Gainfully Employed
The contract is signed. I start working full-time on Monday. I get decent
pay, excellent benefits, and copious amounts of vacation time. The work is
relatively exciting (though I probably won't say so a few weeks into the
job). I'm looking forward to getting into the nine-to-five habit, as it will
regulate my lifestyle a whole lot more than unemployment, or even more, the
unpredictable time requirements of school.
I've also decided that the Dupli-Color is as good, or better, than the Plastikote, if only because of availability. So I went ahead and painted the main body of the phaser. It's amazing how a little bit of spray paint can transform dull Krylon Grey Primer into something that looks high-tech. The colour of this paint and the way this paint reflects light are beautiful. I should have the prop done some time this weekend.
