Dear Employee 6734 - (INSERT NAME)

by Reinette58 @ 2008-05-19 - 18:00:17

My husband's long-service notification email began with these words.

Laughingly I asked if it was anything like 'Hostile 17' - Buffyverse-speak for Spike the Vampire in Series 4 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

He replied, "No, but if they keep poking and prodding at me like they did today, I'll be more hostile than 17 ever was!"

What a brave new world we live in.

Dehumanised, pressured to toe the line, reduced to bar codes (just like with the xenomorphic behaviour-modication, subdermal governor microchip inserted in poor Spike's neck).

Sheesh, I was a science geek before they even had a word for it!
