The glass guys know what they’re doing. The OGS windows need replacing pretty often, don’t they?

Paste overreaches. We know that. He’s not stupid, just enthusiastic to the point of taking everything a little far.
First he wants to ride a bike, then he wants to compete in a freestyle competition, but then he wants to zip-tie rockets to the bike and land a jump onto a stage where people can adore his abilities. A little far, you’ll agree.
First he wants to skate, then he wants to rule the skatepark, then he wants to build his own line of skate equipment that the people at the skatepark with beg for and fawn over while he skates away nonplussed. Also a little far.
Now, he wants to sell a skateboard, then he’s willing to break up the payments over time, then he’s ready to send thugs to do dirty deeds dirt cheap. Enthusiastic, you can see.
Who you’re taking advantage of and why depends entirely on who you think YOU are.
If you’re an employee, you’re taking advantage of your employers because “Fairness”- like, they take advantage of you, so they gotta expect the same in return, right?
If you’re an employer, you’re taking advantage of your employees ’cause that’s why you pay ’em! Like, you have money to spend and jobs that need doing, and they have skills to sell, right?
If you’re the child of an investor father, and you’re a little hungry, you take advantage of a frankly complicated mess of a business by having a restaurant paid for by the bunch of investors your father has lined up. Like, it might pay off and make you a financial genius whiz-kid, or at worst you get some free food when no one’s looking.
Paste is getting a taste of what fame is like.
Hey! maybe his Mom or Dad could be put in charge of a conservatorship and control his life until he can sue them and then he can be really and truly famous!
He be blowin’ up the Twitters, y’all! Boom!
First off- My apologies! I haven’t been updating regularly due to insane schedules and my internet was wiped out by another damned limb taking out my cable/internet for days on end.
You do NOT want to hear about the conversation I had when the text updates went from “Your technician is on his way” to “Your appointment has been rescheduled to Friday at 7 pm”. I DID, however, discover how to get a human being on the phone from a certain cable company, and I’m sure he’s very tired of having to act contrite and apologetic to every furious person who calls, but he did his job well…enough.
But on a more entertaining note. Look! Paste is pissed!
That’s gonna lead to a storyline if I have anything to say about it.
Gosh, Nikki! For being a cornerstone of the economy, the big corporate bosses are having a hard time knowing what to say to you.
How odd.
I had to think about it. It’s possible that we’ve broken those big windows, like, FOUR times now. I can’t recall exact details of each time, but four sounds right.
There was the fireworks test, the pogo sticking, and I think Paste went through on a bike once before. You can’t rely on my memory or Paste’s memory, though.
Anyone of you folks recall exactly?
It’s always nice when everyone’s on the same page, isn’t it?
Or at least reading the same book, which Paste ISN’T. He’s streaming a video of that scary empty-building-but-with-monsters thing while everyone else is reading the latest Management Paradigm Shifting Bestseller.
But as long as he doesn’t rush into anything… or as long as he doesn’t rush into anything without thinking up some really truly rash thing to add to whatever he’s rushing into… Oh, who am I kidding? Something’s gonna get broke. You wait.
You know how Paste comes up with all this clever stuff where he’s one step ahead of someone?
It’s because he doesn’t burn up time with other things. Reading. Personal Grooming. Laundry. Cleaning. Grocery shopping.
Of course, he cut out other stuff, too… Family time. TV time. Videogame time.
See what you can get done when it’s all entirely about YOU?
Genius.
The sun is up on a new day, and now it’s time that someone create order from the chaos that is the new iteration of the Outdoor Galore Store.
Shall it be the Alpha male businessman with the money behind him? The MBA with a knack for bumbling where he needs to bumble? The corporate shark with her steely gaze and determination to carve the world into a shape that suits her? The Alpha male upstart kid with a knack for understanding people and motivations without understanding that he has a knack?
It’ll probably be Nikki, who’s just looking for some job security, y’know?
