Fox people. Definitely the fox men of yor. Your trespass will not go unpunished.

The job I applied for is running a criminal background check. I know there's nothing to find, but this is something that hasn't been done before, and it worries me a bit anyway.
There's really nothing to worry about. I've had to get a couple of background checks done and there's basically no involvement on your part.

I'm mostly worried about them contacting my previous employers, the local management of one of which was composed of evil and vindictive assholes that kicked me out for fraudulent reasons because they saw me as a threat to their position. I've long suspected (but have no way to prove, else I'd already have launched a slander/libel suit) that my long chain of "abort halfway through the hiring process" was related to the HR of the new place calling them and getting fed bullshit.

Damn man. That sucks. :(

I was riding my bike through a forest. I stopped to drink, when I heard something like a scream turning into a loud inhalation, coming from everywhere at once. It lasted about 20 seconds. Noped right out of there.

Nothing's gone wrong yet, and the hiring process is proceeding at breakneck speed. After a second interview next week I may have two hiring managers (same company, different departments) fighting over me, which is nice. Also terrifying, but nice.

My house is infested with giant spiders. They are like 3.5 inches long and there are lots.

What you're telling me is you don't need to worry about bugs.

Thanks, you reminded me of that spider like thing on the ceiling above me.

Random chemicals on the desk, spider-like thing on the ceiling, random screaming in the woods nearby...

Polish countryside ―\_(ツ)_/― That spiderlike thing is a bug that looks like a spider but isn't a spider. Why steampunk though?

First thing that came to mind to encapsulate the spirit of strange abominations of science, chemical concoctions, and letting random creatures loose in the woods. :v

Also I was reading Girl Genius a few weeks back so that probably got involved too.
