Job update

So after a pile of paperwork, I have a new job. I won't start until next week because they're still figuring out where I'm going to sit. I'm indexing a lot of small DV footage, which should be entertaining. I had to be fingerprinted, which was amusing. They used a high tech scanner. Apparently my fingers don't have a lot of oil on them, so the prints were sometimes be too light. When I had to roll the fingerprint, I kept being too dark, because I was putting too much pressure. It was a comedy of errors.

Amusing note seen in the paper: Tuesday after the Skins victory, the Metro announcement gave their usual stern warning to alert WMATA people if you saw anything suspicious. There was an addendum however. "If you see three or four people standing around crying, they're probably Dallas Cowboys fans." Ouch. Reminds me of the times I'd be flying in to Washington and they'd give us the score on the people movers back to the terminal.
