‘Hicks, how come you’re not working.’
I go, ‘There’s nothing to do.’
‘Well… you pretend like you’re working.’
‘Well… why don’t you pretend I’m working? You get paid more than me: you fantasize. Pretend I’m mopping. Knock yourself out. I’ll pretend they’re buying stuff; we can close up. I’m the boss now, you’re fired. How’s that? I’m on a fucking roll. We’re all millionaires and you’re dick. I’m pretending shit, I’m wacky, I can’t be stopped.’
I don’t know if I have the right attitude for the workplace.
I’d rather be paid to be paid.
As long as I’m not paying to work, I’m good.
