Welcome to Dopeville, pop. 27,757

By day, I work at the Dopesville Bank. Preventing fraud and making sure all Doper funds are safe from Bad People.

By night, I coach the amateur hockey league.
I wield my sarcasm like a switchblade.

And I thought you said I soould be nefarious! :wink: Then again, even the most nefarious villainnesses must have some repentance in them, I suppose.

Such as double-posting.

And who will play in the Philharmonic? I’ll take up a second violin or viola position.

[sub]And how many more times will I post to this thread?![/sub]

Coming this January you may hope to see me using the town jail.

I can use a good paralegal.

Okay, I can do that, though I have no formal schooling. You willing to train a sassypants who will want to learn more than she probably should? I do excellent academic research. I hope that’s a modifyable skill.

I’ll be the new, young English teacher at Dopeville High - you know, the one all the male teachers are sweet for. :wink:

Gods, I do not really know where i could fit in, but i’d love a job as a deejay or maybe as someone who covers the courthouse beat for the newspaper.

I am, of course, the cub reporter at the Gazette, fresh out of school and trying to get my sea-legs in this hectic town. I am under Gorgon’s tutelage, as he is the grizzled photographer, and sleep on a couch in the back of the office, since I don’t exactly have anywhere to stay. I am never seen without my rumpled trench coat and “Press” hat.

Luckily, being at the Gazette 24/7 gives me ample opportunity to gaze affectionately at the copy editor, who I am convinced is the love of my life. I haven’t found the way to tell her, yet, as every conversation I’ve ever had has wound up with me stammering like an idiot.

I am also aspiring to be a writer, and whenever I get the chance to get out of work for a bit I can usually be seen pestering MrVisible about some odd aspect of writing or another.

So, boss, got any ideas as to where I could find myself some scoops?

Sure, I’ll help out at the library, as long as I get first crack at the Annual Friends of The Library Sale.

I’m going to mosey on over to the coffee shop. Anyone want a cappachino?

Well, there’s no rule against flirting with me if you happen to see me when I’m off-duty. Hint: you might find me at the local coffeehouse, drinking tea and reading the Gazette.

Who knew the library would be such a seething den of lust?

The stars that hang high over Shanghai
Bring back the memory of a thrill…

Hot Damn! She’s been here!

She’ll come back. I just know she will. Guess I’ll head on over to this gal Skerri’s joint that I heard about and have a drink.
And wait.

You can do the midday shift - 10AM to 2PM on KDPE.

And your job will constantly be in jeopardy as a big conglomerate buys all the radio and TV stations in town.

Any other takers?

I’m going to be the local video-store clerk. Anyone asking for “Navy Seals” is gonna get hurt.

(Yes, I’m just Randal from Clerks. So what?)

Barring that, I’ll just work at the bookstore, hanging out behind the counter and talking to all the customers.

brianjedi, if you’re Randall from “Clerks”, then I automatically adore you. :smiley:

Sure, ivylass. Knitting, crochet, crewel, spinning, applique, whatever. All of my friends of all crafty persuasions are welcome. Just give me a call beforehand so I can tidy up a little and sweep the cat hair off the couch.

<town gossip>
Have you met that new reporter they’ve hired on down at the paper? They’re so cute when they’re just out of school–spending nights in the newsroom, sure they’ll have a Pulitzer within the year! As if anything goes on in Dopeville! Unless he were to finally crack that mystery about Mayor Adams…Anyway, he’s kind of sweet, in a retro fedora kind of way. I’ll have to bring him something from the coffee shop the next time my shifts line up.

Of course I get to be the big gossip! I work at the paper and the coffee shop! I hear about everything that goes on in this town.

I run the Resource Center at the Dopeville Christian Church. We sell books, videos, study guides, magazines, music, religious supplies, and 458 different translations of the Bible. We’ve even started a small lending section, where you can borrow selected materials or just sit around with a cuppa joe and read the latest in fundie books. (Hope you don’t mind the competition, iconoplast, mcms_cricket, Kyla and all of our other wonderful bookstore/library/coffeehouse employees – but don’t worry, we’re kind of a niche group.)

You can find information about our services and ministries in the religion section of the Dopeville Gazette. (Don’t worry, our account is current.)
