getting some thoughts down now and then running some errands. if anything is unclear i’ll come back later and clarify it.
this was a very interesting free gift with my order. fortunately i was planning to be in close quarters so it would be a perfect time to test.

self effects:
none, or if there were any, they were very subtle. i know there were none initially; i’m not sure about after 20 minutes or so because things seemed to smooth out. either this was a self effect or i was just calming down from the hype of getting a new order.
effects to others:
my test area was the bank. i use a debit card and manually called in to renew it before the expiration date, and a new one was sent to me. i guess the system automatically does this too because a few days later i got another card in the mail and a letter saying it was renewed. i wanted to go close out one of the cards and also make sure my savings and checking accounts were doing well.
initial contact was 25 minutes after app. no line, so i walked up to a lady at the counter and asked to speak with a card rep. she called up a rep and quickly i left with him. pleasant smiles during the brief encounter with the counter gal.
the rep took me to his office, a tiny little room with a desk and a few chairs. nice enclosed area to spread the mix. i explained my situation and he understood. then he explained to me that it was his first week on the job (second day, i think) and he didn’t know how to close out a card, so he had to go get his supervisor. all the more people to test with. he comes back a minute later with his supervisor. the rep stumbles over a few things in the system and the supervisor calmly guides him through the process. as he’s working i talk with both of them about current financial strategies. they both reply with great information.
total length of exposure was around 15 minutes. everyone was very friendly when i left.
conclusion:
so far so good on this mix. no negative effects. no -none feel at all. brief time with counter gal did not allow for testing the sexual aspect. slight hint of status, but that could be confounded with me being a customer of the bank and them wanting to treat everyone right. seems to be good social properties. not blabby like spaceland, more like a smooth conversation.
