False Starts

You know what annoys me? Fucking ridiculous job titles. Food Service Operative. Beauty Technician. Stock Replenishment Agent. I mean, what the fuck? If you’re being paid minimum wage to be a shelf stacker, being called a stock replenishment agent is hardly going to boost your morale. It seems odd and ridiculous to me.

Me, I’m a customer adviser. Which is all fine and dandy, as far as I’m concerned. My job literally involves the advising of customers. Calling me a phonemonkey would also be acceptable.

    oh yes. “Refuse Collection Agent” (or whatever they call bin men these days). oh and my personal favourite “Premises Management Team” - this is what they now call the caretakers at my old school. The world is literally going mad.

    HAHAHAAAA. I cannot feel sorry for Mac at all. Besides, he looks quite handsome with that green and pink clashing together.

    A man is not a man until he can successfully pull off a truly pink and green combo. Especially when there are flowers to accompany such an ensemble. Incidentally, he borrowed the tie from Bernard. Other than his uniform, he always borrows ties from Bernard.

    Anna, I have never heard anything so ridiculous as the caretaking one. Fantastic. If anyone else knows of any other brilliantly stupid job titles, get ‘em sent in.

    Catering assistant, I assist the catering team. That fits.
    I love this.
