I have done it. I am now useful.
I have acquired a steady job as Pinkie Pie's main assistant, and though I mostly stay far from the water sources in the bakery, I do enjoy being able to greet ponies as they enter.
Specifically, I am a cashier, the first face ponies see. So far, at least, the have seemed to enjoyed my presence. I am content now, and I have no plans for what else to do. It would likely take a massive event to change my mind.
