Thomas Ligotti: i hope you've all had fun with these jovial tales of jolly clowns, puppets and festivals
King: and how!
Ligotti: but now it's time to turn our attention to more adult matters
Ligotti: to the world of work
King: oh

Ligotti: submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the terrible job
Ligotti: have you ever considered, what if you had a terrible job?
Ligotti: what if it was just a soul-draining experience of constant drudgery
King: oh man
King: oh man that would suck!

Ligotti: imagine, if you would, that you had a shitty job
Ligotti: you think that's bad?
Ligotti: now imagine what if your boss was a weirdo

Ligotti: imagine you had to work in a factory
Koontz: ok! :)
Ligotti: and not like a whimsical factory
Ligotti: such as you might find in s nickelodeon interstitial
Ligotti: i mean like a real factory
Koontz:
Koontz: oh
Koontz: i don't like imagining this :(

King: Thomas, what's with this sudden factory obsession?
Ligotti: i had a bad experience working in a factory once
King: i'm sorry
King: what were you makin?
Ligotti: crunchberries

Ligotti: there was a mistake down at the crunchberry factory
Ligotti: where we accidentally created a cereal that was all crunchberries
Ligotti: then accidentally shipped it out to stores
Ligotti: and then accidentally created a marketing campaign
King: that sounds like quite the wacky mishap!
Ligotti: hm?
