Damn it. I was counting on Aziraphale taking the penthouse to keep me in the black this month. You'd think dark, gloomy days would be the reason to stock up on reading material, but no.

~~And Stephen's gone, too...~~

If anyone needs me, I'll be contemplating insurance fraud. (For legal purposes, that's a joke.)

	I'll come by. I need shit to read and it sounds like the perfect thing to do when you don't have a job and it's always fucking dark outside. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Ted was the fucking yankee doodle cowboy who came over and coached our football when he'd only coached American football before. And ended up doing a pretty good job. He's alright. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I wanted to and apparently did during one of those weekends none of us can remember. Aziraphale moved in briefly. Now he's gone. I may be displacing my anger with this town. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eponine and I can handle things pretty well. And I really can't afford anyone else right now. I know it's very attractive to admit I'm a bad business owner. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	katebishop 2023-11-13 04:49 am UTC (link)
	That's cool. I need to figure out a job. Maybe the comic shop is hiring. How does that make you a bad business owner though? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ooh, the competition! I guess it's better than working for the dread library... It's not exactly thriving. So I'm clearly doing something wrong. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	katebishop 2023-11-13 04:59 pm UTC (link)
	Is it REALLY competition? How many comic books to you keep in your store? And toys? Specific nerd toys, I mean. I think the first few years are always red. At least, that's what my dad used to say about other people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	remembered 2023-11-13 06:26 pm UTC (link)
	You're right. There's a distinct lack of toys. Maybe that's where I went wrong... I'm going to agree with your dad. If only because it makes me feel better. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	katebishop 2023-11-14 06:13 pm UTC (link)
	That'd make you a whole different store. There's very little he's wrong about when it comes to business. Just don't follow the rest of his business advice which is to tear down your competition with a sledgehammer and then become a supervillain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Good news, I don't even own a sledgehammer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Metaphoric sledgehammer in this game. He was a publishing (among other things) conglomerate, and he did not get there by being nice. I don't even have any accounting skills to help you either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	remembered 2023-11-15 09:20 am UTC (link)
	Don't have one of those, either. The best I can do is a literal chisel and a figurative tongue lashing. If you did, I'd urge you to put them to better use somewhere else. It's what friends are for. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	My skills are in weapons, mostly bows and arrows. And are we friends? Do I know you? OMG, tell me you're not Madam Masque. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You've listened to me complain about work and offered sage advice. If that's not friendship, I don't know what is. But who or what is Madam Masque? She sounds like a woman who knows her way around a little alliteration. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, it's nice to have friendship. Mob boss type. And my dad works for her, so you know, good times. Way more complicated than that, but I've gotten the jump on her more times than she'd like. (Reply to this) (Parent)
