Precognition be damned.

For the last days at the studio I´ve been doing some tests of CG water simulation for a commercial, so when I get to the office I cheerfuly say the supervisor “I´m going to get wet!”, next thing I know I´m skidding down the office on a poodle of water, if a guy didn´t grab me by the arm I´d had ended up flat on my face or down on my ass.
The water cooler had sprung a leak, and since A) the floor is very smooth and B) this is a no shoes area I looked as if I was practicing a ice skatting routine on drugs.

I saw coming what I didn´t see coming, what a rip off.

Is this a shaggy dog story?

Here, have a Scooby cookie…

PUDDLE, A PUDDLE of water!

:smack:

Skidding by the balls of your feet over the poodles eh? One could almost say…poodle balling?

I can´t confirm or deny your slander until you explain what poodle balling is.

A poodle? Perhaps it was raining cats and dogs.

Okay, that was pretty lame. It didn’t even make sense, it was a watercooler leak.

You realize, of course, that having made that Freudian slip, you will shortly be greeted by, and then slip on, a curly-haired, rat-like mutt, don’t you?

Just a heads up.

Did you swim in the poodle, or did you have to dogpaddle?

Here’s how urbandictionary.com defines the phrase.

Actually, I’m more interested in this part of your OP geeks out at CG animation and simulation.

I can’t wait to get home and out from behind my workplace firewall to find out what the hell “Lexus Gallivanting” is.

No, they have a 70s retro office with shag carpet and wood paneling. Everyone sits around and reads “Love Story” and doodles peace signs on the conference table.

I deny, I deny everything!!!

I work on a VFXs studio, mostly doing commercials and a movies*, I´m mostly, a character animator, but I caan take any other kind of job too.

*(I´ve worked on this one so far , quite good story but the direction could have been better. I was in charge of that ugly cat that appears for all of 3 frames, I had to do a rather complex rig and all the animation, about 15 shots/5 minutes. I finished two months ahead of schedule. :cool:

What a gyp. At work, my firewall says the page is blocked for sex language or sex acts. At home, the page just says the term isn’t defined yet.
