Jack of all trades, huh? And I think it's more to do with the ship liking a certain level of commitment. I don't think you can get nanite clearance to more than one department.
Or some other word that makes the ship sound less like a Macy's.
I think the nanite clearance thing sort of negates department. And every other word you could've used sounds like you're in the army or you work for the government.
But hey, as long as i'm not working in the shoe department.
Whether or not i'd run out of clean jeans to wear was never really something I aspired to worrying about. This place is more decked out than my local YMCA and yet there aren't any spares clothes?
Maybe someone else already ran off with all of it.
It was before my time, but apparently we stopped off at a station once. It nearly killed everyone, obviously, but maybe the next one will have a shopping mall.
[ OH YEAH, that totally encourages the optimism theme. ]
Pretty broad spectrum of possibilities there, though I don't know how close we rank to complete and utter innhilation. But i'm glad to know that at least somebody's setting their expectations high.
The question is, whether or not it's a shopping mall we'll even want to go in to.
But no, I didn't even do the whole college thing. High-school drop outs don't get to end up in frat houses, not that I would've ended up in one in the first place. More of a family saying.
More like for survival, but most high school dropouts don't end up in Iraq making business deals either. I'm guessing you'd expect arrests and drug deals, working at a gas station somewhere, right?
Wow. No, you're right, most of them probably don't do that. But maybe they do, what do I know. I managed to get to college before I hit my dropout phase and I didn't do anything half as exciting.
I've also been a floor sweeper at a meat packing plant. Not everything i've done's been all that exciting, but knowing another language or two even helped in that instance. At least with entertainment.
If you're gonna learn something, learn Spanish. Or Russian.
How about Hebrew. Or Latin, med schools love that.
And I've spent a depressing amount of my professional life mopping up various bodily fluids, so no judgment there. I feel it helps you grow as a person.
Do I even want to know what you do professionally? Because I could start making guesses, i'm just not sure I want to spend that much time thinking about all the possibilities.
Definitely don't envy you, but I wouldn't come close to knocking nursing, either. Not a job I could do. Not because of the bodily fluids though, i've dealt with my fair share of those, too.
And now it's my turn to not think about the possibilities. One thing I'll give the TQ - its medbay definitely makes 21st century Boston look about as medically advanced as putting leeches on people's faces. Also slightly easier to keep clean.
I'd hope so- we're in space. If it wasn't medically advanced, i'd have to start wondering whether or not our priorities get turned ass backwards as soon as we invent the first flying car.

[ actually, he's wondering if anyone's asked the local about that disease. ]
So why Greek?
no subject
Why'd I learn it? Or why do I even care about a dead language in the first place?
no subject
no subject
But for the most part, definitely wouldn't rank it as one of the most useful languages.
no subject
What are we talking, frat house? For the saying. You don't really see much Greek around anywhere else these days, do you?

I wouldn't have pegged you for a dropout. No offense. I don't think they usually go on to study obscure languages for fun, but I could be wrong.
