Getting a job

[xp_echo]

Any suggestions? I mean, I was looking at retail and then I realised that all I need was my anger management issues leading me to 'problems' with the local law enforcement.

I was thinking maybe something like clerical work? Or maybe janitorial? I don't know, something that pays me money and has flexible hours so I don't get behind on my school work and can still do cheerleading.

Any ideas?

Maybe once Angel's out of medlab you could talk to her about doing something on that newspaper she runs? It's about mutant rights, so you'd be interested, and I'm fairly sure it doesn't involve interacting with the public. ;)

Or you could be a dog walker! Lots of people need their dogs walked, and it would be something you could do in your own time and it'd be outside and have minimal people! Plus you love animals, don't you?

Not sure Cujo would like me smelling of dog but it's not a bad idea. I could always shower before I came home.

Or Cujo could get used to it (and dogs) since he lives in a mansion full of them. ;) Acclimatizing is good.

True. Pet sitting/walking could work.

Babysitting? If you like to swim/are good at it, consider getting your Lifeguard certification. Maybe see if a fast food place will let you work in the back so you're not having to directly deal with customers as often.

Jobs are pretty limited for teenagers, because there's a lot of rules and whatnot about when and how often you can work, particularly during the school year.

You can't see me but I'm making the ew face at the thought of babysitting.

Lifeguard might be okay. I've got my first aid certificate already.

[xp-darcy.livejournal.com]

Pet sitting might work too? Babysitting does tend to be either great or terrible.

How old are you again?

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

Fifteen, but I turn sixteen this year. Why?

[xp-angel.livejournal.com]

You have to be older to apply for a summer job with WI. I think. I can't remember if I fudged the rules for Miles. 16 sounds right though.

I don't even think I know who you are. You must not stand out.

What are your interests?

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

I think you're just to self involved, otherwise you would have heard people bitching about my aggressiveness.

Social Media, Social Justice. Dance. A bunch of other things but I doubt you've even read past 'social media'

[xp-angel.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I already forgot why I commented in the first place.

Have your people talk to my people.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

I'm my people. Who exactly are your people? You're not one of those people who walk away in the middle of conversations, are you?

[x-otoxic.livejournal.com]

You can't just replace me with a younger model!

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

This is Warren. Aren't you moving to another country?

[x-otoxic.livejournal.com]

Columbia University in Manhattan, not Colombia the South American country.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

Well that's better. I wondered why you hadn't come to apologize for moving to another country and leaving us all In this place.

[xp-angel.livejournal.com]

Why not? And what is she talking about, you moving? You're not allowed to move. My iPod needs updating...

[x-otoxic.livejournal.com]

I'm not moving anywhere. I'll still be here to help you with your way out-of-date technology. (People still use iPods?)

[xp-angel.livejournal.com]

What else would people use? Has some sort of direct-to-brain system been invented that I'm not aware of?

[x-otoxic.livejournal.com]

Their phones. idk anyone who has a dedicated music player in 2017.

[xp-angel.livejournal.com]

Tell me more. I use my phone for inappropriate pictures and text messages. That's it.

[x-otoxic.livejournal.com]

You're on the right track. Social media and music is the other 50%.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

How has he not had a dickpick scandal?

[xp-angel.livejournal.com]

I only hire the best to cover me.

[x-otoxic.livejournal.com]

Warren can't be scandalized, that's why.

[xp-echo.livejournal.com]

I'm beginning to realize this. What's he like to work for?

[xp-angel.livejournal.com]

Let's talk more about this. I hate under utilizing things.
