>>>>>[The SIN problem is easily fixed. When I came here (and I was one of
the first) they set me up with a SIN and from then on out I have been
relatively legit. I still do other tid bits here and there. Not like I
need the money (they give me 50k a year plus a LOT of perks), just want
to stay up with the tech and wizzer toys.

This is what happened with me. This guy came up to me one day while I
was just hangin' and said that he had heard that I was pretty good with
coding and stuff (I guess I was...I was just starting out...you know
ground floor stuff) and wanted to hire me for some super secret project going
on down in the barrens. I was like, "Yeah, right" and blew him off
for a while. He came back a couple weeks later and handed me a couple
hundred nY in Corp Script and said that he was really serious about
having me on his team. I was young back then and the money looked really
good. The work was pretty much cake when we started. Write a editor for
working out some video footage to be run through some big engine. What was
so cool about it was that the engine had not been built yet. Everytime I
ran into a "hardware" problem with coding, they would change the specs
on the hardware until I had the perfect machine to work on. Back then there
was only 4 of us. This guy gave us everything we wanted. Im sure we
have the only vending machines in the city that have coupons for food
from local resturants. You put in your food token and out drops "dinner for
two from Gracies" or "Dinner for two from Lorenzo's (there arent as many
of those anymore)".

I forgot what I was saying. Oh, yeah, like, when I started here the boss man
set up a SIN for me and everything. Everyone here is SINed now. Sometimes
he brings in others and gives them jobs doing things around the offices
when we bring in more money during a quarter than expected.

When you get here you will likely have to interview with me. One of the first
things I am going to ask you is what your "REAL" name is. Whatever you
tell me will be the SIN that we will hack out for you.

I wouldnt mention your conflicts with NAN around here tho. Its a VERY touchy
subject with Jace. But dont worry about it, he is on vacation right now
(being Xmas and all) so you wont likely meet him until after the holidays.

Read over this and if you are still interested, stop on by...we will be
closing down the shop for christmas on Wednesday, 22nd. We have been
working so hard around here no one has finished their shopping.

Welp, gotta run...here, read these
