dustraven suggested "Death Monkeys", and I got "Team Rocket" up for consideration in the team group chat, and I was also thinking about things involving chainsaws or zombies.

And then there was the guy who was talking about Star Wars in the team group chat. I'm not sure if I've got that chat log, but it was priceless.

Have taken first live calls. Started out with massive, massive stage fright. Getting better. hcolleen made me take the first three calls. At least the queue is pretty low.

How about "Rocket Monkeys"?

A team I was on was "Tye's Flying Monkeys". Tye was our supervisor, and of course flying monkeys were as the wizard of Oz. This of course involved motivational pictures with photoshop images of Tye as the wicked witch of the West, going "Fly my pretties, fly!"

Ooo, that sounds like a potentially good one. ...Or bad one.

I would go for Code Monkeys, myself, except we don't code and we might like our jobs and there's sort of a dearth of hot female receptionists.

Buckets of LOL. Thank <lj user="rahaeli" for that one

She is love.

heh, heh. I suggested "Flying Monkeys" to the group based on that, because it has the Oz thing going for it, and it also has the "And later? Monkeys might fly out my ass!" thing.

Our team was planning having coordinated Halloween costumes- we were all going as Monkeys, except Tye who had to be the wicked witch.
