Jesse's Dream Job

“Please don’t apologize for complementing me. It’s nice when a young man tells me he thinks I’m attractive…or at least impressive.”

Jesse let out a huge mental sigh of relief. At least it didn’t look like he was going to get kicked out before he got to complete the interview.

“So tell me Mr….”

“Just Jesse please Ms. Angel”

“OK. Jesse, please tell me how much you know about my company.”

“I Googled the name TransArt but I’m afraid all that came up was a movie company. From your on line job posting I couldn’t tell if that was your company or not.”

“Did you read up on the company that did come up on the internet?”

“Yes. They make movies that involve Transgendered subjects.”

“Well that is my company. We make movies both for education and entertainment.”

“Oh. I guess that I should have read more.”

Ms. Angel laughed and asked,

“Why? Would knowing what we do have kept you from interviewing with me?”

“No, but it would be nice to have been better informed.”

“I see. Tell me Jesse, are you open minded? Can you step outside of the stereo types imposed by society if it means a good job at an obscene wage?”

“I’m fairly open minded and stereo types don’t concern me, but I’m not sure I know what an obscene wage is.”

Ms. Angel circled something on the page she’d been writing on, turned it around and pushed it across her desk to Jesse. When he looked down at the page what was circled was a very large number with six figures in it and no decimals. Wow.

“Oh! That’s what an obscene wage is!” He took a moment to read the page which said,

I the undersigned agree to be on call as needed up to 24/7 and willing to perform any and all functions and tasks as requested of me by Ms. Angel or other persons in the employ of TransArt for the duration of the next year.
