Shopping Revised

I no longer work in the supermarket
It's now a chore to go to shop.

But, like those who've worked in Stage or Screen
The blinders have been removed.

Now I see all the people who don't work for the store.
Yet toil, all day in a specific role.

The merchandisers, the vendors, the drivers.
The mechanics, the fixers, and the rest

All work in the same supermarket
Yet all have different bosses, to work for.

Mon. 29-Jan-07: Jobs, and me

Jobs, and me

I've been a pauper, a puppet, a candle maker,
A balloon decorator, computer doctor, paper pusher,
A Photographer, Web Site Designer, Coffee Geek/Barista

I've been employed by small companies, large companies, by myself, for myself, and for other contractors.

I think I discovered a new career
In a bakery. Amazing you say?
Well, supermarkets do bake stuff. Or do they?
Their own goods? Maybe we should say pretend to bake stuff.

Parbaking. Take it out of the freezer, and bake the last five minutes in your oven. Just as good as fresh..
