Lucky Number 8

[datswhatshesaid]

So, I've been thinking about what Derrick said, and I'm wondering if I should find a job. It would be something to do during the day. I'm not... Eh. I'm not really into work. As long as it's something where, I don't need to work very much, or for very long, and... I can do whatever I want. Something like that would be great.

I'm thinking... Maybe

[Cara stares at this for a few minutes. She is not familiar with this kind of attitude.]

...Well it wouldn't be work if there wasn't work, would it? Maybe somewhere in the Bazaar is looking for help, try there?

[datswhatshesaid]

I don't know... You think they might hire me?

[feathered_earth]

Maybe! But you need a better attitude than that one if you really want a job.

[datswhatshesaid]

Phhhbbbbbb... Okay, new attitude. Check.

[fakingafool]

How long have you even been here? Hell, even I have a job.

[datswhatshesaid]

Look, that doesn't matter, okay? I'm trying to find work, here, and how long I've been here doesn't matter.

[fakingafool]

Why would anyone want to hire you if you want to do fuck all all day? Sounds stupid to me.

[datswhatshesaid]

Well... no one asked you.

I'm not sure the medical field is exactly your calling. Ask Genius if you'd like to borrow one of the lab-coats for dress-up, though.

Why not start your own business? Just a little store or booth in the market, selling [pause] ideas? You seem to be full of them.

[datswhatshesaid]

Bell, my man! Always giving me ideas. I like it!

Really? You think people would pay money for them?

[grab_my_bells]

Maybe I should market my ideas, too.

Well, why not? Not everyone can think for themselves, or wants to all of the time, hm?

[datswhatshesaid]

You should! Hey, maybe we should start a business together? I've got all sorts of ideas of what to call it. [Anddd that's a ping.]

I think... I think I just had a revelation. Maybe, if I focus, I can...

[Just... stares for a bit. Boss. Y so idiotic.]

The parameters you have stated for whatever job you will eventually take pretty much guarantee you are unemployable.

[datswhatshesaid]

A little negative on the attitude there, Fred. Try to be more positive. No one likes a quitter.

[burntorangesky]

Be that as it may, it is rather inadvisable to spend all your time building castles in the air. A modicum of realism is appreciated by many.

[datswhatshesaid]

And that's not a problem, because I haven't been building any.

[spandexisyouth]

I think it is not the uniform that you should be concerned with when picking a job.

[datswhatshesaid]

Well... It's part of it.

[spandexisyouth]

Why?

[datswhatshesaid]

Part of business is looking your best, because appearances are important. If I was a dentist and I looked terrible wearing my dentist's apron, and I was going to work on someone's mouth- not that I would, because that's disgusting- they might go 'Ew, gross! I don't trust you as a dentist, because a real dentist would never look that bad!"
