You say you're good with machinery?

I wonder if this means you're not good with people?

[chrysophilist]

That is like, the exact opposite of true. I love people! Why would liking machina mean I couldn't like people, anyway?

[youropponentis]

[chrysophilist]

[youropponentis]

This is serious.

How are you with talking to people while manning a machine?

[encrypted]

[chrysophilist]

It's still silly to me.

[youropponentis]

If you are as good as you say you are, I might have a job for you.

[encrypted]

[chrysophilist]

What kinda job?

[encrypted]

[youropponentis]

A receptionist.

[encrypted]

[chrysophilist]

Not my kinda machina.

[encrypted]

[youropponentis]

It's still a job, isn't it?

[encrypted]

[chrysophilist]

I'll pass.

[encrypted]

[youropponentis]

If you insist.
