Oh, I know. [ there's a nonchalant shrug. ] I'll just do it while I'm off. You know, nights, weekends, whatever. I can probably work remotely a little, too. And then maybe if this stuff really takes off I'll just quit? Who knows.

Anyway, don't worry, I'm not just going to follow you around everywhere. And it's not that I'm not grateful you got me my day job. I'm just... open to other opportunities, you know?

[ less boring opportunities. ]
