More Loving My Job

Oct 27, 2008 17:24

I got to play with the UCPD bomb squad today as I checked out their toys and methodologies for gremlins. Did you know the University had a bomb squad? Neither did I, but it makes some sense when I think about it considering that it's Berkeley.

A highlight from the adventure -

if I had known I could play with such toys and fuck with military pricks, I would have studied harder...

Studying harder gets you the toys. Fucking with people you have to come by on your own. Getting away with it and being genuinely liked for it is another talent altogether. That's my special Eddie Haskell-esque superpower. I am a science jester.

One day, I hope to meet you.

The world is a many splendor'd place. Perhaps your motorcycle will take you in Klingon finery to the SF Bay Area. Perhaps a conference will take me to Atlanta. Sadly, the only family that remain in Pilot Mountain, Mt. Olive, and River Falls are the multitude of distant cousins I don't know. Who knows.

But if you did, you would be benchilada friend two to meet me before he does.

Oh, all supervillains are japerous arseholes to an extent. That doesn't mean we can't love 'em.

Also, your line gives me a worrying new outlook on your journal's page title...

Just caught that did you...

What can I say? I'm a moron.

Surveys with Rifles Trailing... lovelylira October 30 2008, 19:50:10 UTC

Can you give me more detail on that incident?

Re: Surveys with Rifles Trailing... funranium October 30 2008, 20:11:21 UTC

I needed to do surveys in a highly secure facility afterhours. For some reason I had dropped off the access list.

Phil: I need to get in to do these surveys.
Big Guy With Gun: You aren't on the list.
P: No one on the list is going to come into do them because I'm here. They need to be done because they are a requirement of our operating documents.
BGWG: You aren't on the list.
P: If I don't do it before midnight, it is reportable to D.C. Do you want to be responsible for that?
BGWG: Do you mind having rifles pointed at your head?
P: I can cope with that.
BGWG: Alright then.
