Default Too much time on your hands?

Try this innocent little browser based game. Deceptively simple yet amazingly addictive.

WARNING: You may bail after 10 minutes, deciding its not for you. But if you find yourself still playing after 30, you can probably kiss the weekend goodbye.

You have been warned.

agreed, although my response was, "oh hell no!!"
Marginal returns vs yield.
we have things called CAMs, Cost account Managers.
If you are in a leadership role you have to be certified in it and it is exciting as watching paint dry.
Essentially for the financial side of running a program.
Accountants have GAAP, we have CAM training.
If the feds drop in for an audit your program,you damn well better be certified.

Just as well. You don't strike me as someone with too much time on his hands.

Must have block on site. I get a simple old-school page with cost of paperclips?

I was expecting Angry Birds, or something similar.

Well, I wasted a good bit of time with it this weekend. Played through to the end twice. It's very easy to dismiss it early on, but it's pretty amazing from a game design standpoint. Very well done!

You all have too much time on your hands... ever think about volunteering to help you community with this free time?
