Probably pretty good, because a major background check is expensive. You'd probably have to be in the top three, at least.
We'd be dead. Can't get paid if you're dead.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
So a "full-on background" is pretty much to see if you're a felon, right?
Or a terrorist. It's a government job.
Background checks cost money, so...cautiously optimistic?
Right? That's what I'm thinking.

I'd say that's a very good sign. Reference checks usually come into play either as due diligence before making an offer or as a tie breaker between a few top candidates.
ETA: government could function a bit differently but still a very good sign.

Huh. We just had some weird electrical thing happen. An electrical box of some sort went "poof" and the lights in the main part of the office dimmed. All but one computer in a nearby office isn't working.

I think this is right on. Why do the background otherwise?
ION, I'm trying to design a business card. And as I was messing around online, I was reminded about Buffistas conversation #34 - favorite fonts. Anyone have a favorite, legal-looking font? I love Copperplate, but was trying to be a bit more original...although I do love that font.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, that sounds like good news, Dana!

One of my designers used Capitals for something and I was quite struck by it (though that may have been in the context of his design) [link]

I like Futura, but I'm not an expert. I will go out on a limb and say that Comic Sans probably wouldn't work very well.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
You should probably not use any of these fonts: [link]
