i don’t think i should do customer service anymore
god i HATE this personality rewriting shit I REALLY FUCKING HATE IT JFC IT’S RUINING MY LIFE

[Guess who echoed back an explosive temper that got him into a screaming match with a particularly rude customer. Turns out bosses don’t appreciate workers who call customers “you stupid fucking asshole” and throw their groceries on the floor.]

Fired? Seriously? Like you can't just explain?

[Unfortunately, Matt cannot help as he has only worked people jobs his whole life, and most of them are sensitive people jobs. Like kids.]

[abhero]

oh sure
sorry i threw this asshole's bags so hard the milk exploded i'm a magical superhero dealing w/ my past self issues pls don't fire me

[pheromonecoffee]

[Well shit.]

Maybe you can talk to somebody about seeing a therapist or something? It's hard managing secondary personalities. It might help?

[abhero]

dude no i'm not going crazy or anything
where would you even find therapists for that kinda crap

How the hell did getting an Echo get you fired?

[abhero]

other me may have had some anger management issues

[sunshinethatwarmsherup]

Wait, are you saying that your Echo actually changed your personality?

[ Because seriously no that wasn't supposed to happen. She had just told Cecil that it didn't seem like stuff like that happened. Clearly he must be exaggerating what happened or something. ]

[nowi_wins]

Wow.
I've been getting upset because all my echoes are really dumb.
But I guess it could be way worse.

[Useless might be better than problematic...]

[abhero]

thanks a lot that makes me feel so much better

[nowi_wins]

Sorry.
Have you at least gotten cool stuff too?
Powers or skills or anything?

Wow, somebody needs anger management.

I can ask if they need, like, cleaning staff at the community center, if you want? I usually work at the tennis camp, but I know they hire some people every summer.

[abhero]

blame other me
but yeah that could be good
as long as i don't have to serve ppl

[sucrosity]

Other you can't exactly get in trouble for it, can he?

It'd just be mopping and sweeping and whatever. As long as you can, like, resist the urge to get into fights with the janitor it probably won't be too bad.

Language!

[Text] i'm sorry he's terrible

[abhero]

[...yeah, no. That's so not what he needs right now.]

WTF
I JUST LOST MY JOB AND THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY??????
are you fucking kidding me

[Text] i'm sorry she's a moron

[originaloddcouple]

Well, that is generally terrible and I'd be happy to make cupcakes for you to make up for it.

But there's no need for vulgarity.

[gobybessie]

Echoed back attitude?

[text]

[abhero]

something like that
more like anger issues

Re: [text]

[gobybessie]

Ah. I can see why that could get you in trouble.

Sounds like you should probably have a job that doesn't mean constant contact with people.

Or anger management.

[dead_black_eyes]

Do you think you can be angry and funny and make coffee at the same time?

[Audio]

[abhero]

Would someone else give the customers the coffee and listen to their annoying, petty, fucking stupid complaints -

[Ahem.]

Point is, if I have to service people all the time one of them will probably get coffee thrown in their face. Unless you think it's funny and then sure, I'll throw hot drinks at asshole as much as you want.

[Audio]

[dead_black_eyes]

Rude baristas are kind of the gimmick. And for the record, I think it's hilarious.

[onecream_fivesugar]

Fired? Really? Wow, that sucks so much.

[abhero]

yeah this is the worst day ever
or one of the top 5 at least

[onecream_fivesugar]

Well... I hope you find another job soon.

Wanna grab ice cream or something? That always cheers me up. Or we can just hang out or something?
