One of the more pleasant types of announcements I make here...

What with the events of the last few weeks, certain small niceties have dropped by the wayside. Understandable, but a shame, and I may be heading out of town shortly, but I wanted to rectify the lapse before I did.

We have a number of new trainees to welcome aboard. Marius, Jennie, Kyle, Janet, and Forge will be working with us. I'm sure you'll all make yourselves available to answer any questions they may have, and as training partners when I do get a new rotation drawn up.

For our new trainees - you now have full access to the database, including all of the training material and past missions. I'd suggest reading everything you can get your hands on, for a better understanding of what we do around here. One note, though - it's not kind to mock the follies of your elders. Some of us have heard all too many jokes about quicksand and coatracks and the like.

And on that note... trainee names, anyone?

So not only can the codenames serve as punishment for our own temerity, but that of others as well.

Right. No worries here at all.

No offense, but you pick really lame codenames.

[identity profile] x-sanfuaiyaa.livejournal.com 2007-06-12 11:33 pm (UTC)(link)
No offense, but that's the damn point.

Ah, I see an immediate problem here. You project lack of education onto that which was merely cheekiness. It is an important distinction, and I'll have you know I am quite hurt by your failure to grasp it. It is quite within my capacity to be both an idiot and fully literate. As opposed to yourself, who, with all due respect, appears to be in some difficulty sustaining both wit and actual sense of humour.

Nah. They should be funny, not dumb.

Strange, though I have no idea what you could be refering to, I am still quite sure it is not the worst thing I have ever been called in my life. No worries, I do not take it personally, for I know you are simply paying back that which you suffered in your own trainee days. (And in that vein, while there are many jokes about the seriousness of black leather I applaud the daring fashion statement of apparently going through one mission in a football jersey.)

And if you can figure out the tactical reason for that, you get a free pass on a day of PT.

Not since October, but cheers for the thought.

That's not half bad. Less bad than um, Keno.

I'm not crazy about the Vegas theme, but you people seem hell bent on it.

[identity profile] x-roulette.livejournal.com 2007-06-13 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
What, did you want people to shoot at you?

*consults with Kyle's mysteriously wet roommate*

He says it's a Chupcabra.

Half credit to Jackpot.

Lesson one - let the invulnerable person draw fire.

[identity profile] x-juggernaut.livejournal.com 2007-06-13 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
That's it! Chupathingy! That's him.

[identity profile] x-wasp.livejournal.com 2007-06-13 12:56 am (UTC)(link)
Ha! I say we actually make it "Chupathingy."

[identity profile] x-roulette.livejournal.com 2007-06-13 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Wow. I think I win. Jackpot is way better than Beast Boy. Or Goat-sucker.

[identity profile] x-wasp.livejournal.com 2007-06-13 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
Mosquito? Bleh. I'm like Tinkerbell, or a fairy or a pixie or something. We should think "tiny and cute" not "tiny and annoying and swatted into the nearest wall."

[identity profile] x-sanfuaiyaa.livejournal.com 2007-06-13 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
That's a reason. I am also releasing onto you all of the pent up frustration from my days as a trainee. Some day, you will do the same to the next round of recruits. It's a vicious cycle.

[identity profile] x-emplate.livejournal.com 2007-06-13 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, well. Fortunately after spending so much of my first year strapped to a bed I actually find PT quite enjoyable.

You've also been hit in the head a lot.

[identity profile] x-jeangrey.livejournal.com 2007-06-13 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Well, yes, it was less the you-specific than the you-general. English once again fails to distinguish.

[identity profile] x-emplate.livejournal.com 2007-06-13 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
This is true. If you find the results undesirable perhaps you should stop doing it.

[identity profile] x-roulette.livejournal.com 2007-06-13 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
I have stopped. When was the last time I hit you in the head? Unless the last time so hard you've begun hallucinating, ma puce.

[identity profile] x-jeangrey.livejournal.com 2007-06-13 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, but is that a goood "..." or a bad "..."?
