PAAAANNNNNTTTSSSS!!!!

So, among today's tasks, after attending the Back to School All-Hands for the Crossing Guards (I've been to parties that were less fun.) and clearing up some paperwork at City Hall, I headed out to the uniform store.

I had been warned it would be a wait, but the staff was great. I have a city-approved list of things that I hadn't been able to find in stock at the police station. Funny thing was, all four of us new-hire guards descended on the store nearly at once.

After a short wait, which I spent evangelizing Burning Man to two employees, I was presented with almost everything I needed. I now have a ballcap (with patch), short and long-sleeved white shirts (with patches), windbreaker and heavy winter jacket (with patches), badge, ID card, STOP sign, reflective safety vest, high-visibility rain gear, and a police whistle. My name badge has to be custom made and should be ready when we come home from the Playa.

I have everything I need. Except for one critical piece of the uniform issue.

Pants.

PAAAANNNTTTTSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In my online D&D game, I am Digenis Fiendsbane, the Pantless Barbarian. Now, in reality, I am currently Doug, the Pantless Crossing Guard.

I think I'll name my STOP sign Fred III.
