Observation XXVI [voice]

[apathetickthx]

Perhaps Echo should choose a job with less...prose errors that require correcting next month.

[Yeah...an editing job should not need this many corrections in one stanza. Echo never ran through so many red pens before.]

Hi co-worker

[pishirogane]

[She's a small fan of good poetry, but this is giving her a headache. ... Wait, that was her... oh come on!]

Echo-san, do you have a spare pen? [I bought fifty the other day and they can't last this whole week of this...]

Oh hai!

[apathetickthx]

[Making sure to pick up one from the ever-shrinking unused row, Echo passed a pen over.]

Of course. [Yes, this job is complete murder on pens. So many lives lost.]

So, about this job...

[pishirogane]

[Accepts the pen]

Thank you. [Back to work. What needs fixing? Who knows at this point. The paper is completely red with corrections and suggestions for improvement...]

So you think we'd be in trouble if we set all of these on fire?

[apathetickthx]

[And Echo returns to her work as well. When was her shift over again? Even this much writing was making her hand start to ache.]

[Thankfully not too much longer. Just need to finish this last poem...]

[...This one will take awhile.]

[princess_tenko]

That tends to be what happens when deadlines get involved.

[apathetickthx]

Echo does not think the entire problem lies in the time frame.

[princess_tenko]

Certainly not, but it's probably a contributing factor none the less.

Is it hard?

/pounces >3

[apathetickthx]

The work is not hard, merely time consuming.

[protectmypride]

Oh, I see... But I think having work is better than not, right?

[apathetickthx]

Sometimes the type of work can be used as a valid counterargument.
