Job Fair



What a fun evening I had yesterday! It was the Erie Job Fair, a tour of the island so that new and potential residents could see what part they might want to play. In the top picture you can see the tour group coming across the street from the Courthouse, where they learned what it takes to get on the Council and how someone can be a DJ on Erie Isle. The second picture is outside the Hospital. Doc Ran (in the white coat) and Brigade Chief Journey are in the back (they had finally stopped dancing!) with Fire Department Lieutenant Choi in the foreground. (I don't remember who the legs on the left belong to.) Right behind me you can see our Fire Hydrant - we really need one on every corner.

Brigade members were dancing when I arrived before the tour.
Doc says "glad to be brigade.. even when times are tough..we dance."

It took forever for things to rez well enough to take pictures. We were asked not to to wear radar HUDs so as to keep the lag down, but my personal opinion is that flexi hair is the lag monster. I hate being without my Mystitool - it's almost as bad as losing my sense of smell would be. Sure, I know if my friends are online, but how far away are they? I took it off, though (/me sighs noisily!).

When it was the Brigade's turn to answer questions Choi and Journey told the newcomers we need drivers, helicopter pilots, fire crew, paramedics, and even a bomb technician. Ran explained that the hospital needs nurses, orderlies, doctors, and janitors. Healers can be herbalists, whole health, and magic and science healers. I wore a title that said Fire Dog - Erie's Best Job. But really I hoped no one else would want to be a Fire Dog. I bet we could use a bloodhound for tracking or a Newfoundland for water rescue, though.

Before the group left the Sheriff talked about law enforcement jobs. The Sheriff is pretty scary so I stayed out of his way. The tour moved on to the Red Zone, where they planned to meet a surprise guest in the Butcher Shop. I kinda wanted to go, but Colly IM'd me: "I wouldn't Marzipan, or you may wind up being served" so instead I stayed and played with Jaden. We gave eskimo kisses, which didn't have anything at all to do with being an Eskimo dog - it's just rubbing noses together. Jaden says anybody with a nose can have eskimo kisses, even a Dalmatian!

I am just about blogged out now. I think it's time for a snack.
