Warning: the first half is dark again
Well we lost another person from my department, a linesmen this time and they were short two from vacation and end of contracts. He pulled his back a bit last week and turns out he pinch a nerve in his spine and so his leg went numb over a period of a week. There is a little bit of worries on the status of the insurance as he did not fill out an incident report with in the required 24 hours of it happening.
Speaking of needing replacements. The replacement for the reporter killed has arrived. I have yet to meet him but the rumor is he is in his 60's chain smokes and meets the criteria for the cliche 70's cynical war zone vet reporter. Not to sound too dark and cynical my self but we theorize he was sent as no one would care if he got killed.
Spending my spare time fencing, board games, and researching SCA projects for when I'm home. Yesterday sent out a bunch of emails to place that have possible 16th century spit jacks. One is in Austria and another in Switzerland, I am hopeful for a answer but know that with out scholastic “cred” that my chance are low. The news now is there may be English examples and a expert in York on the subject, I'll email him tomorrow.
The fencing group here put a huge order with zen warrior armories and for my part up a sword and dagger. So its official I'm both a heavy and light fighter. I'll be fine as long as I don't miss a battle at Pennsic to go wire swishing, then my knight may have something to say...
