Also, Beren went through, I think, fifteen jobs in his first 10 years post high school, most of them drudge work.
shadylady 4:12pm
Yep. This is the first job he'll get fired from. Heh. OH yes, that paycheck. I think that'll make a big difference, even minus taxes.
catnik 4:12pm
I didn't work in HS and didn't drive until 21
shadylady 4:12pm
We all get there, eventually.
robinrahne 4:13pm
When he decided to go into the military, I was really worried, but it genuinely turned out to be the right step for him.
shadylady 4:13pm
It often can be but I have counseled Thing1 against it. For now. For... you know. 5-6 years.
shadylady 4:13pm
At least.
robinrahne 4:14pm
Yeah. Exactly.
shadylady 4:14pm
And I told the Marines that, too.
rae 4:15pm
I sometimes wish I had kept with my military aspirations
rae 4:16pm
But I was young and dumb and just... dropped off. Even after taking the ASVAB and getting a 98, and an offer into the nuclear program
rae 4:16pm
🤷
shadylady 4:16pm
It's good for many people, but not all.
rae 4:16pm
I didn't have any parental support at that time so with no one encouraging me, well...I just didn't aspire towards anything

I like to think that the Wendy's manager looked at the resume we worked on and thought "Oh hell yes, he's just getting started but he's got potential!"
rae 4:17pm
Wendy's / fast food is legit work
rae 4:18pm
I think everyone should work in a restaurant / as a server / in some sort of direct customer basing job at least once in their life, it builds empathy
catnik 4:18pm
I've never been a server
catnik 4:18pm
did a lot of retail though
rae 4:18pm
same thing!
rae 4:18pm

catnik 4:19pm

rae 4:19pm
😭
catnik 4:19pm

rae 4:19pm

rae 4:19pm

catnik 4:20pm

rae 4:20pm

rae 4:20pm

rae 4:20pm
(Devil's advocate in favor of peesa)
catnik 4:21pm
siiigh
robinrahne 4:21pm
Okay, I gotta sign off a little sooner than I thought. Might see you all later!
catnik 4:21pm

Okay, Shucked was HILARIOUS and is probably now the DeBuke family's second favorite musical
catnik 5:09pm
ha!
earldebuke 5:10pm
There's one song that was almost Clem's Origin Story
catnik 5:14pm
oh?
earldebuke 5:16pm
Let me find it
earldebuke 5:16pm
earldebuke 5:30pm
But mostly it's pure comedy and hilarious.
catnik 5:30pm
sorry - had been cooking, listening now
catnik 5:30pm
this is also already very Clem
earldebuke 5:35pm
It certainly captures her frustration with the elders before she got the big hat
catnik 5:35pm
yup!
earldebuke 5:42pm
Some of the one liners and word play are golden
earldebuke 5:45pm
"family is telling someone to go to hell and then hoping that they get there safely."
catnik 5:46pm
ha!
