Form #1030 Post Mission Report

Mission: The Glitch in Sleep [037001]

Filed by: F. Becker Drane

Summary:

All in all, I would say that the Glitch in Sleep went pretty well. There were a few minor Blunders on my part, but thankfully I was able to recover and, using proper techniques, complete the Mission at hand. I had fun doing it, per Fixing 302, and ultimately The World was saved and Sleep restored to said persons. Despite the Degree of Difficulty involved, it was a great first Mission for me and I am proud to have gone on it.

Areas for Improvement:

Well, there was one small, minor mistake, which we don't have to get into any further, but I would say following the Rules a little more closely would probably be a good idea for me next time. Unless they have to be broken, of course.

Rate Your Briefer (112): 10

Simly performed extremely well during the Mission and I would recommend him highly to any other Fixer, as well as possibly to be considered for promotion someday.

Confidence still an issue.

Suggestions Box:

I know everyone complains about this, but it would be really great if we could get better Receiver reception within The Seems. Maybe a Fixer or a Mechanic could be a.s.signed to add another tower or increase the amplitude of the existing one? Also, this might not be the place to talk about it, but I was thinking maybe we should change the Rotation system to be less random and more tailored to whoever is right for the job. That way someone with experience with Glitches might have gotten this one, instead of me. (Not that I'm complaining.)

Whether catching the Breeze or checking your local pond or lake for proper s.h.i.+mmer is your cup of tea, we invite you to fill out the following SAT (Seemsian Apt.i.tude Test) or visit our Web site, theseems.com.

Even if we can't fulfill your employment request at this time, we keep a large file of completed SATs on hand.After all, you never know when you might be called upon to chip in for the cause.
