 So I've realized that a character in my novel has a job that's incredibly similar to Angel's consulting firm. I didn't mean it to be that way, though I'm sure it came from that a little bit without my brain realizing. I'm so frustrated now though because I need him to have that job, he needs to be a big business man that fraternizes with evil in his work. I need him to have a reason to be around the demons in my story without him actually being friendly with them, because he actually is friendly with them. He actually turns out to be a pretty shitty guy but you can't know that right away. The job is perfect but yet I feel like a thief, though I never intended it to be like that, and now i'm frustrated. 
I want to change it, but I can't think of any other way, I need my main character to see him around the evil. It's central to the plot and I just don't know what to do.
UGH. I'm so frustrated. I guess the job stays, it's really the only way it'll work. I mean the character is nothing like angel personality wise. He's not a vampire, he never was a vampire but he did use to be evil, except unlike angel he's not actually good he's just pretending to be, or I guess trying a little bit to be and failing miserably. 
Plus his business doesn't actually work happily with demons, (or at least no one but him does) they fight against them, they don't allow them in their and they definitely don't have them as part of their clientele. So it's not exactly like angel, at least that's what I'm telling myself.
Plus damn it, I don't know anything about how businesses run, I'm a preschool teacher, and a consulting firm is the only thing I can really bullshit my way through. 
Whatever, by the time this book gets published the young adults who read it probably won't have watched angel.

In other news, I'm working in the afterschooler room and I'm loosing weight daily. They are insane, I'm constantly playing ball or running away or having them pretend to take me to jail. My legs are SO sore right now, probably from the fact that they think it's hilarious to hang onto my legs and have me try to walk.

Tina Turner legs here I come.
