A New Customer or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Job

[Jones-250]

So, after an hounorable discharge from the FDF (after completing my conscription), I looked for a job in order to fill the gap between service and proper studies. I happened to fall into the bottomless abyss of a mailmans occupation. It´s hard work with somewhat meager pay, however you get to see society from quite a different perspective. Not to mention all the whacky encounters that occasionally come by.

Last week wasn´t any different. Or so I tought until thursday. "Pics or it didn´t happen", they say around some parts of the interwebs.

Indeed, poor thing.

Been inside a lot lately?

[NASAFanboy]

What is this "outside" you talk about?

I'm going to fetch my telescope.

Or is it a new planet?

[Rhyunix]

I concur with NASAFanboy, what is its surface like? Who discovered this?

[victory143]

Can you blend it?

[Needles_10]

Looks like they really exist.

MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE!

Yeah, we have conscription in effect around here. It´s really the only way to guarantee a force large enough to provide some kind of deterrent. Served 362 days in the Coastal Jaegers and was promoted to sergeant and designated as a sniper squad leader. Now I´m in the reserve with more than 300,000 others. From time to time I´m considering to enlist into peacekeeping, not really planning to leave right away, but one day I shall.
