The Office – Ep3- HIRED or FIRED

Monday came in like a naked Miley Cyrus on a wrecking ball….it was strange!

My boss informed me yesterday that after 11 years and 1 month working in my current branch with the same colleagues for that whole time, that I’ll be moving to a new branch next month.  Naturally, my colleagues are devastated and have started a ‘SAVE ANG petition’ which already has 5 signatures. A whole 5!

I’m not one of those people who can’t cope with change (probably why I have been nominated), the reason for my 11 years service is purely contentment and laziness on my part.  However I must confess it is going to be pretty weird not working there.  If things don’t work out at my new branch I suppose I can always use it as the push I need to find a new career…

Guys I haven’t had a job interview or typed a CV for over a decade. What?! I wouldn’t even know where to start….

PROFILE

I was born to be a lady of leisure, spending my days brunching and sipping mimosas on a yacht in the French Riviera, unfortunately my bank balance does not fund the lifestyle I was destined for, sadly this forces me to endure the daily grind.  I am looking for a position that will compliment the lifestyle I am cruelly missing out on with minimum workload and maximum salary.  I would bring a sparkle of joy to your company by boosting staff morale with my strange sense of humour, clumsiness and and impeccably bad time keeping. I feel every workplace would benefit from having a token short person… me!  I also promise to bring cakes in every Friday!!

I love to learn and continually further my education daily with the help of Google Search Engine.  I have also taken additional classes whilst working full time including cocktail making, pole-dancing, boxing, make-up application, yoga and conversational French language… Un verre de vin blanc, s’il vous plait.

INTERESTS

An avid collector hoarder of shoes and apparently also of clothes that no longer fit.   Regularly (but not very recently) found in the gym in an effort to balance out chocolate, cheese and champagne addictions.  Keen photographer… when full of Hendricks Gin or Snapchat add new filters.  Fond of music, a love for attending gigs, festivals and daily participating in car kareoke.  Loyal and veteran member of large international youth organisation- The Bey Hive.  In my free time I enjoy Netflix and chill watching movies in my pyjamas or ‘lounge wear’, being little spoon and eating sugar loaded snacks.  I have a particularly expensive taste in alcoholic beverages my favourite being a good Pornstar Martini followed very closely by a Classic Mojito, both even more enjoyable when being sipped on the beach or on a rooftop terrace near the Mediterranean.   I thrive when entertaining guests making babies and children laugh at me till their little bellies hurt.
