Cry on someone else's shoulder

Have you been hanging out with Steven again? He gives me those a lot.

Steven is a special sort of headache that doesn't fit into a category. What's happened to common sense, Kara?

I think it’s just good manners, really.

And here I thought only children had those anymore.

I think it’s better to have people take you at face value. You can stand people undermining you for so long. I work as a computer analyst, quickly rising through the ranks. I have my mind set on a managerial role. 

It's annoying, but it makes things simpler when people don't consider doing anything to get in your way. Ah, computers, you are someone scary. Are you going to manage the world, girl without a dragon tattoo?

I think you're telling me things I already know.

Oh, do you have a thing for nurses? So, secretary. I see how they get treated, it isn’t pretty, but what are you going to do when someone thinks you’re their slave? It should be in your job description, really. I think my father underestimates the power of a secretary. His could easily bring the company down. Not anymore of course, I’ve secured the network properly.

Not that I'm aware of, but I'd forgotten they counted. Find an advantage, of course. It's their own fault if they underestimate me and it works out in my favor. Your father's secretary sounds like a person to watch, or would be if not for you. And what are you that makes you so formidable?

Oh…Well, I promise I wasn’t going to ask.

Others do. Congratulations on your tact.

Emotional pain does hurt more because it affects the mind. I’ve seen people suffer from it. I’m sure you do a lovely job, though.

Mental scars are a touchier subject than the physical for some reason. And I do, that's why I have the job in the first place, thanks.

What’s your job?

I'm a secretary. No, I do not wear fishnets.

Secretary? Nurse? Maid?

Secretary, but points for having nurse as an option.

Do you kick them in the junk or what? I know if I was in your position, I’d kick their asses.

I do my job and collect blackmail. Emotional pain hurts more.

Are they really treating you like that? I’d file a lawsuit if I were you.

They learn better soon enough.

Good fuckin' grief... // Open

People go to stores to buy or steal things, not be confronted by a lost miner. Why would they expect it?

That little girl had a mean right hook.

Proud if they're next to you, terrified if they're across. Obviously.

Excuse me?

First come, first serve.
