Exercise Nine: Ten Reasons To Quit Your Job

11/11/2012

Today I'm going to write ten reasons characters would want to quit their jobs.

Fabio is a twenty-six year old hairdresser. Every second Tuesday he cuts forty-nine year old Mrs. Langham's hair. Whenever he leans over her to do her fringe, he hears her sniff him and inhale his scent deeply. Then she winks and raises her eyebrows. 

Clara is a nurse at the local rest home. This year she's had scabies twice, and last night her boyfriend said she smelled like old man wees. 

Dave is an English teacher at Gore High School. He's balding. He wants to have surgery to get hair back, but he knows the kids and staff at school will make fun of him. Dave would rather quit, regain his luscious locks, and find a new job.

Lucy doesn't want to be the lady who changes the bins in the toilets. Lucy wants to quit her job, leave her husband, finish her abandoned degree, then become an astronaut. And she will.

Christof is an accountant who has developed a phobia of the number seven.

Kiri is a tightrope walker with a travelling circus. To make sure the team are focussed at all time, her boss never tells them if the safety nets are actually tied on properly or not. She lost her friend Richard to the 'or not'.

Arnold works in the Weetbix factory. He's consumed by guilt about the time that he sneezed and snot flew into the vat of Weetbix mixture. His summer allergies are beginning and he's terrified it'll happen again.

Willy works in a CD store where his boss makes him write staff recommendations for Justin Bieber CDs.

Carly is a dietitian who hides her Big Mac boxes in a locked drawer in her office, but her intern is onto her. She wants to leave before she is caught.

Alexis has an office cubicle beside the bathroom where a tap drips all day. The boss won't do anything about it or let her move. She might hurt someone soon.

Ha..ha.. These ten reasons are quite funny! My favorite is Fabio, the hairdresser. Sometimes you have to adjust with awkward situations at work, like this. It is so pathetic. Even if some of them are funny, some others are elements of thought too!

I have been reading many articles on the same issue but found this one uniquely written. You covered almost every point over the topic. I don’t feel need to read any other article on this topic now.
