I am the fly who dreams of the spider

I know I'm being an asshole, but that one encounter with the gypsy boy really burned me.

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

I'm doing precisely what I wanted to do for a living when I was 13, so as far as living your dream goes, I'm in the industry, and although the precise bits I'd focussed on aren't part of my day to day, that's because they didn't live up to the hype, not because I don't love computers.

I do wish I had paid more attention to other stuff too, but, fuck! I got to teach martial arts for actual (pittance) money too! That was a way more wild dream than also wanting to get paid for drawing and photography. Two out of four and a steady paycheque are nothing to sneeze at.

I wish I could order off the kid's menu. Anywhere. It's been forever since I finished off a burger and fries, and it's not like they're doggy-baggable. Silly waste.

I hate coming back to my desk and my screen is unlocked. Not only do I deliberately try and do that (it's company policy), but it should do so in my absence! Account profile policy...

You can order off the kids' menu at McDonald's! Or any fast-food place, I'd bet.

I doubt there's a fast food place in the world that would say "No, we don't want your money." Just say your kid is in the car or something.

I reheat half a burger and fries all the time. Is that gross?(admittedly, the texture leaves things to be desired)

I've never had my taxes professionally done, but $480 sounds like a huge price to pay for that! Is that based on how much you're getting back, or something else?

Totally! My mother bitches about the $150 she paid.

Fries are unreheatable. I suppose you could redip them in hot oil, but anything less is insufficient.

We always baked things like fries to get them hot and crispy again.

You've never been prevented from ordering off the kiddy menu when you're eating in? I've had my hand smacked more than once.

Just say your kid is in the car or something.

And then hope to make it out before Child Services comes to see why I left them locked in the car while I ate their food in the restaurant?

I'm not sure if this implies I do more ordering for myself off the kiddie menu than most, or less. I did stop, however, after being denied a handful of times. Eat in, of course. Just like the first kids menu search result in Google specifies.
