12.2 A job's a job is a job

13 Reasons you do the job you do

1. Big fat destiny
2. I try not to be hypocritical. I enlisted all the potentials by making them slayers in their own right. It’d be hypocritical of me to stop slaying now. Not to mention selfish.
3. The world. It has all the people I love in it. Also, really great shoes.
4. Chicks with super powers are hot.
5. A 9 to 5 is boring.
6. Like it or not, there’s this instinct that drives me. It’s like an itch that only slaying scratches.
7. Sometimes, it really is fun. Like when I win? I love winning.
8. Someone has to do it.
9. Because there are people out there who want so bad for the world to be a better place and they try and they put everything they have into it. I can help nudge that along if I’m doing my job.
10. Because to paraphrase someone who gets it: the world isn’t what it should be so we live as if it is, to show it what it can be.
11. Quit is apparently a word but I don’t have it in my vocabulary.
12. They said I can’t. They said I was supposed die when I was sixteen and stay dead. I like looking prophecies in the face and saying neener neener.
13. One of these days, when I am gone, I want to the people who love me to remember that I did things my way.
