Tweak says, "Twat is in fact a vulgar word"

I managed to get a new job. They needed some help at Flourish & Blotts after.. well, what happened. I didn't want to seem like an opportunist, but it does help that I have a vast knowledge of the literary world. I start tomorrow, which is great. I'm hoping to be back on my feet, earning an income of sorts soon. I can't tell you how much weight has lifted off my shoulders from this prospect. I am not trying to sound as if I'm taking advantage of what happened; truly, I want to help out the store as it has always been a favorite of mine.

I suppose that's all I have to say right now.

	That's good. That you're helping them out and all. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Thank you. I owe it to the store after all the time I've spent reading in there ~~without buying anything~~. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	They're lucky to have someone who's willing to do so. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Merlin, why would you want to work there? The pay is horrible, the customers annoying, and - and I was hoping for a raise soon. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I suppose then one wonders why you work there if it's as awful as you say. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

There are two reasons. One (the altruistic and fluffy reason) is that it's because I love books and work is a constructive way to pass the time.

...But that's hardly the truth. I suppose the real reason I work there is because one can never have enough spending money and even though the pay is awful, I still love to gossip about the idiots who swagger through that place's doors. It's great fun.

	The pay is awful? I thought it was quite generous. I wonder if we'll be working together much..? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mytower 2008-07-13 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	Generous? Please. It's disgustingly low, which is horrible because our shifts are long and we're treated like peasants. And yes, we probably will be working together. Don't cause me trouble. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lupus_latens 2008-07-13 07:18 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose 'generous' is relative. And I wouldn't dream of causing you trouble. I doubt you'll even know I'm there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't give me that. I notice when the books have the slightest dents in their spines. ~~With my dedication, I should be paid more.~~ So I think I'd notice a new co-worker. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lupus_latens 2008-07-13 08:12 pm UTC (link)
	Well, seeing as I have no intention of denting any spines, I might go unnoticed. But if for some reason you do notice me, it won't be because I'm causing trouble. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mytower 2008-07-13 08:25 pm UTC (link)
	Really. Well, we'll see. Every single co-worker I've had has caused trouble. Or they flat-out irritated me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lupus_latens 2008-07-13 08:27 pm UTC (link)
	Every single one? Did you perhaps stop to consider that the one consistent factor in each of those troubling encounters is you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Excuse me? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Just an observation. Something to think about while you go about your dull responsibilities at work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't talk down to me, you snotty twit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lupus_latens 2008-07-14 06:43 pm UTC (link)
	Snotty? My goodness. I've been called plenty of things during the course of my short life, but 'snotty' is certainly a new one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	mytower 2008-07-14 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	What can I say. I'm a unique and creative snowflake. But whatever. This conversation poisons my brain cells. Don't you dare be late tomorrow. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	That's brilliant, Moony! Congrats! I do believe this calls for just about as much chocolate as you want. You name it, you've got it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	lupus_latens 2008-07-14 06:44 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you, Pads. Now that's just too tempting. You know the way right to my heart. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	siriusly_gryffy 2008-07-14 09:08 pm UTC (link)
	Of course I know the way to your heart! I wouldn't be me if I didn't. Tell me now, what do you want? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lupus_latens 2008-07-15 05:27 am UTC (link)
	You're certainly right about that. What do I want? That's a dangerous question. Though I hardly think it's necessary for you to deplete any of your funds towards my chocolate addiction, if you find yourself anywhere near any dark chocolate truffles... I might want one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	siriusly_gryffy 2008-07-15 08:02 pm UTC (link)
	One? Just one? That's a lie. You definitely want more than one. Dark chocolate truffles are no problem! Smell that, Remus? It's the smell of chocolate. And it's coming from the kitchen. And no I didn't make them. I bought them. I thought you might actually want to be able to consume them and you'd probably get mad at me if I ruined perfectly good chocolate. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Remus, that's wonderful news and just the perfect position for you! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	lupus_latens 2008-07-14 06:46 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you very much, Lily. I'm looking quite forward to starting. I do hope you'll come by to visit sometimes. I can show you loads of good reads. (Reply to this) (Parent)
