I should definitely find a job. But I'm definitely not going back into retail.

The murderous tendencies are hard enough to keep under control on a daily basis, never mind throwing in incentives to let them loose.

It doesn't leave a lot of options on the table though. Which just results in yet more boredom.

	Where have you looked? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2019-10-27 01:26 pm UTC (link)
	Online mostly. It's the easiest for me at the moment. Unfortunately a lot of the available positions are seasonal at the moment. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	beyondthewalls 2019-10-27 09:52 pm UTC (link)
	That's true. I'm trying to think of if I've heard of any jobs that aren't in retail or seasonal because that would only keep you busy a couple months before you were right back here. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2019-10-28 11:53 am UTC (link)
	Aside from the fact that I loathe the seasonal work too. There's far too much to get annoyed about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I could ask my boss if he's still looking for someone to help out in the office? No actual dealing with customers just making sure orders go through and bills get paid. His daughter was doing it but...he was looking for someone to replace her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	What is it your boss does? What is the purpose of the company? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The family has a lot of small local businesses. I work for them at their bookstore. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Well, what would you like to do? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2019-10-27 01:27 pm UTC (link)
	Anything that limits my interactions with ~~humans~~ other people, honestly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xena_scrolls 2019-10-28 03:54 am UTC (link)
	That does make it more of a challenge. Maybe you could do data entry or something like that? More paperwork, than people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2019-10-28 11:55 am UTC (link)
	That would be a suitable area of work. I do not mind monotonous tasks either. Sadly, a lot of available placements are currently seasonal. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	xena_scrolls 2019-10-29 04:51 pm UTC (link)
	The holiday rush. But maybe you'll get lucky. At least it should help if you have a direction to look. And surely someone out there needs help keeping their paperwork in order. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2019-10-31 01:08 pm UTC (link)
	I find that I am rarely lucky. Someone should. Whether they are a tolerable person is a different matter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Sometimes we all feel like that, but sometimes people surprise you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Sometimes, those people deserve it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2019-10-31 01:09 pm UTC (link)
	Indeed. However I do not believe the prosecution would allow that excuse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	darth_imperius 2019-10-31 02:46 pm UTC (link)
	Pity, that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The preservation of law and order is important in many ways to society. If you wish to get away with murder, you must work hard for it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	darth_imperius 2019-10-31 07:18 pm UTC (link)
	That. Or simply be a white Republican. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2019-10-31 07:28 pm UTC (link)
	An impossibility for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	darth_imperius 2019-10-31 07:30 pm UTC (link)
	Some things are not worth it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2019-10-31 07:44 pm UTC (link)
	This is true. Being a Republican seems like a last option when posed with the apocalypse. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'd rather eat glass. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2019-10-31 08:51 pm UTC (link)
	That's not as hard as it sounds. I knew a tribal man who did that to impress tourists. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	darth_imperius 2019-10-31 08:52 pm UTC (link)
	I am sure he trained himself to do so, at least. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2019-10-31 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	Undoubtedly. Tribes don't exactly have the internet to amuse themselves. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	What kind of work are you looking for? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2019-10-31 01:09 pm UTC (link)
	Average stuff. The less interaction with people the better. Nothing festive. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ronmars 2019-10-31 02:49 pm UTC (link)
	So I’m guessing you wouldn’t be up for a receptionist job. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2019-10-31 07:02 pm UTC (link)
	If there is more filing or clerical work than interaction with people, potentially. If the people aren't utterly terrible and asking me why we don't stock items made by another company, the potential goes up. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ronmars 2019-10-31 08:30 pm UTC (link)
	There is that. Also answering phones and managing my schedule. Greeting clients and sending them into my office or having them wait if I'm already in a meeting. I'm a private detective. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2019-10-31 08:52 pm UTC (link)
	That does not sound horrible. You're not the kind of detective that has 40 clients a day, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ronmars 2019-10-31 09:16 pm UTC (link)
	No. I don't take on more than five at a time. Quality service is important. Come by Mars Investigations tomorrow. We can discuss this further and in person. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2019-10-31 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	That seems like a sensible choice. I shall do that. Do you require that I bring something? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ronmars 2019-10-31 10:12 pm UTC (link)
	If you have a resume bring it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2019-10-31 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	I will do that. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ronmars 2019-10-31 11:50 pm UTC (link)
	See you tomorrow. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	If you're trying to avoid murder, I'd definitely avoid working with the public. What kind of work did you want to do? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	cybertronics 2019-10-31 01:17 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, I believe the public in general, retail in particular needs to be avoided. I don't really have anything particular in mind. Aside from what I don't want. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ownsavior 2019-11-02 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	Retail, and anything that involves dealing with drunks. That makes things a little trickier. What kind of things do you like doing? In your off-time, I mean. (Reply to this) (Parent)
