    • I give it until he has to deal with the next customer with a BS complaint (IOW, about 90 seconds) – I “almost” feel sorry for that “victim”.

  1. I sort of expected this much, but I can tell he’s finally starting to crack. That’s a good thing that will 1) allow him to gain the respect of those around him, 2) get Cooper to stop pulling pranks on him, 3) give him the special ability called “practical sense” (used to be common sense, but since it isn’t common it got a name change), and 4) cause friction with Stuart.

    I think this could end up being a fantastic show.

  2. I knew it! Though he’s really ticked off he will lie and hide it. Enjoy your double shift Josh, I’m sure there’s no one waiting at home for you anyway.

  3. If he cracks, he might re-assemble as a human being as suggested above. However, Stuart is living proof that cognitive dissonance can trump good sense, common or practical, if a person is soulless enough.

  4. Josh: No! I will not be crushed by these insignificant setbacks!
    Marla: Okay, please pick up that mountain while you’re at it.

    • Not really.

      If I’m sick that I can’t move much and am puking my guts up, it’s generally a pretty safe bet I won’t be well enough to do anything the next day, either, so I’d call work or e-mail teachers to let ‘em know I would be sick the next day. Especially for work, it would give them more time to find somebody rather than calling at the last minute.

  5. Yeah, Josh, keep telling yourself how much you love your job, when one customer comes up demanding a sale price from a flyer from last year, and another insists on paying a $40 sale entirely in pennies. He’ll crack sooner or later. I’m betting on sooner.
