Problem is, I think they all count as Civil Service jobs, for which you need to be a citizen. :-(

just a quick note

I had a very time last night with A. and her friends Jennie and David. They had been to see Mr Little Panda Guy (hey, I'm not going to get involved in the Big Name Controversy ;-) and brought A. a wee stuffed panda and a very nice quiltedy thing with a picture of the LPG on it that Jennie had made for her. They also brough prezzies for me!! a box of Rogue-Trader-era Warhammer 40K minis that David had painted way back when. (john_arundel, eat your heart out! ;). We had a tasty dinner at Paolo's in Reston Town Center and talked about everything under the sun, from gaming to soccer to costuming to some very good stories about A. (including a great one about dangerous hippos! :-) J&D seem like tremendously nice people; I'm glad to know A. has such good friends and am very pleased to meet them. I'm glad to say they seem to approve of me, though they've promised to hunt me down and kill me if I break A.'s heart. Which I think is only fair.

Now I just have to get through 12 hours of work today, eleven tomorrow, and run a Napoleonics game on Saturday...
