Sorry to hold this up further, looks like the photo they uploaded to your profile here had some kinda lens flare?... Sorry, would you mind holding still for a minute, I can snap a new one in no time.

Mostly presentable, but wearing a ridiculous green vest patterned with flowers and cacti.

s5.postimg.org/gw7b7fe2v/DQ0003.png ? ? ? : Alrighty, let's just pull this up and that's not you at all.Francine: Hm?? ? ? : Nothing, just forgot to clear out Louis from Accounting's last updated photo for his review.Francine: Ah.
Francine: So, Mr. Burgdal, the review?... Mr. Burgdal: Yes of course, let me just... ah here we go. Cleared out now. So, putting it plainly, you're doing fine. No complaints, no issues... just... doing your job.Francine: Great!Mr. Burgdal: ...kind of.Francine: Oh.Mr. Burgdal: Say cheese. Francine: Cheeeeese. (God this is embarrassing...)Mr. Burgdal: See, upper management is actually really happy with our department. Someone is, basically, getting promoted even if it's the least qualified person we have.Fracine: ...that's not me is it?Mr. Burgdal: Quite the contrary! They specifically asked for YOU, but every time I've offered, you've said no or expressed no interest in a promotion. Fracine: I like where I'm at???Mr. Burgdal: Francine, you've been with us nearly 5 years now. At least 3 other people have already advanced in less time. There's no policy AGAINST staying where you are just...Francine: Just what?Mr. Burgdal: I KNOW you're more than capable for the position. All they're waiting for is my recommendation and you've basically got it.Francine: That's great I just... don't... want it...? Francine: Look, uh, I'm sorry this is going on the record but... honestly? It's an easy gig. I've got it down pat. I'm not really... after any big changes right now?Mr. Burgdal: That's exactly my point, you're damn near perfect at your job, it's not a challenge anymore, I feel like you're wasting your potential.Francine: That's my choice right?Mr. Burgdal: ...*sigh* I suppose you're right, I apologize. Just... keep doing what you're doing. That is all.Francine: Great. ? ? ? : Oooh, sorry Francis guess you missed the promotion again.Francine: Ow, my dignity, you have truly slain it with your cunning again, Jeanne.Jeanne: Oh you're no fun at all, ha ha. But still, I should say thank you in earnest, if you don't want the position it's pretty much mine.Francine: Well I hope you enjoy it and the extra grey hairs, you should be able to afford a drum of that cheap ballpoint pen gel you call hair dye.
 That's how it goes around here. People fishing for drama in the drab environment of the office. You don't care though. You just want to do your job and go home. Who has time for these kind of head games? Still, again with the ranting about a lack of ambition. Your parents, your teachers in grade school through college, and now management. Is it so wrong to just... be? That's pretty zen right? It's about close to closing time, still need to check the system before punching out, maybe grab a bite to eat... still... what to do next? >_____

Return to your CUBE. Chat with the coworkers that you actually respect.

Go talk to Louis from accounting, he probably knows some secret to getting the best food in the area.  You WISH it was free office coffee. They scrapped the brew station after someone kept putting printer toner in it trying to be 'funny'. ? ? ? : Do I hear someone lamenting capitalism over there?
Francine: Hey Lou. Just gettin' some coffee.
Louis: Heh. How'd it go?
Francine: Pretty good actually, though it'd be better if the wicked bitch of the west wasn't spying on us.
Louis: Ignore her, she'll be out of here by year's end.
Francine: Hey, mind if I ask you somethin?
Louis: Shoot.
Francine: Do you think it's weird to turn down a promotion?
Louis: Hm... depends on the context. If you know the job isn't for you, if you like what you do, if you hate your boss... all kinds of reasons not to.
Francine: What if it's just... you don't want to?
Louis: Then that's your answer. Nothin' wrong with likin' one's station in life.
Francine: Do you like yours?
Louis: Hmmm... let's just say... I'm aware of what got me to where I am, and I've accepted the responsibility for it.
Francine: So, yes?
Louis: Yeah, that's fair to say. I mean if things had worked out differently, I might be doing something else, maybe something worse? Who can say.
Francine: Is it wrong I just want to watch Netflix and eat chips?
Louis: I don't think there's a right or wrong answer to what someone does with their time on this earth. Maybe it could be better spent, but that's like, one of those things only you can be the judge of. Ya know?
Louis: Hope that helps.
Francine: It does. Thanks man.
Louis: Oh yeah, I sent you an email for when you get home. An old demo from my band days, my nephew managed to upload some of our old demo tapes to mp3 finally.
Francine: Beware the Horseman?
Louis: That's the one! Listen already?
Francine: I got the email during lunch.
Louis: Nice.

