Work! (I will not reference the Seven Dwarves song)

So I woke up fine this morning. As always, my immune system means business. My sudden return to health enabled me to go to work, and there was much rejoicing.

It actually wasn't that interesting. I met the head partner or the president or the chairman or whatever the hell he is - it doesn't matter, he's best friends with Armin. He took me into a conference room, asked me a few obligatory questions, spoke very quietly the whole time. Actually, the entire company mumbles. It reminded me of Conglom-O, with the guys tip-toeing around on the ceiling and along the walls. He brought in two women and they looked at my resumé, apparently for the first time, and talked about what to do with me. They eventually decided to put me on something called Crystal Reports, informed me that I'd start next Tuesday, and then Bigwig showed me around and introduced me to the entire company. The first three people in a row all asked immediately how long I'd be working here. I'm not sure what to make of that, but eventually Bigwig made it a part of his boilerplate introduction, so I can't say for sure whether everyone in that company was a scripted NPC.

That's really all there is to tell; more developments as they happen.

Ryan,

Crystal Reports is a software for producing business forms. We use it to make calibration certificates. You'll be better at using it than anyone there within 10 days. Don't let on.

Regards
