Description
Career Change"Welcome to 'Career Pathways', Mr. Kane. I think you will find our experienced staff will be exactly what you need in this troubled time. Downsizing can be difficult but..."
"I haven't been downsized."
"You haven't?"
"No. I haven't."
"Oh dear, your file must have been mislabeled. I normally handle unexpected career changes. I'm so sorry for the mistake. Should I send your file over to 'Executive Training'? They are starting the next round of their most popular course, 'How to Blackmail Your Way to a Better Life', tomorrow. I think they have an opening..."
"I want to change careers."
"Um, okay. Do you have anything particular in mind?"
"I want to be a zombie."
"What?"
"I want to be a zombie."
"Why do you want to be a zombie, Mr. Kane?"
"The lifestyle appeals to me."
"Zombies are dead, Mr. Kane. They don't do much other than decay and lurch."
"Exactly."
"If I may be so forward, what is your present career?"
"I'm an associate partner with 'Bigger, Badder, and Richer'."
"That sounds like a very prestigious position."
"It is, but the stress is getting to me. Everyday it's the same; rip off suckers then lunch then golf then drinks then collect on the rackets. Our clients all prefer night time meetings so I rarely get any sleep anymore. Somedays it's hard to keep up. I need a change."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Kane, but I don't think..."
"I can pay."
"...that will be a problem. We'll be glad to help you. Just let me make a few phone calls... Hello, Anne. Could you get me a Voodoo Priestess, a live chicken, and Mr. Frederick from accounting? Thanks. It's for a client this time..."
