Career Development | Wednesday, First Period
“Hey.” When students came in this morning, they’d find Faye lounging at the front of the Danger Shop, which had once again been set up like a computer lab. Faye, meanwhile, was very much feeling the effects of having to teach first period, and it was a miracle she wasn’t wearing sunglasses. “I’m Faye Valentine, I’m your teacher this week. Might be your teacher again.” Maybe she could score the free vacation by just doing this one class? “Today, we’re going to talk about how to get free stuff. Specifically, how to get a lot of free stuff.”
She sighed, shifting her hips slightly. “So, you guys are kind of young for this, but it’s never too early to learn: wedding registries are a whole thing. When you decide to get married, you send out an invitation with a link or a store to where you’re registered.” At least, so she heard. Faye was neither the marrying type nor the going-to-weddings type, but she’d done a little bit of research on this and was kind of considering pulling this scam whenever she left this island. (It wouldn’t work back home; she didn’t have enough friends.) “And then people send you presents. A lot of them send presents ahead of the wedding, even, and you can request as much on your invitations. So what we’re going to do today is create wedding registries - wherever you want, I don’t care, though I’m real curious about what’s beyond Bed and Bath, and then I want you to come up with an incredibly believable reason that you’re not actually getting married. If you actually try to pull this off, you’ll need three pieces - an invitation with a wedding date far off in the future and a request that they send things ahead and you can do that on your own time, a registry, and a real sympathetic story about how sad it is you’re not getting married.”
She gestured to the computers. “Oh, and career development-wise...this is to help you learn to shop. And make lists. And it’s a test of your creativity.” There, that sounded good.
