Has anyone ever quit their job?

[A: At work]
[For the past several days, he's been rather dutiful at the pharmacy.  Even though he didn't remember having worked here before, the other people there, particularly the drones, acted like he'd been there for years.  Needless to say, it wasn't exactly the job he'd choose for himself.  Still, it

No, I have not.

[vertulpen]

Would you want to?

[Not quite recognizing the voice yet. . .]

[onlybrother]

I am sure that would depend on the circumstance.

Do you have reason for asking?

[vertulpen]

I'd like to quit mine.

[Stopping for a moment on her way home to admire the tulips. She isn't really paying attention to the gardener--when you look like a drone, even vaguely, you're not worth paying attention to, in her opinion.]

why hello

[vertulpen]

[He's equally involved, on his hands and knees trying to dig out an ugly bit of shrubbery, when he takes a little break. With a quiet curse, he leans back while sitting on his heels to give a bit of a stretch, a hand on his lower back.

This human body thing kinda sucked. He wipes his forehead with the back of a garden-gloved hand.]

h-hello

[kleinefurstin]

[and that would be it for her, really, and she would be walking away

except for the fact that the dog that was walking beside her has abandoned her in order to try digging in the garden. such a helpful doggie!!]

[vertulpen]

[The dog gets his attention. No no no, don't you dare dig in that flowerbed it's already been filled with the good stuff, nice rich planting soil. And the dog is making a mess of the stone decorations too. Netherlands is standing up to shoo the dog away.]

Ah-ah-ah! Out, out!

[He's about to pick that dog right up.]

[He might notice The Captain is there. Only he doesn't seem to know what he is doing.

He puts random pills in bottles and hands them over the counter. He doesn't work the register well and rarely gets the right amount down.

It's a lot of frowning at labels and sometimes getting yelled at by drones.]

[vertulpen]

[He does notice, because once some of the drones are done yelling at The Captain, they yell at him. Although it doesn't come across in his personality Holland also pays attention to detail with neurotic sort of sixth sense, so he's pretty annoyed by now.]

You should just go sweep something.

[The fact that they were co-workers felt like a mean joke sometimes.]

It's always a toss up if he'll be stubborn or just apathetic to a command, it's fun

[heartstar_blues]

[Stares at the bottle he just filled. There are three different colored/sized pills in there!

Hands it over.]

Yeah, sure, whatever. I'll go sweep.

haha, someday we should test who is more stubborn.

[vertulpen]

[Completely unexpected, but that's okay.]

You do that.
