Time travel would just confuse me even more

Why oh why is it only 8:30? Time goes too fast for me, generally speaking (for instance, who authorized it to be nearly the end of March? Wasn't it January yesterday?), except for moments like these, in which I desperately want it to be later in the day.

Two thefts and one recovery this shift. Not bad. The recovery was made in less than an hour, and the other car's boomerang wasn't answering, which means we can't track it. So.

Otherwise? Deadly dull. Very little to do.

I got some writing done. If I can muster the energy when I get home tonight, I shall transcribe the two instalments of BTP that I have and put them up. Otherwise, it will happen tomorrow morning. I'm aiming for five instalments a week, instead of one per day. My weekends tend to be write-offs (no pun intended), even when I don't have band practice.

The new guy is researching hand guns on the internet on the computer beside me. This appears to be a favourite pastime of his, though I can't for the life of me figure out why. It seems to me that researching handguns is not all that appropriate when you're working for a security company. It has already raised a number of eyebrows among his colleagues. Then again, he worked for the American consulate before coming here, so maybe that explains it. ;)

The deck of cards I have is too slippery to make for a good game of solitaire. All the cards keep sliding around and messing up my game. The computer I'm on doesn't have a copy of solitaire on it, which is very sad, as it means I'm bored. Miaow!

I am looking forward to going home, maybe watching some Babylon 5, and then hitting the proverbial hay. I am stupidly tired.

I love my new Sesame Street icon, in unrelated news. :)

Psst!

Tell the guy to google "Para-Ordnance LDA"!

If your computer has Java installed, you can play the web game...

So...you have a job that gives you lots of free time?

[identity profile] mousme.livejournal.com 2007-03-21 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Sort of. Depends on the day. Sometimes it's stupidly busy, other times it's dead.

Why? Need a job? We need dispatchers right now, if you have any experience in the field. :)

Strangely enough I do. Do I need french?

[identity profile] mousme.livejournal.com 2007-03-21 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
You would need a working knowledge of French, yes. We take calls from clients who are reporting stolen vehicles and/or returning our own calls concerning false alarms, and some of our trackers are more comfortable in French than English. So you have to be able to understand French and make yourself understood. No one's asking for perfection, and 99% of the documentation is in English, but verbal skills in French are required.

I can send you the email with the job offer, if you're interested.

totally unrelated to anything, but I love that icon!

(oh, and the American Consulate - gun guy tie-in made me laugh)

Handguns

Sure it is. You provide security with them. :)
