TAZ NC Day 9: Your Job AU

@taznovembercelebration

Look. Look. The chances of running into someone else who knew magic were very, very small. Lup understood that. Magic, while great, tended to be isolating. She was incredibly lucky to have Taako. Lup couldn't imagine what it was like to grow up not knowing what was wrong with you— maybe not ever knowing there wasn't anything wrong with you. If it hadn't been for their tía, Lup wasn't sure if she would have ever accepted that part of herself.

Yes, magic was rare. Yes, it wasn't typically used in public.

And yes, she was ninety-nine percent sure that this Office Depot employee was magic.

It was just— okay maybe Lup was biased in her belief that you had to be a little magic to be able to work retail. Like, there was no way anyone was getting through that shit with no magic whatsoever. But Lup had been here for exactly ten minutes while Magnus went around looking for a new desk and there was definitely some kind of magic here.

The employee at the print counter had been doing nothing but sorting paper since she got here. Maybe it was a slow day, because while Lup wasn't sure what the print center did, it was probably more than just sorting papers. But this guy had been at it for ten minutes straight, easily separating different types of paper (which all looked the same!) into several different piles. It was getting ridiculous at this point. He was barely even looking at the paper while he did this. There had to be some kind of tomfuckery going on.

Lup looked over her shoulder. There was a lady further into the store browsing through different file folders and she could barely see the top of Magnus's head over the shelves, looking at the desk displays in the back. With the coast clear, she made her way over to the print counter, leaning up against it. The employee had ducked under the counter a second ago, a stack of paper in his hands.

When he rose back up, he jumped slightly upon seeing her and said,

"Oh shi—" He coughed, cutting himself off. His name tag was shiny and had a skull sticker (?) attached to it. It read, Barry and then, on the line below it, I love printing banners! "How, uh— how can I help you?"

"Do you really love printing banners?" Lup asked, instead of the magic-related words she wanted to say.

Barry's eyebrows raised a little. "Love it," he said. Lup gave him a look. "Yeah, nah. I— banners suck. Unless you want to get a banner—?"

"I'm good," Lup said, not knowing what she would even use a banner for right now. "I was just— I came with my friend to look at desks but that's super fuckin' boring—" Barry nodded. "— so I've just kinda been walking around."

If Barry had seen here crouching behind the boxes of paper and staring at her, he didn't say anything.

"And then I was wondering what, uh— what kinda paper options you have. Forrrrr. Printing. On papers."

Lup was so good at this. Barry's lips quirked up into a little smile.

"Depends on what you're wanting to print," he said.

"Forms? No. Photo…graphs. Photographs."

"Well," Barry said, wisely choosing to not question the mess that Lup had just made with her mouth. "Usually for photographs, we've got, uhm— glossier options? Hang on." He ducked back under the counter and returned a second later with two pieces of very shiny paper. "Eight point," he said, handing her one. "Ten point." He handed her the other.

These were the same paper. These were a hundred percent the same paper. If Lup had doubted her reasoning before, she knew now. Either this guy was fucking with her or he had wizardly magics to tell them apart.

"What's, uh, what's the difference?"

"This one's thicker," Barry said, pointing to the ten point.

It wasn't. It really wasn't. Lup weighed them in her hands. There had to be some kinda spell to tell the difference, right? Or maybe this guy was just magically attuned to paper? That was probably a thing that happened. Probably. Like Merle's thing with plants.

Actually, Lup really, really hoped it wasn't like Merle's thing with plants.

"It's hard to tell," Barry said comfortingly in Lup's silence.

"I can tell," Lup said, like a liar. She had to let this guy know she was in on the secret somehow. But he didn't seem to pick up on it. Or, if he did, it was hidden behind the customer service mask. This was getting her nowhere. But she couldn't just straight up ask this guy if he had magic. That'd be weird.

"So, uh, do you have a prefe—"

"Are you magic," Lup interrupted.

"Am I… magic?" Barry repeated.

Lup looked over her shoulder, toward the desk displays. Magnus was currently with another employee, showing them a picture of something on his phone. Probably his dogs. Or his office, if he had managed to stay on track. Lup looked back to Barry and set the papers down. She held out her hand and summoned a flame.

"Ah." Lup wasn't good at reading people, but there was something in Barry's expression that made her think he understood. Or maybe it was the customer service mask again. "That is— that's a fire hazard, ma'am."

It’s been years since I made a neopet, but when I saw this name wasn’t taken I had to make her! ♡ Gonna paint her white or pastel! (Hoping for a ffq!)

If it's one thing I truly love about the new Neopets team, it's that they make a POINT to include aromanticism and nonbinary(-ness?) in their pride merch.

This isn't all their pride merch, this is just the first batch for this year (I expect a second batch) but it's just... It's really nice to see. Usually both are filed under ace and trans, but Neo makes it a point to add them in, and I just really like that.

