Jeffrey now has both the original lock on the "box" (it's actually a lunchbag)---with possession of its key, up until this morning available only from Auntie Lisa, who wore it on a string around her neck all week---and a combination padlock t'boot. He can lock stuff up now. Like all the little Pandora's Box gees-gaw Auntie Lisa (in the role of the Gods) has been meting out all week. Your own lock is a fun thing when you're just 5.
Last night I went over to spy B.'s. We went out to dinner & then watched Survivor & then talked. He suggests his agency (did I mention he's a spy?) as a possible place of employment for me, who likes working with strange people. I was somewhat surprised that he would think I could be hired there. He asked why. I said because I'm a subversive. He said I'd be surprised. We talked about the issues involved at some length.
Tell me: is it possible I'm not sufficiently subversive as to be unable to pass the security clearance for the NSA?
What are 
fflo's chances of being hired at the NSA?
roughly a snowball's in hell

maybe if she had some sort of lobotomy

Some people do slip through the cracks.

She looks like a closet right-winger to me!

So how would you state that chance numerically (as a chance in 10)?

Please name a reason or two fflo would be rejected for a federal clearance.
Now to pack up stuff & wrap up things here (there's some tension in the household today) & head down to
sprig5's. Then off to Winchester tomorrow and the road home.
