[Ordinarily, stories about prison breaks and explosions would be right up Spike's alley. Today, however, he seems stressed out over something completely different. As if the upcoming holiday -- he hates all holidays, but this one in particular is the worst -- wasn't enough, he's been unemployed for way too long. Bills are going to start stacking up ( Read more... )

[Spike ... why, what ...]

What.

gottaknockhard November 21 2011, 19:27:34 UTC

Jobs. I need them.

[That about covers it. He should learn to be more concise next time.]

icarustattoo November 21 2011, 19:59:29 UTC

Since when.

gottaknockhard November 21 2011, 20:02:52 UTC

Roughly since I lost my last one.

[By coming here. Totally not his fault.]

[Hi. She'll drown her sorrows in mocking you instead. It helps!]

Somehow I doubt the jokes will get you anywhere.

[Read: because they suck and everyone with a sense of humor would agree]

[Hi. He's just listening to the sound of your voice and sobbing on the inside.]

[She can sense you and your sad "Hi" from all the way at the coffee shop!! STOP IT.]

[BUT SISTER O' MINE...!]

[Awww... is the FEAR too much to take?]

I am not letting you anywhere near my kitchen.

gottaknockhard November 21 2011, 20:07:05 UTC

[There was one flaw in that theory... The fear doesn't work when there's no jobs to be had. Also! He didn't quit his last job, it just wasn't willing to relocate with him.]

Nice of you to help out a friend.

huntersdaughter November 23 2011, 04:44:45 UTC

I'm always helping you, but I just don't trust you with food preparation.

gottaknockhard November 23 2011, 13:05:52 UTC

You think I'd eat everything, don't you? [Which he would, but he'll be offended anyway!] I do have some self-control.

Not bad... but I think you need a bit more practice if you want to go pro.

gottaknockhard November 21 2011, 21:37:56 UTC

[What is this lack of support for his brilliant-- no, it's okay, he knows his prospects are terrible.]

I'm open to other ideas.

optimystically November 21 2011, 21:47:17 UTC

You should be a detective!

gottaknockhard November 21 2011, 22:21:27 UTC

[Well that sounds cool.]

Do I get to wear the hat?

How do you feel about candy shops?

gottaknockhard November 22 2011, 14:15:19 UTC

[...unexpected response.]

In general?

likethetragedy November 22 2011, 14:43:34 UTC

And as a possible job opportunity.

gottaknockhard November 22 2011, 15:02:02 UTC

[There's a considering pause here... He really does need something soon. All those bills!]

I'd say that's one above man whore. [Yes, someone suggested that too.] What is it, like a clerk?