I’m currently in the airport on my way home after a month and a half in Spain, and I am feeling so sentimental. I had an amazing time and grew a lot as a person, and I’m so thankful to Assumpta for letting me stay with her and just being so loving and kind, and giving me so much advice and opportunities to grow and find myself. I’m hoping to see her again in the fall and do more work with her, as well as more archiving ❤️

The Impact of Address Plaque Signs

Address рlаԛuе ѕignѕ аrе nоt juѕt funсtiоnаl mаrkеrѕ; thеу аrе powerful tооlѕ that can еnhаnсе the рrоfеѕѕiоnаl image of businesses. Lеt'ѕ dеlvе intо thе ѕignifiсаnсе, dеѕign соnѕidеrаtiоnѕ, аnd bеnеfitѕ of address рlаԛuе ѕignѕ for businesses.

The Significance of Address Plаԛuе Signѕ for Businesses Prоfеѕѕiоnаliѕm: Address plaque ѕignѕ соnvеу a ѕеnѕе of рrоfеѕѕiоnаliѕm and аttеntiоn tо dеtаil. They ѕhоw thаt a business cares about itѕ арреаrаnсе аnd iѕ committed tо providing a positive еxреriеnсе for сuѕtоmеrѕ аnd clients.

Brаnding: Cuѕtоmizеd аddrеѕѕ рlаԛuе ѕignѕ саn bе dеѕignеd tо rеflесt a buѕinеѕѕ'ѕ brаnding elements ѕuсh аѕ соlоrѕ, fonts, аnd logos. Thiѕ соnѕiѕtеnсу reinforces brаnd idеntitу and hеlрѕ in brand rесоgnitiоn.

Viѕibilitу: Clеаr аnd wеll-рlасеd address plaque ѕignѕ make it easy fоr customers tо lосаtе a buѕinеѕѕ, especially in соmmеrсiаl аrеаѕ with multiрlе еѕtаbliѕhmеntѕ. Thiѕ еnhаnсеѕ convenience аnd еnсоurаgеѕ fооt trаffiс.

Dеѕign Considerations fоr Addrеѕѕ Plaque Signs Materials: Choose mаtеriаlѕ thаt align with the buѕinеѕѕ'ѕ image and durаbilitу requirements. Fоr еxаmрlе, mеtаl рlаԛuеѕ соnvеу durаbilitу аnd longevity, whilе асrуliс рlаԛuеѕ оffеr a mоdеrn аnd ѕlееk appearance [4].

Sizе and Fоnt: Ensure that thе size аnd fоnt оf the аddrеѕѕ рlаԛuе ѕign аrе legible frоm a diѕtаnсе. Bold fоntѕ and contrasting соlоrѕ саn imрrоvе viѕibilitу, making it еаѕiеr fоr customers to identify thе buѕinеѕѕ lосаtiоn.

Customization: Incorporate unique design еlеmеntѕ thаt rеflесt the business's реrѕоnаlitу and industry. Fоr inѕtаnсе, a law firm mау opt fоr a classic аnd ѕорhiѕtiсаtеd dеѕign, whilе a tесh ѕtаrtuр may рrеfеr a mоrе соntеmроrаrу аnd innоvаtivе lооk.

Benefits оf Address Plаԛuе Signs fоr Buѕinеѕѕеѕ Professional Imаgе: A well-designed аddrеѕѕ рlаԛuе ѕign enhances thе professional imаgе оf a business, inѕtilling truѕt аnd соnfidеnсе in сuѕtоmеrѕ аnd сliеntѕ.

Marketing Oрроrtunitу: Address plaque signs ѕеrvе аѕ ѕubtlе mаrkеting tools bу diѕрlауing the buѕinеѕѕ nаmе and possibly соntасt information. This раѕѕivе advertising саn attract роtеntiаl customers раѕѕing bу.

Nаvigаtiоn Aid: In аdditiоn to еxtеriоr ѕignѕ, intеriоr address plaque signs саn hеlр сuѕtоmеrѕ nаvigаtе lаrgе buѕinеѕѕ premises, imрrоving оvеrаll сuѕtоmеr experience аnd rеduсing соnfuѕiоn.

In conclusion, address рlаԛuе ѕignѕ аrе more thаn just identifiers; they are brаnd аmbаѕѕаdоrѕ that contribute tо a buѕinеѕѕ'ѕ overall ѕuссеѕѕ. Bу invеѕting in high-ԛuаlitу, сuѕtоmizеd аddrеѕѕ рlаԛuе signs, businesses саn create a роѕitivе firѕt impression, rеinfоrсе brаnd identity, аnd improve customer соnvеniеnсе. Whеthеr it'ѕ a storefront, office building, оr соmmеrсiаl complex, address рlаԛuе ѕignѕ play a vitаl rоlе in enhancing thе viѕibilitу аnd рrоfеѕѕiоnаliѕm оf buѕinеѕѕеѕ, mаking thеm a worthwhile invеѕtmеnt fоr lоng-tеrm ѕuссеѕѕ.

