1) Public workers get salaries lower than private for comparable jobs.
Actually, they get lower rates for higher-ranked positions, but higher rates for entry-level and low-skill positions.
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

Good lord, who has TIME for all that? (Especially if she's actually a med student like it claims) I mean, I barely have time for my actual internet life, and there's only one of me, and it's all real so I don't have to worry about mixing up my lies or anything. Eesh.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
What meara said. I hardly have time for the one FB account.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I went shopping during my lunch break. I lost track of time and did not leave time to get food. Also, the watch I bought is broken so I have to take it back. Waste of time and now I am really hungry and thus craving junk food.

Maybe alternate personalities take turns keeping track of their own respective internet identities? I don't know, I can't even keep my login names/passwords straight now that I have a bunch to different websites.

And given how old she is now, wouldn't she have been, like, thirteen or something when the whole thing began?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Does being a med student mean she has easy access to speed or meth? I honestly can't imagine any other way she would have time for all of this!

Well, I only read the first couple posts on that site, but it basically said she was 13 or 14 when it got started with the first profile of the guy...and that you can tell from the bands he listed as favorites that it was really ghost-written by a 13 year old girl. Essentially. Snark away!
