>>>>>>[ Ugh. That's why I don't like meeting up in anything other than a club or through the matrix. I don't have money. I am poor. The boyfriend and I both work two jobs just to not be homeless and continue our existence. The family has debts up the butt. Mr. Johnson wants me in a place with a dress code? He can pay for it. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[Could be worse. One of the local clubs is anime themed. Requires you to be in costume to get in. The costumes are fragging expensive!

Extraction I mentioned was successful. Does anyone have a use for an expensive Ming replica? Conned the mother of my apprentice into trading it for her soul and it doesn't match the furnishings in my office.]<<<<<

>>>>>[Heh. I live in chi-town, and not the nice parts. Fancy clothes aren't exactly the best of ideas.

If the Johnson wants to meet somewhere, it's usually in the nicer areas. Fletcher's been helping me get a handle on what sort of thing doesn't stand out there. I usually end up having to switch outfits at some point on my way there, which can be annoying.]<<<<<

On a totally unrelated note, does someone know a person at the Seattle Opera who might be willing to earn some extra cash to, for instance, leave a side door unlocked? ]<<<<<

Just checked what you chummers been talking about, since when did this become a fashion collection?  Frag, you wear what works where you need it and don't worry about looking cute or such drek.  'Sides if you're sporting scars like me, there is no way you will ever look cute or whatever the frag you're trying to do because it just brings too much attention to you.]<<<<

[The Wyrm Ouroboros]

>>>>>[ In many towns.  If you look and act professional, you will tend to receive more professional jobs.  If you look like scum, you will be treated as such, and hired only for those tasks for which being scum is not a detraction. As well, your Johnson is more likely to attempt to eliminate you. ]<<<<<

[farothel]

>>>>>[ True, but in LA you have to look pretty as well as professional.  In most other cities I've worked in, professional alone will do the trick and pretty is just a bonus. ]<<<<<

[SlowDeck]

>>>>>[I think the reason my area is different is how we're used to laying low compared to everywhere else. When's the last time something major happened in Kansas City that you heard of? Blending in tends to be a greater sign of professionalism.

Also, local 'Star tends not to hassle you if you don't stand out. Of course, that's probably because they don't want to make enough waves to bring attention to themselves. They don't want the corporate heads to notice where that training budget is really going and how many pole dancing lessons it pays for.]<<<<<

Luckily for me, I generally don't have to meet with new Johnsons anymore, got a nice pool of regs I work for.]<<<<<
