Bad Superman:
This is more of a gut reaction than actual critique but I’m a little ticked off about Faye’s choice of words.

"How long you been bangin’ my sister?"

Really? Is that how you talk to someone you’ve just met? Especially if it’s the new SO of your sibling?
'Nice to meet you.' - 'What do you do for a living?' - 'How long have you been fucking my sister?'
I mean, yes, Faye is a little bit blunt most of the time, and Evie seems to be cool with the question, but come on…

And also, yeah, I could never be self-employed. I can’t even organise my hobbies properly. Me being my own boss would be pure horror…

This is just how Faye talks to everyone, including people she's only just met. It's the way she is, for better or for worse.

That said, she is in a bad mood because of Amanda being... well... herself and another unfortunate personality characteristic of hers is she spreads her bad mood around everyone.

Don't confuse the "gig economy" with self employment. The "gig economy" is just the old evils/abuses of piece work/casual labour revisited, its nothing to do with proper self employment. [at this point I was starting to type a long political diatribe, but this isn't the place].

There is a lot to be said for self employment for the right person in the right situation.

--- Quote from: BenRG on 08 Jan 2018, 23:24 ---Okay, relationship bad sign here: Amanda didn't think to mention Evie again, even though she has apparently guessed Faye doesn't read her electronic messages. I mean, I can be absent-minded so I don't have grounds to stand and preach. However, I would have expected Amanda to have gushed about her new girlfriend at least once to her big sister during their conversations. Either Amanda is easily distracted or Evie isn't that big a deal for her.

--- End quote ---

Eh, I didn't discuss my partner with my sister for well over six months, until one day she asked me "So, have you still got your girlfriend in [region]?" and it turned out the grapevine is more proactive than I am. Sometimes, a new relationship is none of anybody's business. On the other hand, Amanda had made the first step of trying to tell Faye, so you'd think she'd have crossed the mental line of keeping mum.

blt:
That seems like an unusually rude way to phrase it, even for Faye.
