I want that patch.
I'm making fun of my own job, here. My day job, that is——the one that pays me. I started out as the Sole Surviving technical writer doing documentation for a 500+ person call center, but recently, I got moved to the Communication team in my department because they didn't know where else to put me. In the civilian workforce, "Communications" is a bullshit title that just means, "We don't know what else to call you." I assume it's probably the same in the military. It's a comfortable, uncontroversial word to get your mouth around, but doesn't really describe anything. As my list of tasks grew higher and more varied, it became clear it was a catch-all for whatever nobody else wants to do.
I joked at one point that any schmuck with a smartphone could be a "communication expert".
I write about 70% of the drafts for the fics and comics here on my iPhone during breaks and downtime and sometimes when my brain just needs to escape. At roughly 30K+ words, I'm quite the Mobile Intelligent Communication Expert by now, thankyouverymuch.
Seriously thinking about tweaking the design a bit and getting an order of these patches made. I need to order at least 50 to keep the cost down to about $6 a patch. I have no desire in peddling my own merch, so I'd sell them at cost + shipping if I can get enough interest (*hint hint*). I've got about 20 people interested right now, so I might just do it anyway. I could use some morale *.
* Patches like the one above that don't designate official stuff like rank or title are called "morale patches." I didn't know that before I started researching and designing this one. So now you know it too if you didn't before. See, comics are educational!
