Official SGT ADD thread
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Re: Official SGT ADD thread
Another telephone story.
I got a call from a Pac Bell tech who was shooting trouble on one of our brand new super wizz bang solid state switches. It had just been installed and was casters up.
I had him run a few tests. Nothing worked. ABout ten minutes into the call he asked if he could take a break to cool off. "Whadda mean cool off?" I asked.
The tech said the system had been installed in a room on the roof of a warehouse and the temp inside was over 100 degrees. I told him the maximum temp the system would work in was 80 degrees.
He got the warehouse manager on the phone and I repeated the temp parameters. The manager told me to hold on and put the tech back on the phone. All of a sudden I heard a huge crash over the phone. "What was that?" I asked.
"He just threw a chair through the window." the tech replied.
The room cooled down immediately and the manager promised to have an air conditioner installed the next day.
I like guys who take action.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.
