thinking about how in blink martha has to get a job in a shop to ‘support’ the doctor as well. like was he just too silly and goofy to hold down a job? did he keep telling managers how to do things even better? did he accidentally set an espresso machine on fire? like what kind of shenanigans did he cause that meant no one was hiring him
