Thread: Even perfection can be ruined (Liblazexspud)

Shawn had been working most of his time at a horrible job, his work started off as a telemarketer. He was supposed to try and take money from as many people as possible, his company using scheamy and evil tactics to try and get as much as he possibly could. During the first week he had to call as many old people as he could only to have them give up their life savings for what pretty much amounted to a pyramid scheme. The next week he was pushed over to the department of complaints... Where he would hear the same customers telling him about how their money was gone, hearing one woman cry about feeding her children.. There was nothing he could do and it made his blood boil. But he didn't dare tell his girlfriend. She was already paying for everything!! She was making most of the money and if he told her that his job was the worst thing he's ever had to experience in his life he knew that she would tell him to quit. He didn't want that, he already felt like a mooch and a leach for not providing as much as her.. he was trying! but he couldn't help it, he would just have to wait it out and get more money.. Deal with this himself. When the day was done he was happy to leave the horrible building, even if it had air conditioning he felt like he should be in hell for what he was doing. Not in some horribly nice office building where the suits made him take away money from people that didn't deserve it. Walking home he always took the long way, refusing to take a bus. Now during the winter months not to long ago it was a great way to cool off and calm down before he got home. Able to push down his feelings and enjoy the rest of the day. But with this horrible heat he was sweating and getting much more worked up by everything, instead of the cool calming breeze making him calm down. It was the annoying sound of crickets ringing in his ears! If he took the bus or the subway he knew it would be much worse. Seeing all those people crammed in the car even if it was cold would make him annoyed again. He would have to deal with everyone pushing up against him..... No. He didn't want to do that, he just needed to calm down. By the time he got home he didn't want to talk to anyone or deal with anything. He just wanted to eat and go to sleep. Dealing with his girlfriend wasn't so much a pain as it was annoying, she was overly sweet but he needed to vent. He couldn't to her and that's just the reason she annoyed him right now. Walking through the park he finally saw their apartment, thank god it was fucking noise proof.. He wouldn't be able to handle all of this crap and then noisy neighbors waking him up in the middle of the night also Getting home he opened the door and took a step in, untying his tie and dropping it on the floor. His finger moved to his top button and he kicked his shoes off at the door, something Liana had asked him not to do many times. He honestly didn't think it was a big deal and didn't care, unbuttoning his top three buttons and shuffling over to the armchair. he sat down with a grumpy expression and sunk into it just staring at the wall. To Liana she wouldn't know what could be bothering him, his job was much easier than hers! By quite a lot, the first couple of days he got the job he was so excited and seemed like he was enjoying it, that was before he realized what he was doing to people. He sighed and slumped a bit more into the chair, looking up at the ceiling, at least he would have some time alone before Liana got here... Or so he thought.
