Workin' for the man

I would've made a great soul sister in the 60s.
So Ace is working for man-literally. She's acquired a new job working at city hall in LA. It's definitely not the dream job she's been dying for, but for great pay, she'll do most anything.
It's not restrictive, but there are alot of things to remember. There's a huge sense of formality, so I can already say the jobs of walmart and kmart did not prepare me well.
I remember working at walmart and coworkers would joke about being phone sex operaters, and talk about crackin' open a 40 once they got off the clock. So far at this office job, I'm reminded to say please & thank you at every corner. I have to be aware of who to be extra nice to, who is high ranking, and that I have to make people feel welcomed and relaxed. This could be considered a challenge.

so far it's been nice. Not at all what I expected. All the tasks I've been given aren't hard whatsoever, just alot of paperwork. I like that there are no children, and it's super quiet the entire time.

Welcome to the Corporate world, you'd best fasten a good mask for yourself

I have a friend that 'worked' at Walmart. He constructed a little hideout back in the garden section, on those big shelves using fertilizer and mulch bags. He'd stay there for hours without being missed (so he said); even used the store's IPads and earphones to help pass the time. Nope, Walmart doesn't often prepare you for certain other jobs

Gov't jobs do have a 'protocol' It's not so bad (for me anyway) especially when you have a family and all. Do you have benefits, vacation, etc? You'll have some 'down time' to work on ideas for your comic. You'll meet some interesting "characters" to say the least...
