Rookiehood 101, Tuesday, Period 4

[raspberryturk]

"Yo, Rookies!" Reno took this opportunity to stick his tongue out as his students, yes. Don't knock it. Just smile and nod. "Today, we're gonna talk about a subject that's real near and dear to my heart. Downtime, yo."

Reno spoke only of the most important things, yes.

"Now, I dunno where you're all gonna go once you get outta this school. I don't know if you're going to be workin' some McJob at some cheap Mooby's ripoff where every now and again you gotta deal with special charity events and annoying clowns and junk, or if you're gonna go and take a runnin' leap into somethin' big and rough and dirty. Maybe a military job. Maybe politics." A small smirk at that. People were welcome to try to convince him that politics weren't dirty. He'd laugh at them and then offer to introduce them to his former boss. "Fact is, wherever you go, unless you're freakishly lucky, the work ain't gonna always be easy. You're gonna learn to appreciate the downtime that you get, or you're gonna break yourself by buryin' yourself in too deep all the time, yo."

Oh, he was so pointedly not looking at Elena right now.

"This kinda goes hand-in-hand with last week's class, zoto. It's a matter of knowin' your limits, or bein' able to listen to your superiors if they go ahead and tell you where they are, yo. So I'm gonna give you all a few scenarios to work with, and I want you to tell me what it is you'd do under those circumstances."

[OCD up! Open!]

Scenario Four: Playing Truancy Officer

[raspberryturk]

You're off-duty again, spending time with your usual riffraff group from work. The coworker who can easily drink the whole lot of you under the table (you wussy) has had a few too many, mentions that he's way behind on his paperwork, and he's been ducking calls from the boss as a result. What do you do? Call the boss and narc? Or make him buy the next round of drinks as blackmail?

"He buys!" For the next week, actually. Makita didn't have many scruples when it came to getting people to feed her.

Momoko hated paperwork. But if she had to do it, so did everyone else.

"I'd warn them that I won't cover for them and that they should ask for help if they need it. They'll totally get caught and in trouble without me telling anyone. Especially if the boss keeps calling and he won't answer."

"He's not getting off that lightly," Elena smirked. "Covering to the boss is worth way more than a round of drinks."

"Neither," Squall answered. "His paperwork is his own business. It doesn't affect me."

And that was seriously all the more thought he put into the issue.
