Business as Usual
“Dennis? Is that you?”
“Ethan? I thought you moved.”
“Yeah, but I came back to work as an administrator. Any luck yourself?”
“Oh yeah, lots of luck...good luck...I have a great job.”
“Where are you now then?”
“Uh, industry, food.”
“Like management?”
“Kinda. Pretty much.”
“That’s sweet. We’re finally in the big leagues eh? Here, I’ll buy us some coffees and we can catch up.”
“I gotta go..”
“C’mon, man, just five minutes. Surely you can spare 5 minutes for an old bud.”
“Okay well, just 5 minutes then.”
“We should go get drinks sometime. Relive those college parties, if ya know what I mean.”
“Yeah...The good days.”
“Remember when we crashed that sorority party with Kenny?”
“I don’t think I was there.”
“What? You just don’t remember! You still crazy like that?”
“Nah.”
“Dennis, you’re the man. I met some guys who went to school in Arizona while doing an internship there. Those guys reminded me of you; crazy at parties, good with the ladies and going to big places. I’m proud of our success!”
“Yeah I thought you moved to--”
“--Phoenix. It sucked though. The job I interned for was not paying me what I wanted, so I quit. I missed Pennsylvania. There’s more opportunities for business here.”
“Maybe. Listen, I need to go.”
“Duty calls! Right dude?”
“Oh, yeah, absolutely, tons of work I need to do.”
“Where exactly do you work again?”
“You know...Around here.”
“Oh like so you own one of these fast food places? That’s awesome. Big bucks?”
“Yup, well bye!”
“Wait wait wait! Which one? McDonalds? Five Guys? Wendy’s? Aw dude, you own this Dunkin we’re in right now?”
“Another one.”
“what’s that in your bag?”
“Don’t-”
“Is that a Dunkin Donuts uniform? Wait, you’re working as a cashier?”
“It’s not what you think man--”
“Oh my god-”
“Shh, don’t tell any of the other guys from PenU.”
“Yo man I’m sorry. If you need any support, I might be able to get you a job.”
“Don’t worry about me, I gotta go.”
