Person 1:It's only 8:00pm why are you leaving?
Person 2:I work the curb now, and I'm supposed to be meeting with a few other curb workers to chat.

paintstaking work

Extremely careful precise work wif da tempera and water-colors.

I did some really paintstaking work on da community-mural, and felt totally drained afterwards. But then everyone was super-pleased and praisingly impressed wif da final result, so I felt it was all worth da extra effort.
