Meg Cabot Quote

I guess I must have verbally expressed my disappointment over losing the online auction for my kickass boots, since Becca said, You sure do swear a lot.I shrugged and pointed at the swear jar. I'm supposed to put a dollar in it every time I curse. But I don't think I'm that bad. I didn't add that at the apartment my roommate, Gina, and I shared, she'd installed a swear jar, too.You're that bad, Becca said. You said the F-word, like, five times in a row.I tried not to sound indignant. Swearing is a proven stress reliever. You should try it instead of doing to yourself. I nodded toward her bandaged arm. When I'm under a lot of stress, dropping a couple of f-bombs makes me feel a lot better.What have got to feel stressed about? She looked around the office. This doesn't seem like such a hard job.Oh yeah? You don't know the half of it. My job wasn't the problem. It was my personal life that was currently going down the toilet. I'm not even getting paid for this.What? Becca came out of her daze a little, seeming genuinely surprised, but not enough to let go of the horse pendant. How come?Because there are, like, nine hundred applicants with way more experience than people my age for every job that comes available. We all have to work for free just to get some experience, so we can put it on our résumés so we can maybe get a paying job someday, but there's no guarantee we will. Oh, right, I forgot they don't mention this in high school. You''re still brimming with hope and joie de vivre.
