OT the Geeks won
I start my new job tomorrow, for better or worse. It's doing dispatch
for the Geek Squad; many of you have seen the ads: the Brylcreemed Geek in black flood pants, black tie and white shirt with a freaking pocket protector driving around in a black-and-white Punchbuggy to do emergency service calls. Meet your Geek, ladies and gents. Picture big bad Lizzy in that uniform, and I'm not kidding. Right down to the flood pants, and I'm not even a technician. The dress code is so strict that the handbook warns of writeups if the pants touch the shoes. I don't want to do this, but in this job climate it's about the best I can do. I face rude and belligerent customers whose assigned geek didn't make it. I'm back onto a phone, welded to a handset. I have been trying to get off a phone for years. Oh well. it pays the vet and right now that's all I care about. Wish me luck. And access to lots of valium and alcohol, potentially together. Blessed be, Baha |

Pants that are too short for your legs. This means you could walk through
flood water without getting your pants wet.
