The hippo of recollection stirs in the muddy waters of the mind.

JKG went nicely, and I got to visit with some of the folks at FMM afterward. The Network was down, and poor Sappho was stressed out. The AC is broken there too, making my old office and hers an ez-bake oven. That’s been broken since last week.

Reviewing the Employee handbook for JKG was an eye-opener…. It’s been a long time since I’ve worked at a professional company. The HR woman was amazingly helpful, informed, and well trained. I’ll be getting a 401k after 90 days, not a year as I had previously understood.. Direct deposit set up easily enough, and they even have a deal with the train station for discounted employee passes. I was complimented on my preference of taking mass transit instead of the highway

Looks like I lost a childer in the vampire game (warning, some popups) but I’m progressing reasonably well.

My Stikfas came in the mail… they’re quite a lot of fun, if you like super-poseable action toys. Newt has claimed the green one for himself. I can agree to those terms. I still have a tan one (actually closer to flesh) and a black one. The versatility is nice, but I think that they’d have done better to provide maybe less guns, and an additional head, feet and set of hands… and that way allowed you to have two guys in a box.
