| November 30 2001 Friday As it was my last day on Work Experience at the travel agency I gave it a real go, just for a laugh. Selling holidays turned out to be dead easy. A couple walked in and within ten minutes I'd fixed them up with two weeks in a four star hotel, full board, in Crete, flying with Olympic Airways at the end of May. It wasn't a total success because what they'd came in for was two weeks in a three star hotel, half board, in Turkey, flying with Air 2000 at the beginning of September, but when I mentioned this to the boss and said that I hoped to do better next time, he told me not to be so silly, that I had done brilliant, and selling people holidays they don't really want is what the travel agency game is all about. And when I told him that I'd also sold them two lots of travel insurance, one lot for the holiday that I'd sold them, and another lot for a holiday they'd already booked with somebody else, he hugged me and offered me a permanent job when I leave school. I told him thank you all the same but I've more or less decided to become a con artist. He said I should do very well. Brain Damage's twin sister Brain Missing agreed to wear her knickers on her head for a week, provided that we gave her ten pounds for doing it - so her brain isn't completely missing! Anyway me, Brain Damage and Stinking managed to scrape together the ten pounds, and when she'd got it safely stuffed in her bra - a very safe place because you'd have to be really desperate for money to try to get inside Brain Missing's bra - she got one of her thongs and tied her ponytail in it. You couldn't tell it was her knickers at all, it looked just like a scruncher! We told her this was completely unacceptable, and that the idea of her wearing her knickers on her head was to let people see she was wearing her knickers on her head, but she just laughed and said 'Well tough titty'. I hope for her sake that she's got tough titties because Brain Damage is going to sandpaper them the next time she goes to sleep. |
