I have a Job!

At a book shop.

An Independent second hand (and also new) book shop.

It pretends to be a second hand book shop, but there is a stairwell to a basement filled with Sci-Fi and Fantasy books, Comics, Action Figures, Dolls, Zines, Magazines, Shirts and Props.

How cool is that?!?!

So yeah, there's schlepping, and filing, and cleaning and all that other stuff that you have to do in order to work in a shop (I've been told by the Boss that I need to lose my conscience ASAP... Woe!).

Also, I'm working minimum wage. Which is okay (it's peanuts) but what do I have to complain about, I just need to keep my bank account from dropping too much before the bank starts telling me that that minus is their plus, forever.

Anywho... isn't that the coolest thing ever!?

Here's a Plug.

That sounds absolutely fantastic! But I am a little unnerved by the idea that you have to lose your conscience to work at a book store. What's that mean?

Umm... woops, that anonymous comment was me, by the way. Sorry!

No worries!

I also had to sign the employment form in blood, so the loss of my conscience shouldn't be too hard.

Sooo awesome :)

No conscience in a bookstore?? I would have thought that Independent bookstores are as conscientious as they come!

The Boss said I must become a seasoned sales person and ax my conscience... I told him I'd have difficulty doing that seeing as one of the things I'm often called in an exasperated tone is "Bleeding Heart".

He sighed and said that he'd deal with that soon enough.

Geeks with a macabre sense of humour... mwahahahaha!

Oooh I see. But when you're enthusiastic about something, it becomes easier to sell, at least :) I found that out working at a music store!

Working with morbid geeks is pretty much the best thing ever.

Woo sounds like a great job :). Though i echo the question in the comments above - why should a job in a book store mean you have to loose your conscience?

So that I can steal the souls of customers.

Mwahahahaha.
Ha.

Go you! That rocks. Do you get a discount?

Thanks!

I bloody well hope so... I would think it gets docked directly from my salary if not. Though I don't think the Boss is that Evil. I got the impression that enployess get to use the store as a library.

Yay for you! I promise that retail doesn't mean losing your conscience, though it may mean losing your mind.

I assumed everyone is retail was already crazy.

V and Justice

V: Ah, I was forgetting that we are not properly introduced. I do not have a name. You can call me V. Madam Justice...this is V. V... this is Madam Justice. hello, Madam Justice.

Justice: Good evening, V.

V: There. Now we know each other. Actually, I've been a fan of yours for quite some time. Oh, I know what you're thinking...

Justice: The poor boy has a crush on me...an adolescent fatuation.

V: I beg your pardon, Madam. It isn't like that at all. I've long admired you...albeit only from a distance. I used to stare at you from the streets below when I was a child. I'd say to my father, "Who is that lady?" And he'd say "That's Madam Justice." And I'd say "Isn't she pretty."

V: Please don't think it was merely physical. I know you're not that sort of girl. No, I loved you as a person. As an ideal.

Justice: What? V! For shame! You have betrayed me for some harlot, some vain and pouting hussy with painted lips and a knowing smile!

V: I, Madam? I beg to differ! It was your infidelity that drove me to her arms!

V: Ah-ha! That surprised you, didn't it? You thought I didn't know about your little fling. But I do. I know everything! Frankly, I wasn't surprised when I found out. You always did have an eye for a man in uniform.

Justice: Uniform? Why I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about. It was always you, V. You were the only one...

V: Liar! Slut! Whore! Deny that you let him have his way with you, him with his armbands and jackboots!

V: Well? Cat got your tongue? I though as much.

V: Very well. So you stand revealed at last. you are no longer my justice. You are his justice now. You have bedded another.

Justice: Sob! Choke! Wh-who is she, V? What is her name?

V: Her name is Anarchy. And she has taught me more as a mistress than you ever did! She has taught me that justice is meaningless without freedom. She is honest. She makes no promises and breaks none. Unlike you, Jezebel. I used to wonder why you could never look me in the eye. Now I know. So good bye, dear lady. I would be saddened by our parting even now, save that you are no longer the woman I once loved.

*KABOOM!*
