Charcoal and Chalk Sketch on Paper ... Illustration for a very short story; "Second Son The Eternal Intern"
Second Son The Eternal Intern
I was on the fast to management but before Dad would assigned me
to my permanent position, i had to interview and work as an intern in
many of the Company's departments and subsidiaries. The idea was
that i would learn the ropes from the bottom up so to speak, and have
an understanding how the Company functioned; the Org charts, the
protocols, the politics of it all.
And of course, who’s ass to kiss.
So i interned with the Angels for awhile and surprisingly, the stories about
them proved to be not true. They were really a fun group, they drank and
smoked a lot of weed. They used profanity and told dirty jokes, and they
really, I mean really... knew how to party. Another thing about them was the fact that they were all, very good dressers and quite stylish.
I thought the job of being an Angel would be fun and easy, working the
relationship between the material and the spiritual world… how hard
could that be. It should have been a snap. Well... It didn't take me long
to realize that i didn't have the right stuff, and it was more difficult to be
an Angel than I had ever thought.
The first lesson I learned on the job was how to be empathetic and detached at the same time, of course that was part of the job description I over looked.
I think the manual said it was a way of protecting oneself, because when it
comes right down to it, the job of an Angel is to eternally listen to everyone’s
personal crap and their constant whining and complaining. Well, let me tell you,
that can really take a toll on a guy. It didn't take long for me to flip out.
And the Angels, bless their souls, gathered me up and took me shopping
for some new clothes and then a night full of drinking, dancing and clubbing,
and before I knew it, i was ready to get back to work.
Because when Angels
party hard they work even harder. And of course never forget, we are extremely
good dressers and amazingly stylish.
