Audacity's Refugee

academicchris:

esbatty replied to your post: I love Children’s Lit and YA fiction.

I get paid in Trident Layers. Yet somehow I can still afford the eggs I cover the HR director’s car and house in every 2 weeks.

This is why the barter system isn’t dead

I live so f*ckin’ far away from everybody I’ve ever known. *sigh*

And the suckiest part about being in Laredo for the past 9 years, everytime I’ve tried to make new friends I’ve been abandoned in strange parts of Webb County or my new “friend(s)” want me to help them do something incredibly, incredibly illegal.

Ooh, but one time I had a good experience playing system linked Halo 2… but then again they were my trainees and I’m the one who did the paperwork approvals for them to get out of work early to have the H2 LAN party. They weren’t so much my friends as the invitation was payment for letting them out early.

…

Also, as of the 16th I’ve been here at the TV station for 2 years. My boss didn’t even remember… and for that I’m gonna demand a raise.
