I just got a strange call here at work....
When I transferred over to the F/A-18 Avionics FST, I encountered the severe absence of reference materials to use in my engineering investigations. I requested an access account with Boeing (formerly McDonnell Douglas - the company that makes the Hornet). They guy I had to deal with gets me on a conference call with someone else to verify that I was really applying for access.
"Uh, yeah. I need access to do my work" I said.
"We already have a MY REAL NAME listed in our database. We wanted to make sure we weren't duplicating your account" the third person, a lady, says.
"Well, this is news to me" I replied.
"Can you verify the last four numbers of your social security number"?
"Sure - it is XXXX".
"Yup, that's you alright".
"Hmmmm....that's weird cause this is the first time I've dealt with Boeing on an official basis" I commented.
So now I'm wondering.....could there be more than one of me?
Could I possibly have travelled back from the future to confound and confuse the poor folks over at the Boeing office?
Might there be a logical reason that I already have an access account and am completely clueless about obtaining it in the past?

Hey, just 'cause I'm paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get me!

just 'cause you're paranoid doesn't mean you're paranoid enough!
