[MR] You know you are in the SCA when...

[Cecilia Jaeger]

  Better than that ....

A few years ago when I was job hunting I got a call a week or so before 
Pennsic and I said I wouldn't be able to start the job until September 
because I had a camping trip planned in August (and wanted to wait until 
my daughter was in school instead of juggling day care for two weeks). 
The recruiter asked where I camped. When I said Pennsylvania, he said 
"Pennsic!!".  Turns out his a Merc.

Got to the job, and a few weeks later, my boss asked me if I was in the 
SCA (Hi Seamus). He saw the Atlantia sticker on my mini-van in the 
parking lot.

The job didn't last because the commute killed me.  But it does make for 
an interesting tale.

Now I have a 10 minute commute ironically for the same contractor I was 
a sub-contractor for at that job. So it all worked out.

is whether or not you can take the first week of August off.
