Yesterday, I read an email and said, "Bollocks." Possibly that is not the usual response to getting a job interview. And yet. [It is part-time shelving assistant, and I ticked yes on the disability question so I'm going to go in and be honest about the part where people scare me but I can totally work. Whatever.]

Before that, I was looking at jobs and things, and there was an ad for "sexy cleaners, all sizes". Apparently they make really good money. I'm almost considering it.

So do people phone up and ask for a medium sexy cleaner?

You could clearly shelve books. Nothing about your brain makes any difference to that and if they think it does they are evil. I think explaining clearly and calmly is quite good in that if you can portray it as not a problem that tends to carry over.

I don't know! [and I forgot to mention the main reason against it, which is the fear of turning up and finding out the guy was, like, my uncle.]

And yes, this is exactly my thinking.

This is why employment in anything remotely approaching the sex industry should be done far from home. What the neighbours might say has nothing on fun family-based psychological scarring.

I would totally employ you to shelve my books, but I am obviously biased. Although you would have to devise a cataloguing system for mine and magically fit them into too little space, so a mere library is a piece of piss in comparison.

It's slightly less disturbing than asking for a cleaner sexy medium. But only slightly.

In that case might it not be easier to order a medium sexy cleaner to clean the original sexy medium?

You'd probably want a sexy medium cleaner. The frightening thing is, I wondered whether I'd pay to see that ;o)

Wait, are we talking about spiritualists, here?

I believe so. But whether there's any sense remaining in the conversation is debatable.

It could be a medium like in art, or mass media.

But sense is entirely optional.

Good luck with the shelving job, I think "bollocks" would be my honest response to getting an interview too.
Sexy cleaners of all sizes? is being sexually harassed on the job description?

Interviews are scary!

The advert said in big letters: "No sex is involved. This is just for fun." But, uh, yeah, I'd expect harassment happens a lot.
