How annoying. |\ Those robots at the streets... The monsters that keep hanging around...

They're going to keep making me late for work, eventually. I'm not going to be able to move up to being a proper scout anytime soon, at this rate.

Ah.

...I know your feelings on the matter, but I can't help but think it'd be simpler if you just came and lived with us.

I know. I'm not saying that you can't.

Just that it'd be easier.

Mmm... alright.

Knowing you, you'll work so hard they'll give you a promotion just to get you out of there.

You're very driven, dear.

And you probably make the people you work with look like hopeless bums by comparison.

Hmm... Just be careful that you don't step on people's toes while you do.

Office politics can be tricky. And people can be very... spiteful.

It could be bad, if said toe stepping was on a friend of your superior.

I know it's not something that comes easily, or naturally to you, but you might want to at least have the occasional conversation with your coworkers. Show them that can work well with the people they have there and everything.

If people like you, you'll get promoted faster than just doing a perfect job.

More than that, Umu.

Getting to know your coworkers can also help you learn their strengths and weaknesses... as well as their connections.

...just remember to not force interaction when it's unwanted, unless they're the only one who can do what you need done for your job.

...

I mean to try and act less cold and distant around them.

If people know you, then they also know who's doing the work, rather than having an impression of 'office fairies' doing it for them.

Mm... I guess I'll just have to take your word for it.

I just worry that you won't get the position you deserve because you're... well... intimidating to them.

Mm... I guess it's no use trying to tell you otherwise.

...did you ever tell me where I should pick you up?

Mm... alright.

... Everyday?

It's more that, well, most people get 2 days off a week, let alone one.

Not to mention your long hours.

I'd think that'd require overtime, which most companies wouldn't want to pay.
