At all. A few have even gotten out of their cars, gotten coffee at the coffee shop they're stuck in front of, etc.<br />A young person and a middle aged person have already had a little small talk, though the young person is getting increasingly frantic about their job interview.<br /><br />"This is awful! I needed that job! Augh, it's so hard to get anything right out of school!"<br />*sips coffee* "What kind of job?"<br />*less enthusiastically* "Advertising art. But Byem at least pays well and I could build my portfolio." *droops*<br />"Oh, you're an artist."<br />"A starving one, at this rate." *sigh* "Want to see? We're gonna be stuck here all afternoon."<br />"Sure."<br />*pulls out portfolio, starts showing off work*<br />*impressed* "Ever thought about doing character design?"<br />*staring off in the direction of Byem, still kind of depressed* "I did some in school. That's not the kind of job you get right away. Damn it, I really needed that job."<br />"My sister works at Adventurevision."<br />*slightly confused* "The game company?"<br />"She's in charge of something big - I can't tell you much because she couldn't tell me much, but she was really excited, and they're going to be hiring artists. She said something about character design, and a few other things. I could get you an interview."<br />*stunned* "Really?"<br />"Hey, you're good, and she needs artists. I can't promise she'll hire you, but I can get you an interview."<br />"Really?" *grinning now* "I mean, yes! Please. Thank you!" *babbles semi-coherent happiness*<br /><br />Or something like that, anyway.depizannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3889388775673754833.post-31253673642924606612013-07-19T17:43:24.331-04:002013-07-19T17:43:24.331-04:00How to make the big traffic jam a happy ending?
