The In-Limbo Cancan


It’s an Air Conditioningless day here at Surreal But Mice Film Office. I am still here. My pointless dedication shall be the end of me.
I have finished 6 months 10 days and 7 hours here. I think this is now my second longest job. The hot air makes me restless. It’s muggy and you think that hmm maybe if I have to feel muggy I’d rather feel muggy in Marrakech. So here are my options now:

  • A party planner for children birthday’s in Dublin. I’d have to wear a red nose and learn the unicycle. But I am determined at all new careers.

  • A member of a dance group in stage shows. I’m listening to ‘You can cancan’ from the Moulin Rouge. I am just a costume short of a full show. There’s an inverted pun here somewhere. I forget the correct word. Phish?

  • A home stylist. I hear interior decoration requires some learned skill. I spit on it. I am a home stylist.

  • A gift specialist. Busy corporate guys or anyone rich enough to afford me can engage me to buy/make gifts and remember occasions. Wishes for free.

  • A writer who has family money. One or the other is always missing.

  • A shop owner. I have a children’s store called “the rainbow gold”. It’s quite magical. A child wouldn’t want to leave. But I don’t like kids of non-blood (my own) beyond 5 minutes so this is a tough job.

  • A font creator. My latest favourite is Gigi. Like the French movie it has frivolous character.

  • A lady of leisure. Which means my career would be Wife To Rich Man. This might be an easy job to execute but it isn’t an easy job to get.

  • I can't believe I almost forget. A librarian. I already wear specks. To this i will add a tailored white button down shirt, knee length skirt and stilettos. I will also meet an adventurous young man who visits the library but never reads a book. hmm.

Okay I’ve made it to 6 months, 10 days and 7 hours and 5 minutes.

How about a billboard hanger? How does one obtain that job? Does "wallpaper installer" have to exist on one's resume?

Thanks for the comment. I took your advice. It is but a small start, though.
