Colleen goes to school? When? I've certainly never
seen her there. What's her major? How many classes
is she taking? Wasn't she taking art classes back
when she was sleeping with her professor? That seems
like years ago. No wonder it's taking her this long
to get her degree. She is supposed to be working at
Crimson Lights but she's a patron there more often
than an employee. She's supposed to be the new
"Fresh Face of Jabot" but they've yet to take a
single picture of her. And now she's on the board of
directors for Newman Enterprises, another job that
takes about five or ten minutes out of the year.
Working isn't something people spend a lot of time
at in this town.
Isn't Lily supposed to be going to school too? She's
another one that will still be a sophomore by the
time she's thirty at this rate. Up until this week
at the bookstore, I can't remember the last time
I've even seen her read a book, if ever, let alone
attend class. Instead she seems determined these
days to spend all her time hanging around Chloe and
Cane. Heck she spent three days at the hospital
having no business there so far as I can tell yet
she was a more constant presence in Chloe's room
than the nurses were. Doesn't she have a job? Or
does she still get an allowance from her daddy?
What about Daniel? Did he ever go to school? Or did
he just pass on college for one foray into the art
world after another? Let's see, he was a
photographer for a minute or two, wasn't he? Or at
least aspired to be. Somehow that transitioned into
doing pencil sketches of dead people and his naked
girlfriend which landed him a big art show in New
York. Now he wants to paint but nobody wants to buy
his crap. Maybe he should really think about having
something steady to fall back on, but higher
learning is no more sought after in Genoa City than
an eight hour work day.
And why should it be? Most people get their high
powered jobs through nepotism or plain dumb luck.
Either that or they marry into money or sleep their
way to the top. Both, in Jill's case. It's a wonder
she can't see the irony when she wondered how a son
of hers like Billy could behave so "dishonorably."
Yeah, he must get it from his father, John Abbott,
an upstanding citizen of moral fortitude whose only
fault in life was his famously bad taste in wives.
One of those being Jill herself who climbed her way
into the executive ranks on her back and John's dime
and now denies the son she bore him the same
opportunity.
Glad to see Ashley is being such a responsible
executive for Jabot, tossing her cell phone away and
reassuring Victor that those pesky business calls
won't be disturbing their kissy face time. God
forbid work get in the way of these peoples'
personal problems. Billy is wandering around town
wringing his hands over his new daughter and Jack is
at home holding Sharon's hand. Who the hell is
running Jabot anyway? Maybe the only thing that
keeps this company afloat is the fact that the
Abbott family can't be bothered to spend more than
five minutes there per month.
I guess Jack didn't spend enough time holding
Sharon's hand because it looks like she's become a
regular sticky fingers all over town. Too bad she
can't steal something worthwhile like that expensive
bracelet Victor just bought for Ashley, or maybe
some of the jewelry Katherine left to Nikki. Or, you
know, money. God, even when she's insane she's
stupid. And Sharon has pay stubs? For what? I can't
even remember the last time she did anything worthy
of getting paid for. You know, aside from
prostitution, which I don't think you can claim on
your tax return.
Doris is in the hospital for exhaustion? How can she
be exhausted? The woman's in a wheelchair for God's
sake. What is she doing, wheeling around in the
Special Olympics every day? Then again, having to
listen to Sharon's problems night and day would
exhaust anyone. It's a wonder she's not in a boredom
induced coma.
