Snowflake is doing a lot of overtime, patrolling for Trust in Toff. He says that even though he has scheduled time off, it is hard to take it, because theft can happen 24/7 and he thinks management will blame him if something goes wrong. So, he asked for a second patrol dog and amazingly, management agreed!
Loba read the advert: Experienced patrol dog needed for shift work around dog properties. Excellent remuneration and benefits.
“Hmm,” she said, “maybe I should apply, ” I am very experienced from my time in Zorro’s Zecurity and I am getting a little bored at home.”
Zorro looked disturbed and suggested she should spend more time cleaning the doghouse and massage his bad back, but Loba went to the interview anyway.
She came back slightly crushed. “How did it go?” I asked. “Well,” she said, “they totally ignored my experience but asked for my education and pedigree. Then they were very polite and said I was not the right profile, but I could come back and apply again if I complete 99 years of higher education in security overviews with a minor in Oak Cultivation.”
I assume they mean dog years?
I heard later that Trust in Toff never found a second patrol dog and that the recruiters complained heavily about the current shortage of workers.
