Fixer Uppers, Sunday
Well, Jim had survived his first week on Earth, for better or worse, and had somehow managed to get himself a job while he was at it. Considering the conditions of getting the job had involved him flying his surfer into a garbage can in an alleyway last weekend, he still wasn't entirely certain what to make of it all. The fact that his boss was apparently both insane and severely colorblind didn't help that much, either.
But getting to use the equipment here, and get paid for it?
Apparently, Jim had been sent to Heaven for summer camp, not Earth.
Today was going to be spent looking over all of the little odds and ends that were sitting around here, so that he could better acquaint himself to the differences between Earth technologies and the far more familiar materials that he worked with back home. So far, the lack of more solar-powered devices was getting kind of disappointing. The plug-in appliances were kind of cool, though.
The radio that he'd demolished in his efforts to figure out how they made use of electricity here probably didn't agree, so much. But on the plus side, when he put it together again with the help of a few other parts he'd found sitting around, it also doubled as a cellular phone. And a toaster.
[Open! And OCD-Free! Whee!]
