10 % of Nothing

 

I have a great agent.  She doesn’t pester me, makes no demands of me and has never pushed me to write about a subject that I don’t care to write about.  I am completely free to be myself.  Writers without borders.

I sit in a smoke-free environment, am allowed to have personal items on my desk and should my mind wander off for hours at a time, they don’t doc my pay.  No resume was needed to get this position and I never had to interview.

Over the years I have stockpiled a massive amount of inventory.  Without fail, 100% of past bosses have given me enough to write about to last a lifetime.  Of course, it is always my intent to do it without being mean or snarky.  Keep in mind, sometimes I fail.

I can recommend this job to anyone with a desire to blabber on and on about nothing that matters.   There lives a modicum of fun within a well-crafted sentence, especially if you can give a boss a zinger without them realizing it.   That, to me, is a hoot.  It’s not mean-spirited if they’re oblivious, and many are.

Oops, maybe that was a little snarky.
