Long weekend. No grading papers! .. Maybe.

Slack off! Have some fun.

I did! .. Well, I had some fun, at least. But I ended up grading anyway.

He laughs a bit.

Aw! But I'm glad you had some fun, even if grading got mixed up in there.

I can always find time to relax and have a little bit of fun. Or I'll try to entertain myself while I'm grading.

What about you? How was your weekend?

Oh really! How's that?

Um...crazy. I got maimed on the shoulder, and I helped my boss dye his hair pink. So pretty much the norm, actually.

I don't think you really want to know.

He blinks.

Well. I don't know if I'd call any of that the norm, but if it is for you, then -- God help you. That's quite the weekend.

Is your shoulder alright?

I always do! But I will refrain from being nosy just this once.

I live a thrilling and weird life. Yup, all better! My boss is always dyeing his hair, though...at least he's not trying to go by "Thor" anymore, that was kind of bizarre.

I think you're better off for it.

What, uh, what is it that you do?

I'm still curious. Also, my imagination is probably way worse than the truth.

I'm a stripper! Although my boss is seriously kind of unconventional regardless, our stage fee is really low. He's one of those guys who grew up around the Hell's Angels, you know, except he got all crunchy vegan later on in life...little bit of a weird combo.

Ah. A stripper. That must be -- interesting.

It is! No more or less than any other profession, though.

Different sorts of interesting, I'm sure.

OOC: ^^ no worries!

Well, yeah! I'd sure hope so. But hey, money is money, right?

Of course. Money makes the world go 'round, unfortunately. It used to be love, but .. I think it's been replaced.

So, what's the most interesting things you've ever encountered in your line of work?

Aw, I don't think love has been replaced! Just...temporarily overshadowed. But maybe I'm an idealist.

Oh, God, um...at one place I worked, the cops came to talk to a girl about her brother or something, so she locked herself in the bathroom for eight hours. That was fun. I work at a nicer club, now, though.

I'm a natural cynic. Negative by nature. You're not an idealist; you're just not a cynic.

He smiles.

That's a long time to just be sitting on the toilet. Or the sink. Or wherever. Small room for eight hours; good thing she was claustrophobic.

Do you? Where's that?

Maybe? You either have papers or you don't...

It was more my debating whether or not I wanted to grade the papers.

I voted on yes, sadly.

You can have some of mine....

Ah. Not necessary. I've got plenty; I've just decided not to grade them for the moment.

He perks his brow.

Do you teach?
