I was more thinking they win on the awful front because their awful games probably end in mangling or death, but yes, I get what you're saying. Their phrasing might be convoluted, but it's never exactly subtle.

And at least you always know what you're going to get. There's nothing worth than inconsistency rearing its head by way of awfulness.

That's incredibly true. Pretty sure space abduction is a prime example, definitely see that one coming. Hell, it's happened to me 3 times and I still find it jarringly inconsistent.

Were you abducted right back here each time? Or were those other two... a different space. Universe. Whatever. Because this is only my second time back, and I don't know if i'd say it was inconsistent. Just that it didn't really suck any less.

Not exactly, but I guess you're right about it sucking consistently. The last time I was home for over a year, was kind of adjustment being back here again. I would say we should start a club for suckers who get dragged back here more than once, but I'm guessing it would be a very depressing club.

But that's what they invented the idea of free coffee for.

[growling]

Have you actually had the coffee here.

text.

[intersection]

I work in retail. Sort of. The idea of coffee that actually tastes like something that hasn't been ringed out of a mop is a tiny bit foreign to me.

But no. I have somehow managed to avoid the space coffee.

[growling]

Oh. Then yeah, it's probably close to what you're used to.

But why "sort of"?

text.

[intersection]

Sort of because I have the occasional side job. That makes working retail just that much more painful.

text.

[growling]

Fair enough. I guess most people only "sort of" work retail these days. So what, freelancing?

text.

[intersection]

If working for the government counts as freelancing?

text.

[growling]

I guess that depends. Is it on a contract? And should I assume you mean a desk job, or is it safe to say the ship's penchant for abducting people with notably alternative lifestyles holds in your case.
