Eupheme and Open
Considering Futures
Thursday
Starbucks
TBD



Eternal optimist as she was, Eupheme also knew how to be realistic. When she'd brought forth the option of hiring a second counselor to the shelter, they'd said they couldn't. And Eupheme was often swamped, unwilling to allow the kids to suffer and often working many overtime hours just to see them smile for a moment, to the point where she got home to often just sleep. But she understood budgets, and she understood they simply didn't have more to offer to someone else.

And volunteers weren't always easy to find. Nor was she all too willing to leave her own paycheck behind. She had bills and liked to eat. It didn't mean she wouldn't look for options though. If she found a secondary job to counter her first, then she could tell her employers to use her paycheck to pay for another, so the kids had more then just her. They deserved that, and if she kept tiring herself out like this she'd be of even less use.

So she'd come to the coffeeshops to look at openings nearby and to indulge in the company of mortals and coffee. Her own home was quiet, and she preferred a busy environment She figured it came from growing up in a home where there'd always been something, whether it was her sisters laughing or the sounds of her father making something new. The memory of that made her smile.

It lasted even as she leaned over her computer to continue looking at the things she'd be qualified for. She knew her father would help her, but she was sure she could manage on her own.
