Working concessions. How many jobs have I had again?

[Cole's bored at the carnival, so he's listing them off for entertainment's sake.]

Waiter at some fancy restauraunt. Don't remember the name. Some guy liked to piss in the soup, Burger King (obligatory), McDonalds (obligatory), both at the same time, grocery store sample guy, Chuck E. Cheese ( ( Read more... )

Oh, god. I was 20 (I think) at the time and I really needed a job.

You figure out pretty fast that sometimes you just gotta take what you can get.

Not like that's anything new.

I cannot say that I dislike my job, but I know Koltira spends more time on his communicator stalking others than he does watching the door. Perhaps he finds it mundane.

What job are you currently working?

imonabike January 24 2010, 06:18:55 UTC

I upgraded, apparently. I work with the police. Which is cool.

What's your job?

liadrin January 24 2010, 06:39:51 UTC

Ah, I work alongside them.
Hunting lawbreakers just feels natural, considering my position in my home world. I suppose this makes us allies. [She chuckles to herself; pleased.]

... Whoah, Like a bounty hunter or something?

I assume you mean jobs taken out of desperation for money.

imonabike January 24 2010, 06:48:05 UTC

... [Well, when you put it that way, he's pretty glad you can't see him wince for half a second.]

Sure.

suited_for_it January 24 2010, 06:57:43 UTC

...then for me, it would be killing rats.

Pest control kind of crap?

I was an electrician for a while. [ Pause. ] Wasn't really that crappy 'til the end.

imonabike January 24 2010, 17:55:09 UTC

Oh yeah?

electrouble January 24 2010, 22:12:43 UTC

Yeah. Got in an accident.

imonabike January 24 2010, 22:20:56 UTC

Sorry to hear. Is that... how you got the powers? Because usually that's what happens when there's "accidents" in the comic books, I mean.

In college, because I wanted to support myself while studying and NYU was expensive and scholarships didn't cover everything, I had a lot of odd and terrible jobs. Like working at a movie theater. That was the worst.

[voice] imonabike January 24 2010, 20:29:56 UTC

Movie theatres. I knew I forgot something.
