Why work in an Office when you can do this??



...Because you can NEVER have too many pictures of people in Banana suits

When you're unemployed, strange things happen to your brain. Forget grand dreams of being a ballerina, or an astronaut, you get to the point where you're so desperate that you will take anything. Between me and some of my unemployed friends, we have found the following jobs:

  • Painting people's houses dressed in a "Revealing, yet non-erotic costume".
  • Volunteering to be part of medicinal trials because, oh I don't know, you'd really like a third eyeball.
  • Dressing up in pink and lime green spandex and standing on stilts in the Leeds town centre handing out brochures for new nightclubs.
  • Being a female wrestler, albeit one who is comfortable wrestling in a bikini.
  • Being a "Lice Assassin" and go around to Primary School curing children and their families of the problem that is Head Lice.
  • Being a model for an acupuncture training video and be (Again, direct quote) "Immortalised in the acupuncture world."

Hmm, that banana suit job is starting to look pretty good.
