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

I'm pretty sure you at least have to be able to know a coma when you see it to become a doctor.

[datswhatshesaid]

Well, Gene, not everyone is in a coma, so obviously I could still help.

[live_ringer]

Well, being able to tell when somebody would be left in a hospital bed and when they would be taken to the morgue is pretty key.

But go ahead and enlighten me, other kind of medical knowledge do you have?

[datswhatshesaid]

The whole point of getting a new job is to learn how to do it. They will train me at the clinic so that I know how to do things.

[desig_survivor]

If you can find one that'll take you.

[Rogue would suggest Scavenger, but... he's a Scavenger.]

[datswhatshesaid]

Not a problem, Rogue. No problemo, senor.

If you want to be a doctor, what's stopping you? I'm an intern right now!

[datswhatshesaid]

Really? Oh, great! Hey, do you think you could put a good word in for me?

[trustingtruth]

Hey, sure. What's your name? I'm Trust.

[datswhatshesaid]

It's nice to meet you, Trust, I'm Boss. And it's also my name, which is Boss.

On second thought, I don't think I want to be a doctor.

[crownofsnow]

Ah, being a medic is demanding work. There's a lot to learn and if you're sure you can make the commitment, you'll be saying good bye to most of your sleep.

[datswhatshesaid]

Really? Ech... Okay, nevermind.

[crownofsnow]

What do you feel like doing? What feels familiar? That's how I went about getting a job.

[datswhatshesaid]

What feels familiar? Making people laugh. Making people smile, and say "That's a good one!" and... People applauding me, and cheering me on, and being the best of friends with... everyone. That's what feels familiar.

[moonlit_mirage]

I suggest you work for me at the bookstore.

[datswhatshesaid]

Books... Well, I like some books.
