(9:36 PM) you want to hear all about it?

(9:36 PM) i love hearing about your pain

(9:36 PM) and you know, gossip ;))

(9:43 PM) alright well. here goes. like i SWEAR you programmed this one with a stick up its ass. it’s absolutely hell to deal with, so much worse than connor is and that is SAYING SOMETHING, and you know maybe it’s because this one has to be with me fucking CONSTANTLY for some reason but at the same time i think it’s just because it is actually out to make my life a living hell. apparently it’s fucking bilingual in english and sarcasm and really doesn’t know what a fucking emotion is (see? is it even deviant yet?) and ALSO it barely even gives me a chance to do shit on the scene! my own job! apparently i’m “too slow” for its tastes

(9:45 PM) and i mean i fucking GUESS it’s great for paperwork but just

(9:45 PM) ugh

(9:46 PM) you done?

(9:46 PM) yeah

(9:48 PM) okay well first off: all androids are fluent in every language, please don’t say he’s merely bilingual i’m taking that to heart here

(9:48 PM) dumbass

(9:48 PM) but hey

(9:48 PM) sorry about it?

(9:49 PM) no you’re not

(9:49 PM) no, i’m really not

(9:49 PM) i hate you

(9:50 PM) thanks for letting me rant

(9:50 PM) go fuck yourself

(9:50 PM) you are such a drama queen, i love you
