Cross Guard job update.

Because very little in my life is easy.

Fingerprints were successfully retaken, I should hear back by Friday as the SCPD is asking for this to be done quickly.

I did get clarification on what the trouble was. The tech who took my last set accidentally selected the wrong routing code. Totally understandable, as the process covers six web-based forms, and I think all of us have slipped when selecting from a drop-down menu.

After it is confirmed that I am not a felon or wanted for shooting a man in Reno just to watch him die, I'll get called for the medical test. That's simply to confirm that I can stand, walk, and hold a 2lb sign up. Then I'm hired.

Can I appoint Angus as Patriarch of Constantinople? It would liven up services.

Listening to AC/DC and reading Byzantine history leads to this:

"Filioque ain't cause for schism,
Filioque is just a word
The power of God is linear
And your doctrine is absurd."

I have a theory . . .

I have a theory . . .

Porgs, those cute CGI puffin replacements, have been living on the same island as the first Jedi Temple for millennia. That spot is one of the most powerful nexuses of the Force in the universe. It's why Luke was able to project himself so far.

The porgs have absorbed this power. Thus, when Chewie wanted to eat his roast porg it wasn't the cuteness of the Sad Porg that stopped him. No, the porg used the Jedi mind-trick on him.

This also explains why the porgs seemingly avoid Luke. They sense his darkness.