>Get back to your relaxed, easy, humdrum job.  It's pretty much entry level help desk work. You get most of your social needs met with dealing with people in-house for tech support, system upgrades, things of that nature. You know the system better than some of the sys-admins at this point, partly why they want you to step up a bit.  It'd be the perfect crime. You know how to spoof an address, you know all the critical withdrawal times. Those pitiful fools down in payroll would be spending thousands of dollars on Eustace Laxelleforde Brown and no one would realize that's a totally made up name you came up with just now, because of how original you are. Yesss....
Then again, prison sucks, or so those shows on Netflix suggest. You don't think you're cut out for all those camera crews and edge of seat drama.  A few minutes later you wrap up your last remaining tasks for the day. A virus update for 2nd floor, a repair order for the server room. Then to the stairs- Is that Jeanne? |

For the last time, I'm not playing politics, I just don't want the extra hours. I don't have to explain myself to you as to why.Jeanne: Maybe you should, just this once? Francine: Why? Anything I say you'll take out of context, blame me for being a manipulative bitch, again, and start spreading rumors again. Hell, the fact we're talking now just means you're going to do that on Monday already!Jeanne: So that's it, you're keeping me back here in this shit position as revenge? Francine: Jeanne. I. COULD NOT. CARE. LESS. WHO GETS THE PROMOTION. I hope you get it, hell I hope you become CEO one day, just leave me the fuck alone would you?Jeanne: If become CEO your position is the first one I'm eliminating.Francine: Great! It'll be the day we all get that change we all seem to want for me or something stupid like that.  Jeanne: I don't buy it. No matter what you-hey! Where are you going?!Francine: I'm leaving. Go fuck yourself. After that, go fuck yourself, and, oh yeah! Go fuck yourself. G'night.Jeanne: . . .It's not the best way to end an argument, especially in the office, but she once kept you here for an hour and a half rattling off all the accusations she could think of why everything that happens to her in this place is your fault and yours alone. Sometimes, just sometimes, you wish it was, just so she would shut up for five minutes. |

Ok, so you've gone through your job which you coast through, not really enjoying it or hating it, just it *is*, you know.
But you're off the clock now. Go do something fun. Call up your friends, or snuggle with your cats. Break out a book or movie or videogame.

>Head to the burger ranch already.  You take the express way back to your apartment, swing by the local Burger Ranch and get... let's try a Number 5 today? You enter your abode and-oh. You had the Number 5 yesterday. And the day before. Well that's fine.  Quincy greets you, she's always glad to see you. You think of something to put your mind at ease. There's always Ninja Titanic 2: Ice Harder-no watched that last weekend. Maybe level up a Wizard in World of Fightcraft? Wait, you already have a max level one... two actually, one for each elemental style... geeze. You could call up one of your friends but you just hung out last week-what, no, three weeks ago.  Things really have gotten a bit routine lately haven't they? Lately. No, it's been routine for longer than that... God, how long has it been? You don't even know. Trying to keep yourself preoccupied takes up most of your time. The quiet times are the worst. The silence gets to you sometimes. It's why you like your job. You're always busy with something. They call it grunt work, but it keeps your mind focused on something and-there it goes. You're feeling a bit antsy now.  You decide to give Louis' song a listen. Maybe that'll help clear your head a bit. You take out your myPhone 7 and queue up the mp3 file. Francine: "Beware the Horseman", huh? Song: ♪The ocean of ages, crashing on shore, I don't know where I'm going, not anymore-♫
Song: ♪Open gate, step through the door. Let what is known go, in madness explore. ♫
