After high school, I attended a tech school, learning about CAD -- Computer Aided Design, and also CNC -- Computer Numerical Control, which takes the CAD information and actually manufactures the object, following the CAD instructions. I did very well in my training, if I say so myself. The various teachers praised my quick mind -- even the ones that weren't ogling my body. As I was about to graduate, the president of the school called me into her office.
"Since you're the top of your graduating class, Ms. Renfold, I've referred you to a major CAD/CNC company that does military work. I can also arrange an interview there for you, if you want it," she informed me. "I worked there at one time, and they are on the cutting edge of the industry and had the latest equipment even back then. I can't imagine what strides they may have made since then. Do you have a problem working on military contracts?"
"On the contrary," I replied. "I think I'd find the work interesting and it would certainly expand my education. I'd love to interview there, and thank you for this opportunity!" It didn't hurt any that the company was just outside the city on the same side where I lived so it'd be an easy drive. I was given the address and drove out to meet with their personnel department.
Pulling into the outer lot, I noticed that there were not many cars present. All around the property, there was a high fence with barbed wire on it. I guessed that since they worked on military contracts, such security was necessary. I fixed my skirt and checked my hair and headed to the front gate.
Following the directions stated on the sign at the gate, I pressed the buzzer, and noted two video cameras aimed at me.
"Yes? May I help you?" said a voice on the speaker.
I tried a friendly wave at one of the cameras. "Yes, I have an appointment with the personnel department."
"Name, please?"
"I'm Miss Renfold," I replied.
There followed a sound like 'BBBBBBBbzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz' coming from the gate.
The gate opened, and as I entered, it immediately closed behind me.
A woman met me in the lobby, and escorted me to a conference room. "Please wait here, Miss Renfold. Someone from personnel will be here very soon," she said, smiling. When she left, I looked around the room and again saw cameras watching me. I tried not to be nervous.
After I'd waited a short time, a woman from personnel came in caring a folder and greeted me. My jaw dropped a little in admiration. She was so attractive that she could've been a leading actress! I tried to look professional and not salivate too much, but my heart was going pitta-pat in my chest. When she sat next to me, her scent... was it perfume? body spray? Just her natural essence?... wafted into my nostrils and it was a little more difficult to remain professional.
I'd noticed both of the women I'd met so far wore photo IDs, which gave me a reason to stare briefly at her chest -- at least, I tried to keep the stare brief. "Hello, my name is Darlene. Before we get started, I must inform you that there'll be a security clearance investigation background check that is required to be performed on you. Do you feel you can pass it? Is there anything in your past that might prevent you passing?"
I thought for a moment and answered, " I feel I can certainly pass a security check. I have nothing weird in my past of which I'm aware. I'm so plain and clean that I squeak." Little did she know about my private fantasies, but I wasn't about to mention those.
Smiling, she opened the folder and read it. "Yes, you seem to have a clean background as far as this preliminary report that I have, and your grades are very good -- no, they are excellent!" In a very professional manner, she finger printed me, stating that my finger prints had to be sent to the FBI.
The remainder of the interview went well, and I then was given a brief tour. I noticed as I was guided into areas, as she announced my presence, work would stop. As I entered, things were covered and monitors were flicked to screen savers. In one area, she said, "If you're hired, this is the area in which you might be working. This is the most advanced CAD/CNC equipment in the entire country," she stated proudly.
When the tour concluded, she led me back to the lobby, and watched as I walked to the gate, which buzzed open as I approached. Getting into my car, I was excited! It looked like a great place to work! And all those lovely women! "Hmmm... did I see any men at all?" I mentally asked myself, and the answer seemed to be 'not one' which may have been strange, but I sure appreciated the scenery anyway.
However, 1 week went by, then 2 weeks, then 3 weeks -- and I heard nothing. I was very saddened and disappointed. But finally the phone rang, and it was the owner's secretary. "Miss Renfold? We finally received your full security clearance, and the job is yours if you still want it. If so, can you come in Monday morning for intake processing?"
"I'm thrilled for the chance to work with you all! Yes, I'll be there bright and early!" I replied. I had noticed all those women were dressed very nice, almost overdressed but it added to the excitement of the environment. So I went to look through my clothes to decide what to wear on Monday.
Darlene, the woman from personnel that I'd met before greeted me and we started on the paperwork. The intake processing was very detailed. There were all kinds of legal papers to sign, including a very detailed Non-Disclosure Agreement, of which the secretary gave me a copy, so I could memorize the restrictions. My picture was taken, and I blushed a little during that, because I'd forgotten I was wearing my eternity collar that day, as I do every day.
She gave me a more thorough tour of the facility and this time the lights next to various doors were pointed out to me. She explained, "If the red light was on at any door, you must knock first then wait until the door is answered." As I was introduced, I again noticed that all the people I met were women and all were quite attractive. Several seemed to be giving me appraising looks, but I might have been imagining that. It took about half the day for all the paperwork and introductions. I was shown the CAD/CNC area more closely and I was amazed at this equipment -- it was truly state of the art! I couldn't wait to get started on it!
The two of us went back to the conference room. When we entered, it was obvious that there was a new folder on the table that had not been there before. Darlene opened it. Smiling she said, "You've been fully approved. Can you start tomorrow at 9 am?" Gleefully I assured her that I could. Then she casually added, "Oh by the way, the owner of the company wants to talk to you now. She likes to really get to know all her people."
As I entered the boss's outer office her secretary used the intercom to announce me. Hearing a confirmation that all was ready, the secretary showed me into the big office of the boss. To my surprise, the boss turned out to be a woman seemingly only a few years older than me. I was shown in, she immediately closed and covered some papers she'd been reading. "Ah... Arin, isn't it? I'm Mary, so I'd prefer that you call me that. Please make yourself comfortable." I was a bit taken aback by her appearance, since she reminded me of Bettie Page! She had long black hair and a figure that was really something, but her face was like the girl next door. I stared for a second until I realized she'd asked me to sit.
We chatted almost like old friends, very relaxed and informal. "I actually kept my eye on your performance and progress in school, and received favorable reports about you from your instructors. I also noticed your eternity collar, and enjoy seeing a woman openly indulging in her kinky nature. I felt you'd fit right in here with us," she confided.
"Are there actually only women working here?", I asked, curious.
She replied, "Let's just say I'm leveling the playing field for women. And with the programs we work on here, no one is liable to start trouble, in my opinion." She flicked a switch. "I've just activated the red light outside my door. Do you understand what that means?"
"Yes, Mary. It means that people must knock on the door if they want to see you, and wait until you open the door."
