penguin climbers

4th of Feb, 2003ce* in: diary

Made a great analogy; people in the pub describing how the contract process works here at Babel, with people being sacked, put on the bottom of the list and waiting to get hired again (games testers and q&a quality controllers are on flexi contracts here). I compared it to those old battery powered toys you could get where the penguins climb the stairs and slide down the slide only to end up at the bottom of the stairs.

Well, you had to be there. Come to think of it only my manager laughed. I suppose thats key eh?

Went to Thumb Acres this evening, a weekly doo set up in the top room of an expensive pub where people can bring their consoles / games and play on a projector screen while drinking copious amounts of beer! Apparently this night is usually quite boring, numbering in about 4 or 5 attendees every time. However this evening was different! At one point there were twenty people in the room, all playing bishi bashi or some xbox game involving ducking and jumping, very hard and way too many pros in the room. We had full size dance mats to play dance dance revolution, however we played a few driving games like this too! like playing twister and driving a car at the same time, but left foot red makes you crash into a bus…
