Hi. I'm... Dr. Spencer Reid. At home, I work with the FBI as a behavioral analyst, or profiler. I'm trying to figure out what to... do with myself here.
[ Reid is a thin, young-looking man with too-wide eyes and nearly shoulder-length unkempt hair. That combined with the cardigan, tie, and lightly patterned button-up makes him look extremely dated. It's not hard to believe him as a federal employee by clothes alone, although his age is constantly remarked upon.
He doesn't sound uncertain about addressing the wider audience of the network-- although he is, and especially about using technology this way-- but he does sound like he's choosing his words with care, enunciating clearly and with even, unhurried pacing. ]
If there's anyone that currently works for the local police, I'd like to speak with you regarding whether you think there's a use for my skills in that environment. I have done field work, but I wouldn't say it's my strong suit. Otherwise I'm considering taking up teaching at the university. I've been a TA for undergraduate classes before, although I think I'm better suited to leading graduate-level seminars. If anyone currently takes classes there, it would be helpful to hear about your experiences.
... I also noticed they're looking for librarians at the public library. Uh. I don't think that alone would keep me... sufficiently occupied, but. I could do it.
I'd like to optimize my time here by putting my skills wherever they're most needed. So I'm open to other suggestions. And-- looking for a physical therapist. And possibly an orthopedist. Thank you.
[ It cuts off abruptly. Reid can do public speaking, but it's far from his favorite past time. ]

no subject
[and he actually remembered to introduce himself this time. he's counting that as a win.]
You'd probably be better off talking to the Captain, but I'm a CSI at the CPD if that helps? I mean, there's not all that much to do here considering how little crime takes place. But he likes to keep the department fully staffed anyway, so I'm sure he wouldn't mind talking to you about joining.
no subject
[ Spencer doesn't quite sound perfunctory about the social nicety but it definitely comes off just a tad bit rehearsed. He meets a lot of people.
Finally getting to meet someone in the local law enforcement, though, makes him perk up. ] Who's the Captain and how do I find them? I was considering requesting to sign on in a consultant capacity. I'd probably just get in the way for most smaller crimes, but if there's anything they thought I could help on, I'd like to be called in.
no subject
[okay, so maybe it's more a case of he doesn't like being interrupted by overly happy csi's in the middle of the day. but what can you do?]
I don't see why that shouldn't be possible though. I know I'm not in charge of hiring or anything, but it can't hurt to have someone with your background on the team.
no subject
[ Usually it's JJ calling ahead of their team, but... Reid can call on behalf of himself, it just sends a pang of homesickness, missing-others, through him. It's not something he'd ordinarily be responsible for doing. ]
Hopefully you won't need me. [ But Reid isn't holding his breath. He loves humanity, but he wouldn't call himself an optimist. ] I'm also versed in handwriting analysis and reconstructing a sequence of events from crime scenes, along with geographical profiling. Essentially anything with patterns. [ A beat. ] It might be too weird to me if I just take six months off from law enforcement.
