XOXO - Video

Okay, so it's legitimately hard to find some job here. One that's not demeaning or dull, that is. Maybe there's starting a business, but that's going to require jumping through hoops, right?

I'm asking all the old timers. I know some have their own businesses. And I've always been more of an entrepreneur than a follower.

How does a speakeasy sound?

The angle is garbage and lighting is even worse but he has managed a video call, so there's that.

"Hey, not an 'old timer' but there's plenty of places that are hiring. Just depends on what you consider demeaning or dull, I guess.

And don't you just mean a bar? It's not like alcohol is illegal around here."

Yeah, demeaning or dull is the key factor here. Thought that was clear.

Only a bar if you have no imagination. A Speakeasy involves entertainment, maybe burlesque. The whole layout would need to be built from the ground up, what with hidden doors and all. Maybe a dress code too.

Sure... it was clear. But people can have pretty varying opinions on what is demeaning or dull, which is why I asked. I guess yours is working for others?

I'm curious where you're going to get the money for this 'speak easy' without working. But, uh, certainly sounds like you have a vision.

You guess correct. Going from managing a magazine to waitress is a bit of a downgrade to me. I don't think I can accept that.

Mmm, sponsorships maybe. These tarot overlords have to do something, even if it's in their own interests. If not that, I'll think of a plan B.

Right. [He tries to keep his tone neutral but he still comes off sounding a bit judgemental. To him, making a bit of cash by doing whatever they could felt more like a necessity, not something to be choosy about but to each their own.]

Mm. You're hoping to get bankrolled? Well, here's hoping that they don't ask for anything crazy in return. Wouldn't want you to have to resort to bake sales and carwashes to come up with the money.
