:/ [08:06] *** Sat Sep 27 2008 - LOGGING START *** [08:06] *** Topic is - LOL Loser - [08:06] *** Set by SpeedRcrX on Sat Sep 27 08:06 2008 [08:07] <FireFly_9  > So I am excited inside by the chance of a weekend to get away from the damnable store and back home to rest from the week when my employer comes up and asks in that puppy-dog voice of his, "Hotaru-kun, can you work Saturday?"
[08:08] <[gTV]C'est_la_V  > Did you tell him to jump off a ridge??
[08:09] <FireFly_9 > No, but I wanted to. Just because I have a family at home willing to support me doesn't mean I can just walk away from things. I have to treat this as if I was own my own, fully. So I need this job.
[08:09] <SpeedRcrX  > Yeah and he knows it which is why he's f[BLEEP]king you over.
[08:10] <FireFly_9 > This will be the SECOND week in a row I wont' have a proper weekend. And the worst of it is that I'm so tired after working that any free time I *do* have I just want to spend in a daze instead of enjoying it.
[08:10] <[gTV]C'est_la_V > Welcome to retail, Hotaru-chan??
[08:10] <FireFly_9 > "Welcome to hell" is more like it.
[08:10] <SpeedRcrX > Like there's a difference?
[08:11] <FireFly_9 > I now fully understand and appreciate all the connotations of the phrase "wage slave".
[08:11] <FireFly_9 > It is a truism beyond reproach.
[08:12] <FireFly_9 > I make a pittance, I have to wear some stupid brightly-colored shirt that doesn't suit me at all and I am subject to the whims of my maanger like a marionette having her strings pulled.
[08:13] <SpeedRcrX > LOL give up and come home
[08:13] <FireFly_9 > Some days I think about it.
[08:13] <FireFly_9 > Some days I really do.
[08:13] <FireFly_9 > But I'm no quitter, Haruka-poppa.
[08:13] <FireFly_9 > I will tough this out.
[08:14] <SpeedRcrX > LOL you're trying to pull a whole Prince and the Pauper thing but the fairy tale ended with the Prince coming home.
[08:14] <FireFly_9 > :/
[08:15] <[gTV]C'est_la_V > A wise man once said something on the back of a coffee cup:
[08:15] <FireFly_9 > Who said that?
[08:15] <[gTV]C'est_la_V > Bruce Campbell-sama
[08:16] <SpeedRcrX > ASH!!!
[08:16] <[gTV]Red Crow  > Oh yeah, he said that on the back of a Starbuck's cup. I had to drink that overpriced burnt-sludge one time.
[08:17] <FireFly_9 > Karasuma-san, from everything I've seen of you, you never complain about your work. Why is that?
[08:17] <[gTV]Red Crow > I love my work.
[08:17] <[gTV]Red Crow > I love every second of it.
[08:18] <[gTV]Red Crow > The difference between me and you, kid, is that I do what I love all the time. You're just stuck in a dead-end job trying to do what you love but being treated like just another cog in the machine.
[08:18] <[gTV]Red Crow > You're going to burn out.
[08:18] <FireFly_9 > I'm already there.
[08:18] <[gTV]Red Crow > Then change careers.
[08:19] <FireFly_9 > Don't you think I'm looking to? The market is sparse.
[08:21] <[gTV]Red Crow > That's the world economy tanking for you.
[08:21] <[gTV]Red Crow > One of the reasons I love my job is I come across gems like this:
 [08:21] <FireFly_9 > ... LOL
[08:22] * FireFly_9 looks at her watch and almost cries. [08:22] <FireFly_9 > I have to get ready to go now.
[08:22] <FireFly_9 > I have to go put on my blasted red jumpsuit top that makes me look like a "redshirt" from Star Trek.
[08:23] <SpeedRcrX > LMAO well look at it this way
[08:23] <SpeedRcrX > their lifespans were never very long
[08:23] <FireFly_9 > :/
[08:23] <FireFly_9 > Wage Slavery then death. O, what a miserable existence doth man live in order to earn his daily bread.
