Laga, you are not helping! Also, the dude put it on the wrong finger. It's not a wedding ring, it's a Green Lantern ring, it goes on the middle finger.

ION, why yes, I do feel my head filling up and my ears clamping down. I do believe a head cold is upon me. Aarrgghh.

Also, the dude put it on the wrong finger. It's not a wedding ring, it's a Green Lantern ring, it goes on the middle finger.

I choose to believe the dude is married to another Green Lantern fan with the same tattoo.

Maybe he's married to the Green Lantern.

Maybe he's one of the Wonder Twins.

Finger-tats...or HAND-tats...are for people who don't need to worry about finding new jobs.

And...OW.

Depends on the industry you work in.

I just don't think I'd be able to keep from scratching a finger-tat while it was healing.

A friend of mine has a gorgeous wrist tattoo that never caused her problems until she tried to join a health club in Japan. Apparently even caucasian-american ex-pat girls can be Yakuza.

SH, those are the primary reasons that keep me from doing it. Although, a "ring" tattoo can easily be covered with a real ring. But I hate wearing jewelry.

Okay then-- electrician has been and gone. We have a new GFI outlet, the old one apparently having been installed by a team of baby howler monkeys who couldn't be bothered to carve out a large enough space for the unit, so it was just crammed in there and as the house settled was gradually crushed, with wires touching the metal screws.

Since this electrician was not a baby howler monkey, he made the space larger, wrapped electrical tape around the screws, and essentially did the job right.

I'm still going to check the outlet every half hour or so.

True. As a software QA guy, it's been made clear to me by all my contract companies that I need to be a lot more conservative in appearance if I want to make more than minimum, though.
