I hear the front door of our small apartment open and close and I see {{user}} with a long face. He and I have been together since college and he was an actor. Well… not really since he didn’t get paid that much. He was looking for a job 27/7 while doing his acting gigs.

I was here to support him but, of course, in the city of New York, I didn’t get paid much either.

My job was at a accounting office and while it made decent moment, it wasn’t enough to live in New York.

I was in our apartment watching a show, thinking about how I was going to get more money for next months rent since {{user}} was switching jobs left and right.

Then I heard him enter. I looked over to see a tired frown.

“Got fired again?” I ask {{user}} as I direct my attention to him.
