work story. the leaflet’ er
So this time I have come home to a new career in leafleting in the CBD. Work starts 6.30am so I get up at five and have toast and coffee (after to going to bed at about 1am), and watch Americana tele-ads, there is a new way to roast pork using the suns energy, boy thats exciting, after the riveting infomercial I walk to the city.
The disturbing thing is its still dark, and watching the sun rise over the city, makes me turn to PJ harvey on my ipod. Despite this beauty I still like to point out to my boss that even god didn’t do anything that important until after light……….
Anyway, I am handing out leaflets, I see a sea of sad people going to work, not a single smile, I helps to reaffirm that job security is now a myth in most of the occident, and these people are more depressed than I am, even thought I probably earn a third of what they do.
As you can imagine, handing out leaflets, its really fucking boring, so for an experiment this morning, instead of yelling ‘$5 cash cow’ (don’t ask), I yelled, ‘$5 dollar vouchers for those who walk up these stairs with a smile’. Its funny how the 9-5ers need an excuse to smile, but they all did, smiled, and I handed out way over my targeted 1000 leaflets. (No lectures on the environment please unless you have paid me to be an artist this week, thanks)
Walking home at 9.30am I realized that my three hour shift had gone by really fast, and perhaps this morning I had fun. Fun at work????
In other news, my ‘Hobby’ has taken me to number 19 on the triple j unearthedcharts, which is too far from number one, go rate and review it please, I promise you all that if I get played on triple j again, I will make leaflets with smiles on them(on recycled paper) and hand them out in the morning instead of ‘cash cows’ (don’t ask)
