Work Being Work
I was bored at work today, so I amused myself with a character exercise I read somewhere or other. It's something like 'what three words describe your character?' Sort of a word association thing. I decided that I was going to do the public/pre-Gemini characters first, and then follow it with their Gemini private personalities.
After I made said list I looked at and I was like, and these are the good guys? Here are a few examples...
Angel- Bad Ass, domineering, leader
Drake- Bastard, cold, heartless
James- Arrogant, harsh, sarcastic
I used sarcastic a lot, apparently. It seems to be a staple of these particular characters, although few of them translated over into their Gemini private personalities.
The other thing I did was write this, based on something I misheard...
Jo sighed as she settled back in her chair, it had been a long night, and they were still calling California. Her headset beeped and she focused on the screen. "Hello?" She said, to make sure there was a real person on the phone.
"Hello?" A man said back.
Jo smiled, because people could tell when you smiled and were sometimes more polite. "Hi, my name is Jo, can I speak with Tommy Oliver please?"
"This is Tommy," the man said, confused.
"Hi, Mr. Oliver," Jo said, "I'm calling to conduct a survey and was hoping I could have a few minutes of your time."
"First," Tommy Oliver said, "it's Doctor Oliver, and second, what kind of survey?"
"I apologize, Doctor Oliver," Jo said promptly, "this is a political survey about local leaders."
"Well," Dr. Oliver said, "I might take this survey, it depends. Are any of the candidates psychic, evil or a Power Ranger?"
Jo jerked, barely able to stop the 'what?' from coming out of her mouth. "Uh," she said instead, "I don't think so."
"Well," Dr. Oliver said, "in that case, I don't think I'll be voting this year. I wish you better luck with your next caller." He hung up.
Jo stared at the screen, barely hearing her supervisor telling her to go home. It was, without a doubt, the most unique reason for someone to refuse to do a survey.
