Second verse, same as the first

[mousme]

We spent half of today's training literally going over which forms we need to fill out in specific instances in order to perform our new functions (as defined by the training). It was riveting. :P I wish I could say more, but given the level of secrecy at which I work, I have to keep it really vague. Oh well, it's not like you're missing anything truly riveting.

The upside is that I discovered one of my classmates is into D&D. I kind of had a feeling she might be a fellow geek when she walked in (is there such a thing as geek-dar?), but today confirmed it when she mentioned she runs a game night every Wednesday for a huge group, along with four other DMs. It sounds like a really great thing, since it's a community activity and includes a lot of people with various physical and mental disabilities. Anyway, we had a really nice, productive chat about gaming and DMing in particular, and she put me onto a Facebook group of local DMs, which looks promising, if maybe not super active.

At the very least, I may have found myself a new nerd buddy in Ottawa! \o/

Tomorrow is my last day of training. There will be more forms to study, more technical stuff I'm not allowed to discuss in public, then an exam so I can get certified in the thing I'm not allowed to discuss in public. Friday has been set aside for writing purposes, as Capricornucopia is around the corner. I hope I can get it all written in time. I'm out of practice with writing, having not done any serious writing in months. Luckily, Capricornucopia doesn't require "serious" writing, but it still requires writing. I have some ideas, so now I just have to find a way to make them all coalesce.

Yes. There is absolutely geekdar. As a lifelong weird person, I can attest that this is a thing, although I am not sure how it works. There aren't always external markers for it that I'm aware of. And yet.

Yay for new friends! One year we have to make it to Capricornucopia - I've been sick enough this last couple of months that I couldn't be sure I'd be healthy enough to go.
