[Michael tosses the butterfly plush on to a twin size bed and sits on the edge of it. The room is so silent that you can hear the faint whir of the camera drone as he talks.]
[He's still wearing his welding leathers and comeaux, and he pulls that away, and tosses it aside, letting his hair fall to his shoulders. He sits up to look at the camera, but the facade fades. He slumps into his legs.]
So. Welding finished on the company's latest, and the inspector signed off. I've been working six tens for... a while now, but until the company gets a new contract or they want me on brazing work, I'm done, and considering I've got enough for a while, I'm going to stay done. Get some college back in me.
By the way, fuck anyone who thinks working six tens is ok. That shit will kill you and your buddies. I'll be honest I'd quit if I had another job lined up.
All that money and nothing to spend it on since all you want to do is sleep.
[They let out a tired, sick laugh.]
As if that couldn't describe me all over. No, that's just the exhaustion talking, yer fine, man.
Listen, I'm. Gonna take care of myself for a few minutes, ask me anything about my job in the meantime. I won't mention the company or my co-workers by name, but I'll tell you anything else you want to know about being a certified welder, I'll answer when I get out.
