Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

Sorry I spelled Kristin's name wrong! I'll try not to let it happen again.

Well, we wouldn't want people wondering what I was doing working mirror image shifts with the wrong Kristin.

This time the fingerprinting was done directly into the computer. I am amazed the technology has arrived in this area.

If some of the teachers were alien's that might explain some things. Hmmm, maybe my principal is actually an alien. Nah, I don't think they would want him, either.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Some guy at work I've never had a spoken conversation with struck up email with me because my phone's text message alert is the TARDIS whoosh. And he just kinda harshed on Firefly! Not as serious as Trek!

That's my text alert, too!

And Kirk never kicked a dude into a spaceship's engine.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

And Kirk never kicked a dude into a spaceship's engine.

Nor looked so sassy in the tight pants. IJS.

God. I hope the Sarah Connor Chronicles don't suck.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Picking up a soldering iron by the wrong end (Twice! So dumb.) gave me some impressive blisters but didn't change my fingerprints. Slicing off the tip of my thumb with a kitchen knife left a noticeable scar that is just off the edge of the fingerprint area.

One of my fellow grad students dropped a hot soldering iron in his lap while we were building cables years ago. I've never seen anyone leap out of a rolling chair so quickly in my life.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hey, does that weird cold soldering gun thing work? Do you know?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

My WH (wonderful husband) works for the power plants in our area. He spent 20 years at the nuclear plant as an operator. The annual physicals, drug testing, etc. were a regular part of his world.

t Waves at the nuke

It was the "rotating" part of plant shifts that looked so hellacious to me.
