It's Like Hostage Negotiation

[netgirl_y2k]

Earlier this year my family and I agreed to split my grandmother's care more fairly so that I could 1) stop gently rattling with stress, and 2) start looking for work again. So a couple of phone calls to remind temp agencies that I exist, and some less than dignified grovelling later and I've got an admin monkey job for the month. At which point my family collectively goes: When we said we'd help you if you asked, it was on the assumption that you wouldn't ask.

*sigh*

All I want is to sit quietly on my own and type things for monetary remuneration, on the scale of people wanting totally unrealistic things it's not exactly up there with world domination is it?

Although, I do quite fancy world domination.

Now see, world domination I have skills to help you with. Family on the other hand... best I can offer is a hug...

Excellent. When I finally snap and declare myself Empress of Everything Ever I may recruit your skills. You would of course be free to choose your own comic-villain esque title.

Excellent, I've already got a roller derby name so that will do in case of short notice world domination (and its not like my current job doesn't require me to make up my own/other people's job titles for it).

I for one welcome you as our new overlord.
