WELL CRAP!!!

The other avies in their cubicles peeked over the top like prairie dogs.....

"BobbyMac! You watch your mouth! You know this is a raytedpeegeethirteen world!" admonished Cari, my boss.

"Sorry mistress!," I replied.

"This simulation is hard work," I muttered but Rosee, my fellow student and friend, overheard.

"Simulation is hard BobbyMac. We are just learning how to do this in There so don't get discouraged, Ok?" she smiled."

“I know and I know I was lucky to be accepted here at the OSA (Ootay Simulation Academy) and to be able to work with all you wonderful avies, but I swear, these bee simulations sometimes have a mind of their own!" I said.

"And what the heck is a 'human' garden anyways?" I continued.

"Well, I really don't know," Rosee said, "But you know what they say, 'The life of a worker avie never stops...'"

SCRREEEECHHHH!!!!!!!!

My brakes screamed as I slammed them to avoid hitting the idiot in front of me that obviously had never heard of turn signals .........

I cut loose a few choice expletives.....and my wife who I had forgotten on the cell phone lays into me how I shouldn't let my blood pressure get up like that......dang!

What a day! I had been playing in this online chat room thingy (It's NOT a game! the forum fanboys liked to say...sheesh) the night before....and was really starting to have a blast .....

I had been racing buggy's and shooting paintball's and riding hoverboard's and flying in hoverboat's .....whew I felt kinda worn out for my lil avie named BobbyMac......this online play thing was hard work! 'lol (look at that I even type using the emotes....'rofl)

I had met other people in there (or at least their avies) and really was enjoying it.....when my wife interrupted me saying, "Ya know honey, ya really gotta go to work early tomorrow.....that online crap won't pay the bills!"

So here I was heading to work, risking my life on the freeway, to support my family.

You know what they say.......The life of a working man never stops...

SLITERBLAGGGG!!!!!!!

I hate to be interrupted in the middle of a session..................!!!!!"

Easy on the blagging snitchkins! You'll blow out an optic sensor!!!," my spousal unit beamed at me.

Geesh. It's bad enough HAVING to enter modality as opposed to modalating because you want to....

But the PAX TERRA MODAL PROJECT code was clear........"Modality is a privilege not a right".........

Yes my duty was clear, I must modal as much as possible.....in fact the modality was quite incredible when you thought about it......a digital virtual real time reality not so different from our own running on hyper quantum processors with mind bogglingly massive storage capacities...at last count I believe the number of virtual particles being processed simultaneously was on the order of 10 to the 84th power....

And small though my part was and as exhausted as I was I knew I must continue my modal of the small being located on the minor data structure locally called Earth.....who ironically was playing a simulation of its own, (something called There I believe).

I slithered my tentacles to the modal rig, made sure the slime dripper was functional, and lowered it over my occipital phrenal cavities in order to enter the modal once again........

and thought .......

The life of a working modaler never stops...........
