Jobs that Matter


Joe

Exciting news

Hazel

I have been hired

As an intimacy coordinator on the remake

Of Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom

Have you seen the movie

Yes it was Josie’s first date movie

Did she like it

She still talks about it

What do you remember about it

We are saying it a great deal

Shhh

Why are you ruining this fiction Joe

I am not ruining this fiction Norm

I was just saying that Josie understood the movie

Better than any of us and she thought it was shit

Funny Boy Joe

Be normal Norman

Sorry Aphra

I was telling Joe about my new job

Do you realise that you will be worked to death

Like a nigger on a plantation

Really

Yes seriously

Was there a lot of sex scenes in the original movie

Yes

Was it an erotic movie

If you consider fascism erotic then yes

Did you think that it was a nasty movie

If you made a musical about a death camp

Would it be musical or funny or both

It would be musical I suppose

Ask your brother Bill Anne about the movie

I liked it but it was unlikable

Do you think that I should accept the job

That is up to you

Thoughts Joe

I can think of only one job more pointless

Than a intimacy coordinator

That being

An Equality Diversity and Inclusion Manager

Working for a large company

I agree as part of my training at Hall Howard

Was to chat to a Crip Barbie

What is a Crip Barbie

A Barbie in a Wheelchair

They are popular with children

That is a contradiction

Explain

I think that Barbie is very beautiful

A typical WASP blonde

A question

How many Barbie’s do you see in wheelchairs

None

Normally people in wheelchairs are droopy and aggressive

And resemble American Soul Singers
