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.

Thank goodness you didn't get a job at a blowtorch company.

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.

Taaaaaasserrrrrr. walks around making "bzzt!" noises under my breath

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

oh my. Tasers.

This seems bad.

Dang, I miss ita.

Wow so much to do, msbelle!!

Dana, I too am curious how you figured that out. And wherever it wS a fan you knew and liked or disliked!!

Atropa, I'm scared of you with a taser. I do feel like anyone who is going to use one (aka cops) should have to get tased.

Well sure, because if you're getting shot with a taser, it'd be a comfort to be able to think to yourself, "I chose this".

Nobody I knew, and probably a few years before I was deep into fandom. We do have degrees from the same small university program, though.
