What would Worf say?

[fbhjr]

I usually shop at the supermarket 1/4 mile from our house. But, they aren’t very good about restocking the things we like. So, sometimes I’ve got to go off to others in the chain to find what I want. Last month I talked about how that store in Westboror uses phasers to scan your groceries.

Today I went back there to look for stuff my store was out of. I walked around with the scanner, scanned the stuff as I put it in the cart, then I went to the register.
Apparently I got picked as a random check and a clerk had to come over and make sure I scanned all the stuff in my cart like I am supposed to.
After the first dozen things, all of which showed as scanned, she agreed I seemed to be playing by the rules and let me go.

This seems to negate the benefit of the scanners. It’s only the third time I have used them. If 33% of the time I’ve got to spend extra time with a clerk going through everything I’ve already bagged, I’m not sure it’s worth it.
But, I don’t go there much anyhow...

I sent out my first three DVD’s for the job search today. They cost about $1 to make and $1.50 to mail. So, I want to avoid doing hundreds.
I doubt it will work. But, I might get lucky with one...

Did you send one to oxford? hmmmmmmm?

No.
They saw everything in person. Didn't seem to make sense to send them a video...

Sense as in logical? I agree. But- it shows your interest, and reminds them of your existence, and those might be helpful...

Maybe, but it's all information they know already...

Today I took video of my boss talking about what a good worker I was. That i might send them...

There seems to be alot of laser stuff in the jobs market these days

At least, in southern NH, where I am "cruising" for my next contract/client, there appear to be a number of job postings looking for various engineers all having to do with high powered lasers, power supply, control systems, etc. I wouldn't have guess that high energy lasers were the hot item right now, but laser beams seem to be everywhere I look ! Maybe a good transition from plasma cutters, but they still aren't phasers !

I think that Worf would say that a Disruptor is really a man's weapon, but if you've got to carry an energy weapon, phasers can be nicely concealable..

Best of luck with the DVD - I hope that it is a big hit and doesn't end up being pirated in China and used for nefarious purposes !

I guess I know where you guys are going to be on Friday night ?!?
