Oh, my god, the person who's currently working at potential fancy new job was apparently an X-Files BNF.
Huh. How did you learn this?

Sheryl I am so sorry. A few of the books I read that might be of some help:
Beyond Consequences: Logic and Control by Forbes
The Explosive Child by Greene
The Defiant Child by Riley
I am not sure on that last one, but I the other two I had (may still have I can look if you are interested)

Houses! Yay houses!
Today is the second day of my new job. (Yesterday's first day was in AZ, for new hire orientation.) but it's going well! My co-workers are cool, and I'm in nerd central.
Also, because of my new company, I had to get my retinas scanned so I can enter/exit the office. And I get a 30% discount on consumer-grade tasers. A DISCOUNT. ON TASERS. FOR MEEEEE.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Huh. How did you learn this?
She used her real name. I need to ping some of the longtime XF people I know and make sure she doesn't have a reputation of some kind.

We also can sign up to get shot with a taser, but it's not mandatory, so that's a relief.
