With the new company, developers are kings (their words). To speak to one, you must go via a process
You can't ask a developer to fix a computer, as its a waste of their time. This effects me more than the rest of the team, because I'm 50% garbage man, someone will say "Can you fix this problem" or "Can you create this facility" and I'll just do it. I'm great at doing those sorts of things, and everyone thinks I'm awesome for doing it.
The other 50% of the time I'm very innotive, working with social network apis, and testing creating things that sometimes lead to 10ks of facebook likes and lots of "Holy shit, didn't realise that was possible for us", and sometimes it amounts to nothing. I do a lot of this in my own time because I enjoy it, I get to play around and do stuff that gets seen by millions of people.
With the new people, they're more like.... it's hard to explain, but for an example, one new guy (my eventual new boss) grillied out another new guy about how long it took to do something, infront of everyone. They were questions that could not be awnsered, in making website things (design and development) sometimes a sollution clicks in place in minutes, other times it'll take days. You can give deadlines all you want, but sometimes the scheduals write themselves. Other things pop up that wasn't considered, but then the question is "Why wasn't they considered?".

Sounds like a small company that the new guys are trying to grow
It's inevitable that they will bring some 'big business' feelings with them, timelines, p&ls etc, these sound business principles are essential however they can be irking. A middle ground will result in a better run business with the freedoms that you have previously enjoyed.
Good luck negotiating!

hat seems cool, too - what's your background? where you from? ie, why that hat?

Yeah, undecided on that.
Could have some military experience of could just like military kit, rather like I do.
Why the hat, I wanted a cap that would look 'period' and the colour worked too, but not 100% It might just be a hat. I have an old leather 'cowboy' hat so could wear that but it seemed less engineer than a cap.

I suspect there will be a lot of cowboy hats around
I've not thought through hats, yet. I'll need one, just in case it's sunny, plus hats are the best bit of a costume

oooh, could work
we don't really have a side as such - probably lean towards independents since we're a bit maverick. Stint in the alliance millitary would mean we had some potential inside information on how they work. When you booked were you from a core, border or whatever the other one is planet? I went border, but mostly for the points balance

Border.
Grew up on a religious cult world escaped pretty young and spent the next couple of decades drifting and surviving, so service with one army or another and some merc stuff would fit. It wouldn't involve any loyalties, just picking the stronger side.

sounds solid
as usual, I've not thought through my background in detail yet. Still don't have a decent background for the Egyptian I've been playing for the last couple of years :(

OK, so a blue version of the hat might imply aliance
or just go grey for neutral.

Evening benders and boob-owners
Question: I'm filling in an online tenant application form for a flat in London. One of the questions is Current Residential Status, with a dropdown that has options for Property Owner, Council Tenant, Private Tenant, Living with friends or relatives.
My house sale completes at some point in the next few weeks, so I'm technically a property owner. But I'm living in a rented flat at the moment so I'm a private tenant.
Which should I put?
