you'd figure with the staggering amount of boredom and free time, he would be more interested. | |
That's my summer right there. | |
From what I can tell from this comic, that game store is HUUUUUUUGE | |
The life he lives is so easy but really not satisfactory. Still, games + making money by interacting with games. Sounds like an utopia. | |
If only i could get my current wage for doing almost nothing.... | |
I have worked in a Video Game shop and it is not a breeze. When you're unpacking a processing an average of 70 delivery boxes a day, each containing approximately 200 unsorted games, whilst dealing still with the perpetual influx of hardware... Well, it wasn't as easy as this strip makes out. You know what I did when I had a break? I went on the shop floor to deal with customers and sort shelves. And when the break was over it was straight back to delivery processing. And this was on a basic 4 hour contract, so I didn't get paid for 90% of my working hours until a month after the due date. | |
Hehe. Exact reason I worked in the same store for several summers during college. Sounds like a dream until you do it for a while... then the boredom just sucks the life out of you. | |
Ah laziness repression... always comes back to hit you. | |
That sounds depressingly familiar... | |
wait, isn't SHE the new one? How does she know about that but he doesn't? IM CONFUSED! | |
Nope, Lando's the new one. Treat yourself and have a read through the old issues. | |
Clearly you two worked in very different stores. | |
I really thought that she was the new one, odd... | |
Well the story wasn't long nor strange... | |
Apparently you missed the 'part 1' bit. | |
If I don't get a job that's my fate too ... | |
Gawd, this iz so not funnay. I didn't belly-laff or nothing. What kinda gagaday strip is this? *rambles off into the darkness, even though it's 2pm* | |
He reminds me of...me. | |
THANK GOD I GOT INTO COLLEGE RIGHT OUT OF HIGHSCHOOL... Sorry I had to say that, but mainly because I can honestly say that I might have done either the same thing or something similar. I kinda need the stress and deadlines to keep me working properly. XP | |
Is it just me, or does Luke look a bit like James from Extra Credits? | |
No it's not you. It's the goatee. | |
I can sense the Force is Strong within that One :| | |
