Three Jobs I’d Do? V2.0 – comes to something when you realise you actually answered this a while back, doh! Viz;- (Three alternative jobs)… in hindsight I think I’d prefer my first answer. Thus swapping author and artists for Food critic and sex cult leader. Ahem.
The proprietor of a curiosity shop, it would sell old grimoires and antiquarian books of mystery and occultism, they’d be cursed dolls and dybbuk boxes, haunted clocks and maleficent artefacts. I would in fact call it “Temptations Limited”~ After the shop that featured in the great horror flick – Tales from beyond the grave. In fact, when I semi-retire, I will actually create a pop-up shop to sell all my stuff and travel the world.
Author. Anyone can write obviously, but I would actually be on a payroll, a set wage, and more importantly with no deadline or pressure to write. The company would allocate me a desolate house in the middle of nowhere in which to pen my visions. Mont Blanc Pens would be supplied as is de rigueur.
Artist. Again alike an author, I would be supplied with an artstudio on which to create, if I can be bothered, my doodling’s, tangled mess of warped visions.
My C.V. is my website, I am available to be prostituted into such or similar avenues as indicated and though I am not a slave to Mammon and the lure of filthy lucre, neither am I slave to be exploited.
I trust you, the someone with adequate resources to fund my pursuits, will consider my C.V. and requests accordingly and await your proposal at your earliest convenience.
