I keep meaning to post about my AWESOME LANYARD OF AWESOME, so here it is. A while back I wrote a story for NaNoWriMo that mentioned lanyards, and starandrea made me one, and now that I have to have a badge to get into the building where I work, I have the perfect excuse to bring it with me every day!

(The best part of this post is that I tried to write it at work, and I wanted to find the quote that mentioned the lanyards. But I couldn’t find my fic! Dreamwidth wouldn’t load (google kept saying ‘do you mean dreamwidth.com’ and I was all YES! I DO! and it still wouldn’t work). But there were some slow moments today, so I persevered.)

(Eventually I googled ‘nimby lanyard harold al’ Bam. First result.)

“Everyone who checked in at the house got a beacon. (And a lanyard. Harold was particularly proud of the lanyards; they said “NIMBY Center” in English, as well as a variety of non-Earth languages. He’d had to order a thousand, though, to get the rainbow color assortment, so they had cartons of them stacked in the basement.)”
