Get a Job, GWC

Currently I work for Skynet. What jobs i also have. I am a Jedi Master, a Cylon and a Zombie. :slight_smile: currently i working for the man at night stocking a store

Good News-
I found work at an unlikely source, I saw the job posting on Craigslist and thought, “What the Hell, I might as well apply…” A couple of weeks latter I went in and interviewed and nailed the job good.

Bad News-
I have to lie to my relatives about where I work, OK maybe not lie… But shall we say; leave things out. I tell them it is a nightclub, which is essentially true. And that there are entertainers there, which is true… I just don’t tell them that these entertainers dance and take their clothes off. :o

That’s right, I am working at a Gentleman’s Club. You may Sean Scream now, I will not be offended. I am the new Chef there. It is a very high-end place, with amazing architecture and decorations. Though I doubt the customers pay much attention to such things…

This is really going to help my writing too, since my character Suzi in a number of short stories is supposed to be hiding out on a very nefarious colony/trade hub along the outer rim. And takes up a job as musician in a ‘fetish club’ in the seedy ‘club district’. This experience will make my description of such a club and the clientèle which come with it all the more real.

Very different from the usual places I have Chef-ed at but whatever, it is a job… And I will make the best of it.

good to hear you found employment Orma. I keep getting rejected. Maybe something will happen soon.

Good work Omra! If a little distracting no?

WooHoo!!

Glad to hear you’ve got employment. It’s no fun being out of work. Also glad to hear this opportunity will lend a helping hand to your writing. Enjoy the scenery. Did you have to go to sensitivity training?

Who care’s if the job is Chef at a tittie bar. :smiley: It’s a frakkin job! WOOT! As good as it feels just getting hired, it’ll feel twice as good when you get that first check!

Sorry to hear that you are still out of work EagleCat. Hang in there, something will come up for you too!

Congratulations, Omra. You are in the great company of a number of artists who have earned their keep in houses of ill repute, as it were. Try to not get too distracted. :smiley:

Dude, I say this from experience. Whatever you do, don’t go out with ANY of them. I don’t care if they throw the green Orion slave girl charm on you, or dress up like a femtrooper. It will end badly.

In there lies an interesting story… waits patiently

It may end badly, but should be sort of fun?

Better to have loved and lost, and all that. d:

Sooo many stories. Some will send you straight to your bunk, others will make you say WTF?!?

The girls pretty much get a long like this: On Monday, girl A and girl B are pals and they don’t like girl C. Tuesday, girls A and C are pals, and they hate girl B. Wednesday, they think a good way to piss off girl B is to try to hook up with her boyfriend. That only works if they tell her about it, and the really crappy part is that the boyfriend doesn’t have to be guilty to be implicated. It takes a few days of sleeping on the couch for girl A to let it slip to girl D who doesn’t like girl C so she tells girl B that her boyfriend took the moral high road but girls A and C lied.
After the truth comes out girl B feels really bad about not trusting her boyfriend, so she invites girl D over to help make it up to him. IYKWIM
2 weeks later, girl B and girl D hate each other, and girls A and C (who are BFFs with girl B now) subtly drop the implication that maybe girl B’s boyfriend gave girl D a little too much attention during the makeup encounter. It doesn’t help that girl B is bi-polar and (unbeknown to everyone) pregnant.

That was a long time ago, and girl B is now my ex-wife and our son is 15. He’s a good kid, and I’ve made sure that he knows Han shot first.

Since the start of GWC i have been:
A porter at the most (in)famous used car dealership in the world.
urban mercenary (armed security) for an armored car company
First line maintenance tech contracted to the above company
Assembly supervisor for an electronic cigarette distributor.
and am currently a full time student working towards a BS in civil engineering, which will be followed by a double major in structural and architectural and HOPEFULLY a PhD in Structural. I want to build psychotic skyscrapers and disturbing Malibu homes for the filthy rich.

Also I want my sister who has 2 Masters to have to address me as “Doctor” muhahahaha

Well done sir… really on all accounts. The first 2 things i ever taught my son (he just turned 7) are that you ALWAYS get mommy a birthday and mothers day present, and that Han shot first.

That was a wild ride. Thanks for sharing.

You’re right of course, I had not thought of that. http://www.newmediastudies.com/art/bordello.htm I can’t remember his name… The short little french artist who hung out in the red light district, I thought of him as soon as I read your post. Anyways,Thank You.

I hope some of my luck rubs off on you, hang in there.

It is indeed, though I suppose I will become desensitized in time.

No but I did have to sign a whole lot of paperwork regarding interaction with the staff (IYKWIM)… :rolleyes:

Indeed, and oh the stories I will be able to tell down the road…

The most I will probably have to worry about is them trying to charm free food out of me, but who knows? Only tiime will tell… I will try my best to avoid any complications.

Desensitised to boobies? Is that possible?

No.

Next question.

Whoa! :eek:

Toulouse Latreck (spelling?). Ah yes! (I think Van Gogh did some hanging around the seedier parts of Paris too.) Then there’s Johannes Brahms who, long before writing epic symphonies and famous lullabies was a piano player at a Hamburg brothel (something he shares with The Beatles, interestingly enough). :rolleyes:

I’m sorry, my mind wandered at the mention of “boobies.” What was the question?
