Do you think that it's possible for people to be inherently bad? Not all the way, necessarily, but like maybe there's a bigger chance of messing up if you come from something bad, or like you've got some kind of latent seed planted deep that could burst someday.

I don't think that's true, if you look at it objectively. It still makes me really nervous sometimes, though, so I wonder if some part of me thinks it's a real possibility. I can't shake it off, so I get frustrated with myself sometimes.

I'm sure other people must feel like that. I'm sorry if you do.

sure anytime. if you ever need to talk, I'm there.

[fridgeflower]

Cool. That's nice.

We haven't met, right? I'm Laurie.

[bestversion]

Kamala. I'm a counselor. ish.

[fridgeflower]

That's cool. I sell perfume. Not nearly as helpful to the betterment of the general populous.

Well. I guess it depends on how high you rank people smelling nice.

[bestversion]

lbr that's pretty important.

[fridgeflower]

I think washing takes care of most smell-related issues, really. The perfume is optional.

Not a bad job, though.

[bestversion]

I bet it pays better than mine.

[fridgeflower]

Really? I don't make that much above the minimum.

If your job's worse than that, maybe you should consider switching to retail.

[bestversion]

no way, I'd never be able to handle it. I've heard the horror stories.

[fridgeflower]

My store's not so bad. It's really small and people usually don't fuss much.

Maybe you could just find a smaller specialty store. That might be the key to a life of retail decency.

[bestversion]

wooow you have your own store? you're like a teenage entrepreneur!

but I'm pretty happy with my job. I mean, it's the kind of job I would like to have anyway.

[fridgeflower]

Oh, no. I just mean the store that I work at. I'm not that cool.

I think liking a job is probably more important than the pay, barring one going hungry.

[bestversion]

yeah I think so too. I rather do a job I like than one I hate.
