My Future Job Options

Janet Kuypers
08/28/09

okay, so I can’t hold a job in my own profession
& I can’t even get a job in the mall

not having an income really pisses me off

I want to yell at the world
for not giving me the job I’m owed

I mean, I get to the point
where I want to hit things

& that’s when it occurred to me:
the frightening thing was telling my husband
that I’m meant to be a dominatrix

when my analytical side dominates me
I see how it makes perfect sense:
no sex, no nudity
just make men feel like shit at an hourly rate

this is really beginning to appeal to me

but after my husband has been adequately frightened
he checked on line
and told me that this was illegal
(is he telling me that
because he doesn’t want me to do it?)
but I want it to be legal
I want to say that I legally degrade men for a living
(and make good money at it, actually)

I guess it figures
I found another profession I’m good at
& I still can’t get a job