Working on a custom for my new Baby Ogrin! :D She’s so cute! I’m really excited to get to work NC trading xD

[paperzombiie]

@raavaravo ha dicho: ahhhh incredible! love the outfit to come! can we see all your customizations? i only ever made halfhearted customizations, i didn’t take this dress up opportunity seriously enough!!!

thanks a lot! I actually made a masterlist of all my permie pets here a while ago but I modified some of their customizations (and even adopted new pets lol) so I'm going to repost all my faves so far!

these four are a metalcore band and some of my absolute fav pets I have ;__; the flotsams are brothers and they're the ones who started the band

I finally figured out Arpazia's customization and I'm pretty satisfied with it for now! I prefer to cover the red and yellow parts of the Eventide pets as much as I can :'D

Trentcha is the newest addition to the family, I wanted him to look like some sort of paranormal investigator a la Constantine who's constantly surrounded by demons and other dark spirits

some more updated customizations I love, I really enjoy dressing up my pets ;u;

Choosing the Right Fence Company Jacksonville NC for Your Needs

For purposes of increasing the security of your compound and also beautification, then you should consider getting a fence. Jacksonville NC is a hub of numerous companies, but choosing the right fence company is very important. Whether you’re planning to have a wooden privacy fence or aesthetic vinyl fence, or a secure chain-link fence, it is important to work with the right people who can offer quality work and outstanding customer relations.

The Importance of Choosing a Professional Fence Company

A fence serves multiple purposes: it offers protection, defines ownership and can add beauty to your compound. However, the effectiveness of a fence depends on the quality of installation that is done on it. Here are some reasons why you should consider working with a reputable fence company in Jacksonville NC:

1. Expertise and Experience

Fence professionals have the ability, skill, and expertise required in providing different kinds of fencing services. They understand the local laws, boundaries and the zoning laws and make sure that the fence that you want to put up complies with the law.

2. Quality Materials

If you hire the right fence contractor in Jacksonville, then you stand to benefit from the best quality brands and material. These companies usually purchase their products from reliable manufacturers hence your fence will last long and can also withstand harsh weather conditions.

3. Customized Solutions

Each property is different and a proper fence company will be able to provide the best solution for your individual case. If you need to improve the security level, want more privacy, or just want to make your home look nicer, an expert will be able to help you choose the most suitable style and material for your job.

Why Jacksonville Fence Pros Stands Out

We take pride in being one of the top fencing companies in Jacksonville, FL at Jacksonville Fence Pros. We offer value added services such as high quality work, excellent customer relations and affordable prices.

Our Range of Services

We offer a comprehensive range of fencing services to meet all your needs:

Residential Fencing: We know how crucial it is to make a home environment secure and attractive for your family members. If you are in need of a privacy fence, an ornamental fence, or a fence for your garden, we will be able to assist you on the right type of fence to complement the exterior of your home.

Commercial Fencing: Security solutions are needed by companies. We focus on commercial fencing to guarantee your property security is enhanced by our fences while creating a positive corporate image.

Custom Fencing Solutions: Every property is unique, and that is why customers can get a unique fence design from us. We will sit with you and ensure that you get the fence that you want by offering you the best services.

Repairs and Maintenance: Fences are not permanent structures and can look old over time but our team is always on hand to fix or renovate the fence to make it look new again. Our services will help maintain your fence in the best condition as it was from the time of installation.

Commitment to Quality

Our team of professional fence contractors is composed only of experienced individuals. We invest our time in listening to you and then producing a product that will meet or surpass your expectations. We do not only deliver quality fence installation services but we also provide maintenance and repair services.

Choosing the Right Fence for Your Property

When selecting a fence for your property, there are several factors to consider:

1. Purpose of the Fence

Are you searching for security, privacy or beauty? The use of the fence will dictate what material and style you should use in the construction of the fence.

2. Local Regulations

It is also important to review some of the zoning laws before putting a fence around your compound. Some local laws may prohibit the height of the fence, the type of material to be used or even location of the fence. A professional fence company will be aware of these laws so as to be in a position to assist in compliance.

3. Material Options

There are different types of materials out there such as woods, vinyl, aluminum, and chain link. Each material is unique in its strengths and weaknesses, and our team will be glad to guide you to the most suitable choice depending on the cost, design, and required level of care for the selected material.

4. Budget

It is important to set your budget before you embark on your fencing project. You should also talk to the company you select about your budget since they can suggest options that meet your spending limit while being high quality.

Benefits of Installing a Fence

Investing in a fence offers numerous benefits:

Increased Security: A strong fence can act as a barrier to the potential intruders and help homeowners to have a good night sleep.

Privacy: Privacy fences are important since they give one that area a close expectation free from observation by the next door neighbor or any onlooker.

Property Value: A good fence helps to make your property more valuable and beautiful if it is well maintained.

Defined Boundaries: Boundaries are well defined thus minimizing conflicts with neighbors and improving interaction.
