Default Bored at work

I work in IT so when everythings running good, there's nothin for me to do. I could probably find something to do like cleaning up A/D or configure alerts on the SAN (if you work in IT, you'll know what I mean.)

So just throwing out a random question... How loud is too loud?

Or you can just ignore me and I'll continue reading other posts as meaningless as this one.

If I worked for IT and was bored I'd be playing games on the pc instead of reading the forums. All my IT buddies play games while at work watching and making sure other people don't...... Lucky bastards.

If you ears bleed then it's too loud.

I think that has to be done on the BS forum now...

I think the loudness issue varies by individual and what type of riding you do. My brother in law has pipes so damn loud you can hear them in the next state away. He rides to work and around his area, no extended time in the saddle. I made sure that my pipes would be somewhat loud, but nothing so loud that I would hate taking an extended ride (which I do often since I live in Florida - year round riding). To each their own.

I work in IT and I am at work as well. I'm wearing my "assless" (unless you count the wearer) chaps as I type.
Right now I'm "posing" as someone working. If it gets much more boring I may have to down our mail server or something and watch the Helpdesk phones light up.

What do you guys think about sleeveless vests? I think they look good with assless chaps.

Man, I agree with Stix. I gotta break something and watch the help desk freak out.
