There's a moment in your life that everything else hinges on. At that moment, what you do will determine if you succeed... or if you end up cleaning elementary schools or working in a porn retail shop. There's a feeling exclusively for that moment. Some react to it by saying things such as "Sweet Celestia", others seize up and are left speechless, many sweat off half their body weight, and occasionally some even end up pissing themselves. That feeling is exactly what our friend Boulder Buster is going through right now!
Here we see Boulder Buster in his natural habitat, sitting in a waiting room and sweating from the nervousness of yet another job interview. "Mista Busty Bouwla, your interview will start in five minutes." The elderly secretary's guess of his name had improved tremendously from 'Bulimic Backwash'. Hopefully the earth pony wouldn't have to deal with her much once he got the job. If he got the job.
The waiting room had been packed with eager candidates trying to do something with their lives, now he was the only one left. "Actually, my name is Boulder Buster."
"I know what your name is Bacterial Bagel!"
Well this is going great! He decided to check the time since he had been there several hours. So I got here at 8:00 and its- Upon seeing the clock his pale green eyes grew to the size of dinner plates. "I've been here for eight hours?!"
"Why do you say that?" Boulder pointed a hoof at the clock. "Oh, that clock doesn't work mista Baking Bastard."
At that moment, a businesspony came out with a satisfied looking stallion in tail. "Okay, that seems to be the last interview for the day." The interviewer then began to walk to his office paying no mind to the sweat covered navy blue stallion.
"Um, excuse me sir I-"
"Oh yes! I almost forgot!" At this Boulder breathed a sigh of relief. "You can go clean up the coffee by the door. Hurry up before it stains!"
Boulder quickly retorted "Actually, I'm here for an interview."
"Oh. Boulder Buster I presume? I had you scheduled for three hours ago." His scolding tone reminded the blue pony why he was so nervous.
"Um, yes."
"Well hurry up and get in there!" Boulder then jumped up and began fixing his dark grey mane. "There's no time for that! Just go!"
Boulder Buster nearly sprinted through the door to the conference room. Once he stepped into the room he took in the ponies of the interview panel. Each of them was nearly identical with a yellow body and brownish-red mane. It's a board conference? Damn. The businesspony from before gave him a scowl that said 'I hope you don't get the job!'
Okay. I got this. "I would like to begin my presentation by giving you a little information on my background in the business. My first job was as an unloader for one of the shipping warehouses near my high school." This caused a slight murmur to arise from some of the ponies. "I had the job for about three years and then I graduated and got my business degree. After that, I was hired as a-"
'Why won't you answer me?!' Shit! I thought I put my phone on silence. 'Hello?! This is your cell phone!'I knew I should have changed that ringtone. The businessponies all looked extremely confused now. 'What do you think your not gonna answer me? You'll keep me in your pocket like I'm some dirty little &%*?!' The one who had scolded him earlier looked appalled. Which pocket did I put it in? 'I'm not gonna ring forever pal, and when I'm done ringing that's it! You can say goodbye!'
The room was ominously silent until one of the businessponies spoke up. "Nǐ de wèntí shì shénme? Nǐ dào zhèlǐ lái, shènzhì bù lǎnde shuō wǒmen de yǔyán! Gǔn chūqù!" While the stallion gestured to the door, Boulder could only stand in place with his mouth hanging wide open. The first businesspony escorted him to the elevator.
What just happened? "You thought this was a shipping company?" This broke the blue pony from his trance.
"Uh... Yeah."
"Abstergo Industries is not a shipping company! So you really worked for that company that long."
"What company?" he raised an eyebrow at the question.
"The shipping company!"
"Oh! No, I made that up." This caused the businesspony to get even angrier.
"Get out of here!" The outburst caused Boulder to sprint through the revolving door.
Weighed down by another failure he began his walk home. He had gotten enough money from his brother's lottery winnings for a lifetime but didn't feel right about not having a job. At least Sophistacate has high school to keep him busy. I can't belive MY twin brother is still in high school. At the thought of his brother he remembered that somebody had called him. Let's see who could it be now... Once he found the culprit he couldn't help but facehoof. What could he want?! "Sophistacate! What are you doing calling me?! Aren't you supposed to be in math?"
"Wait what?"
"You called me in the middle of my interview! I had to be dragged out of the conference room!"
"No not that. Did you just say I'm in math? I thought this was physics." Dumbass
"Yes, you're in math!"
Meanwhile in the math classroom...
"Oh. Hold on, I think something interesting is happening." Sophistacate hung up his cell phone.
Mr. Pythagorum spoke up. "Since our friend Thunder Gunner seems to have fallen asleep yet again, would anypony in the front row like to switch seats with him." For a few moments there was no response from the students. Then Sophisticate's bright orange eyes focused on Thunder's seat in the far back corner of the room. He then realised where he was sitting: In the front row, directly in front of the teacher's desk. The burgundy earth pony quickly raised his hoof. Mr. Pythagorum looked at him for a few seconds and narrowed his gaze then looked at the rest of the class. "Does anypony else want to switch with Mr. Gunner." Again, nopony responded and Sophisticate became excited. "Well, it's your lucky day Thunder. You can keep your seat.
Sophisticate pushed his long golden mane out of his eyes. "BULLSHIT! C'MON!"
The teacher simply ignored him. "Okay class. Return to your work."
"But I'm a senior! I should sit where I want!"
"Sophisticate, we all know that this is your third senior year. You don't need to brag about it."
He raised an eyebrow at the statement. "This is my third senior year?"
"Yes it is. I understand how you can't tell, time does seem to go faster when your asleep."
"Wow! I didn't know you taught psychology too!"
"Get back to your wonderful brother before I give you another detention."
He picked up his cell phone and redialed his brother. "Hey, have you calmed down yet?"
"Yeah."
"Good because I need to meet you at the travel agency in half an hour. We need to decide where we're going on vacation. I'll get the crew there on time." This got Boulder excited.
"Oh yeah! Meet you there!" Sophisticate hung up the phone again and prepared to ask the teacher to 'go to the bathroom'.
"Mr. Pythagorum? Bro? I need to-"
"Don't even ask. Just go."
"Thanks man!" He then proceded to run out and find his friends. "This brocation will be awesome!"
