[voice] The Unemployment Line

So this whole economy thing. I've been here long enough to know that credit card fraud and hustling pool or darts isn't going to cut it. I've never charged anyone for hunting and I don't plan on doing it here.

I'm not really sure what else I'm good for? I used to barback in college and I've got a bachelor's in pre-law. I'm pretty good at research.



Anyone got a suggestion where to work?

Added a bit later at DG's suggestion

I can also pick locks, commit credit card successfully, perform a limited autopsy (don't ask), perform exorcisms and possibly do thinks like telekinsis and kill demons with my brain

Credit card fraud?

Re: [Voice]

You know how you get all those offers for credit cards in the mail? We use them. Except we get them in different names.

You know, you probably should have mentioned the bit about being a criminal mastermind.

Re: [Voice]

[identity profile] eaturbreakfast.livejournal.com 2010-04-19 11:45 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not--Okay so it's a crime but--we do it so that we can help people?

That sounds like a lame excuse. Even to me.

Wait? mention it? In my 'application' or to you?

How are you DG?

I don't think anyone's going to judge you here. [After all, the prisoners of Taxon have learned to take talking hamsters and vampires in their stride.]

Both?

I’m ok. I got glitched last week, but … I’m ok. I'm not looking forward to finding a job. I've only ever been a waitress, and I'm not going back to taking other people's orders, whatever world I'm in.

What about you? [Smashed any buildings up lately, Sam?]

Re: [Voice]

[identity profile] eaturbreakfast.livejournal.com 2010-04-20 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
I guess not.

In that case, I've edited my 'application' and DG...I'm a criminal mastermind? Only I wouldn't use the word mastermind.

[Yeah...about that...sorry?] I guess I'm okay. I'm coping. Sorry about...I guess I was pretty freaked out that day.

People always exaggerate on job applications.

Exorcisms? So you know about possession too, huh?

It's fine. And you don't need to apologise. I'm just glad you're feeling a bit better.

"Kind of a small place to get jobs in, isn't it?" Tara asks, sympathetically. She's looking a bit better than last time, at least, though her smile is still a quiet one.

"Yeah, it really is," Sam agrees. He's glad to see her looking a bit better. It's something that will take time though. "How are you?"

"I'm... I'm okay. It seems like a lot of people are scrambling to find something to do, now that they've decided to give us money."

"Yeah it's kind of odd. Throwing everyone for a loop I guess. Especially the people who have been here longer."

"Sure. And I think it's hard - Buffy had to get a job, not long ago, back home. She'd never charge for protecting people, and it takes up so much of her time..." She considers, for a moment. "Maybe you could train people in self defense. Lessons, that sort of thing."

"Hey, that's a good idea but I'm not sure how I feel about charging people for that in a town that they might really need self defense. It would be a good job to have though. I may see if anyone would be interested in paying me for something like that." He smiles at Tara. "Thanks. So what are you planning on doing for a 'job'?"

Credit card fraud? Now there's one I haven't tried before.

Re: [ voice ]

[identity profile] eaturbreakfast.livejournal.com 2010-04-20 12:34 am (UTC)(link)
It works pretty well if you're careful.

Not sure how practical it'd be for my world, though. America's kinda gone broke.

Re: [ voice ]

[identity profile] eaturbreakfast.livejournal.com 2010-04-20 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah probably not.

That's actually pretty scary.

[ voice ]

[identity profile] aregulargirl.livejournal.com 2010-04-20 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
It's not so bad, actually. Granted, it's been about ten years since it happened so I don't really remember when it was better, but things could be a lot worse.

[He's going to avoid asking the usual protests about being naked and no one would want, etc etc]

Have you seen me dance?

[voice]

[identity profile] rubinuslapis.livejournal.com 2010-04-20 03:00 am (UTC)(link)
God you are stupid. You don't have to dance, Sam. Just strip and shake it. Is that really so difficult?

Re: [voice]

[identity profile] eaturbreakfast.livejournal.com 2010-04-20 03:02 am (UTC)(link)

[This would be Sam's bitch face]

I am not going--

No one--

No.

[Careful, he'll have a bitch stroke]

It is not...it's not like...no one is going to give me money for being naked. Not that I'm going to make money by being naked.
