I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

One of these years I will take you up on this, much to Pete's horror.

I just want to see you with a screw gun and steel toed boots wearing one of my company t-shirts.

I have pink steel-toe boots! No reason why Atropa couldn't make the look her own!

Petticoats or trains would be fine as long as the job doesn't involve welding or moving belts, right?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

No capes!

I saw a construction worker yesterday with the most awesome hair and long beard, but I'm worried that he works around power equipment.

If ND lets me use a welding torch, I will obey any required safety dress code. POWER TOOLS OF FIRE.

Typically not welding torches, but occasionally angle grinders, which make amazing showers of sparks.

Not only is the person who took on a shitton of my extra work plus some new projects leaving, we may not be able to replace her anytime soon because of changes in hiring practices (positions are now domain of division not branches & current division leadership...um we keep our distance for Reasons.)

And she was really, really good. There are at least 2 other coworkers I'd ditch to keep her.

I'm tired.

Ugh, no fun, sarameg. I hope a solution comes to light.

I am off and running. Basketball tournament. Tired.
