Starting Out

"Who the hell is this Andy J guy? And why does he keep beating me?" Josh yelled, throwing his hands up."Anger issues much?" Lori said as she walks into the room.

"Whatever." Josh says not paying any attention to her. He turned back to face the TV and pressed the play button. Lori walked over and sat down next to him on the couch. "What do you want?"Josh asked without looking up from his game.

"We should talk." Lori says

"About?" Josh asks, still focused on his game.

"Seriously Josh." Lori says, talking the game controller away from him.

"Fine, what do you want to talk about?"

"Well, you always spend so much time playing video games and you're not even working right now, and I'm just worried about you. I know that Adam just moved to San Francisco, but I don't think this," she said, pointing to the TV, "is a good way to cope."

"Lori, he was my best friend, there is nothing wrong with me sitting here playing video games."

"Except the fact that you've been like this since he moved away, three weeks ago!" She yelled at him.

"Just leave me alone!" Josh yelled back at her.

"That's it," Lori said, pulling Josh off the couch, "we're going out and finding you a job."

Lori drags me out of the house and down the street. "Where are we going?" Josh ask her.

"I saw a help wanted sign at the Rack, so we'll go there first."

When we walked into the Rack and Josh headed straight to the computers. Hoping to pick up the game where he left off, he got pulled back by Lori, who drags Josh with her to the register. "Can I help you?" the manager says.

"Yes, I saw the help wanted sign and was wondering if my brother could apply?" Lori asks.

"uh... sure. I'm just going to need you to come with me and fill out some paperwork." The manager says to Josh.

After the paperwork is finish, and the manager has given Josh the full tutorial of how the machines work, he hands Josh an apron and says, "Congrats, you got the job."

"Cool," Josh replies.

"Be here at ten tomorrow morning." The manager says and walks away. Josh walks back over to Lori to tell her the news.

"I got the job." He says.

"That's great! Now I can get free drinks!"

"Not a chance." Josh replies as they head out the door towards home.
