P-Q woke up on the couch. Pulling himself up, he stretched looking at Breakthrough’s, lair might be the best way to describe it. Technically, they were back at the docks, at the loading yard.

Day Jobs 20: Jobber
Not everyone is a captain of industry, or possess years of training for their work. A Jobber punches in, punches out, and gets a paycheck. Are you a jobber?
