I really ought to buy tickets today. Actually, I should have bought them a month ago. I'm sure all the cheap seats are gone by now.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Dana, you certainly get around.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Actually, it's more than a nest egg. It's more like a nest ostrich at this point...
I cannot bear to do any work today. Which is something of a problem.
Yeah, I'm right there with you. And listening to punk rock really isn't helping my work ethic.

are you getting paid?
No. In fact, I'm paying for the privilege. What's the opposite of a whore?
And do you have someone to beat you to keep you in line?
Well, the violinists can get pretty snarky if you get in their way...

"Wow, where'd you dig up that old relic?" "I KNOW! I didn't think there were any of these old Ford F-150s left anymore."
Voyager actually did this in the episode where they found Amelia E-a-r-h-a-r-d-t frozen in a tube on an alien planet.. There was that episode where they found an old Ford pick up truck floating in space that they beamed into a cargo bay. Tom Paris turned on the ignition, and it started right up. Built Ford tough.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So Jesse, that gig pay much?
Ha ha ha. Remember the part where I'm making my full semester's pay over break.
No. In fact, I'm paying for the privilege. What's the opposite of a whore?
I don't think we have that in English.
