    In another story I mentioned my character had been told he was not only representing the political candidate he supported but his school too when he made appearances on TV or in person. It does reflect badly on schools/employers when an associate makes antisemitic, racist, or homophobic posts.

    Unfortunately, it's a fact of life. Colleges and employers don't want to find themselves in a bad situation by accepting/hiring someone that could make them look bad. What amazes me is people don't seem to learn. How may minors have been arrested this year for posting things considered a threat? Or did Roxane really expect not to get in trouble by comparing a black woman to a monkey? Social media reviews are just a new thing but background checks and credit reports have been used for a long time. Hell, 30 years ago I had to take a lie detector test for a bank job. And it was in management! They made me an offer but I was pissed off about the polygraph, told them so, and rejected the job.

    The story will be around after I finish posting, coming back to read the entire thing in a sitting or two's a possibility. Social media's definitely a double edged sword.

    As is often the case with me, I try to round out the story to ensure I cover most eventualities. Win or lose, Chipper's getting ready for the future.

    He did say he took business courses in college so at least he has an idea of how the entertainment world works. Too many aspiring young performers are clueless and get taken advantage of

    In today's environment lawyering up is a requirement for anyone with even the slightest possibility of facing litigation. Chipper's lucky he has Ethan to guide him through the legal stuff.

    “The offer’s legitimate.” Miles Abramonov handed Chipper and Ethan fresh Corona bottles and joined them at the poolside table. His wife had taken their kids inside to allow the men to discuss business without distractions. Chipper adjusted the towel around his shoulders. As the sun raced toward the horizon, the temperature had dipped. “So what’s the next step?” “Nothing right now.” Following a joint workout first thing in the morning, Ethan spent a couple of hours in the office while

    I think a lot of writers would love to have their fictional characters appear. Pat may not be part of that group. Well written and entertaining. Good job, my friend. (I was expecting 15k word or more LOL)
  11. Damn! For a second I thought of how hot it would be to take all three back home. I was thinking pig and instead got wolf.
  12. I'm still finding them in some of my older stories. I think they procreate behind our backs!
  13. Most enjoyable.
  14. @northie Timing's impeccable. Go check your PMs. LOL
  15. @Cia You may need to do a little editing on the above...

    Stay at your desk so your students can't notice movement below your waist.

    You don't even know this, but I toyed with the idea of a romp between the four. What I felt like writing might not have fit in with GA's community standards, though. Y'all can let your imaginations run wild.

    Groan... Jennifer Hudson didn't win either and she's done okay for herself. Even though the story's written and edited, I revisit each chapter the day before it posts. So far I've tinkered with all of them. A missing word or comma, word repetition echoes, and other small stuff like that. It would be easy to change the name announced at the end of the last chapter. I made sure not to mention The Voice when the reporters were sharing Squad micro-biographies during CJ's inauguration.

    Thanks, kiddo!
  20. You have my address for mailing purposes, right? May I suggest day drinking and binge watching as an alternative? Stay down for a couple of days!

    Miniature chapters call for miniature cliffhangers. We'll see if there's any logic to his statement in the next chapter.

    Good friends are hard to find, but when you do they can help you through the roughest of times.

    While some of his other friends may have gone ballistic, Chipper kept his calm and sought help. Our kids are growing up!

    Two party boys and two attorneys in addition to a great coach. I think he's in good hands.

    Yup! Ethan might not have been part of the original crowd but he's proving his joining The Squad is something he took to heart.
