Rghfrgl:
Welder by day.
Dancer by night.
Carl-E:
Or, if you prefer something more modern;
Perfectly Reasonable:
Underground robot fighting tournaments? Post Singularity, are these still a thing? Well, Underground, duh.
The more I think about this, the more I wonder. Given AIs in sophisticated chassis capable of walking, talking, and throwing Pintsize across the room --- what must the military equivalents be like? I don't think Jeph wants to go there...
Also, YAY! for Supportive Marten.
SubaruStephen:
Yay for robot fighting leagues! Faye's entry would be unstoppable.
Anyone catch the return of BattleBots on Sunday? Awesome.
ReindeerFlotilla:
Actually, I think working at the Secret Bakery would be just fine because bills need to be paid.
Having, basically, given up on the daily grind to pursue my dream of webcomicing, I can tell you that not treading water is ENORMOUSLY stressful. Given everything Faye has to deal with, I think something stable is in order.
Of course, I do think she ought to explore options first. It's only been a few days, and Marten is giving her a chance (a chance a lot of people would not get). You certainly should try to make the most of it, when that happens. But you've got to be ready to do what you have to just to keep your head above water.
If you find a pace you can maintain (i.e. figure out how to float rest) treading water is exactly what you have to do until you figure out which direction you can swim in. It's no good picking the direction you want to go if it doesn't lead to the dry ground you want to stand on (or doesn't lead to dry ground at all).
I'm constantly challenged by the thought that I've made a terrible mistake, doing what I'm doing. I can't imagine trying to keep moving forward and battle addiction while trying to hold myself together in the face of abandonment issues and depression.
