Yep… praying to her dad? Is this another kid of Hubris’ father? ?????
Greg we have wilder imaginations than you just because we have more than one of us out here trying to outthink you (bravo you manage to plot twist us) So plot deepens and we have to WAIT until you get back to Lowell being badass for the first time in his existence….
That’s an awful lot of pressure on someone who simply volunteered for a job tuning bikes and skateboard decks. Nikki’s GOT to remember that Outdoor Galore isn’t the only game in town if she makes a mistake. There’s always Sportsmart.
Not the zaniness typical of the Hubrisphere, but no less unexpected — and in a way more startling because it’s more personal: the mortification of screwing up, and the resulting demoralization. You’ve let people down, and they’ve branded you as lazy, immature, or irresponsible — or all three. Even if you’re lucky enough to get another chance, they’ll be watching you like a hawk, just waiting to pounce on you for the smallest misstep. Bad enough knowing that they don’t trust you — but worse still when you don’t trust yourself.
Nikki stated that she had “just worked for my dad, some.” Sounds as if that ‘some’ may have been cut short by a debacle that is now haunting her. Whatever it is, I suspect that it may not come out right away; as with several of the other characters, various facets of their personalities and lives have been revealed not all at once, but gradually over time, and it will probably be the same with Nikki as well.
This much is clear: her job is not ‘simple,’ even if it appears that way. But too often people assume that because something is easy for THEM, it is or should be easy for everyone. They can’t conceive that it could be hard for someone else, because they can’t see the struggles or impairments that that person is laboring under. What for you is a small rock that you can easily kick out of the way may be a huge boulder for me. Yes, I could move that boulder — IF I have the means. But if I don’t, the task will be impossible to accomplish, and if help never comes, I will probably give up.

She’ll do fine. She’s got the twerp mopping the floor. That’s something we haven’t seen before.
Yep!!!!! Paste actually working!
That’s a lot of angst for something as simple as her present job. Expect some history to be revealed in the future.
YOU. ARE. MEAN… Keep it up..
Wow. Sudden depth from the new character. I like it.

No matter how cool someone may seem; we all have insecurities.
