From Who to Zoo

[i_kender]

This temping malarky is very odd. One day you're getting chocolates and a Thank You card, and everyone loves you. The next thing you know you've been out of work for two weeks and you're broke, and the agencies are referring to you as "Who?".

Anyway I have now found another job for next week, or possibly just part of the week. At London Zoo. And if this turns out to be the anecdote I relate in future years as "The Time an Elephant Shat on My Head" I shall not be amused.

It could be a facial, like a mud mask?

Hee!

Not even a facial but a whole body make over... replete with.... straw... and whatever else elephants eat... and you could dry in the summer sun and then hundreds of small but perfectly formed well muscled men could come along and crack you open and you'd be rejuvenated. or regurgitated... or - yukked up or something.

:o)

I'm sure we could convince someone to pay us loads of money for such a procedure. Quick! Call Paris Hilton's rep!

Yeah, at least when you get shat on in an office it's normally metaphorical.
