Colleen’s prompt words this week Fire and Rain are quite tricky… wonder how to approach this. I might as well confess what my new job is… I was a lingerie stylist at Rigby and Peller but unfortunately my maternity leave contract came to an end and that left me with no job. Sigh. Initially, it seemed the obvious choice to apply to other lingerie shops, as I had experience. I did get some interviews but no offers. So I decided to apply to Ann Summers… and got the job! I can tell you it’s the most unusual job I’ve ever had. I reckon it will give me a lot of writing material! Enough said. 🙂
So a bit of Tanka humour this week…

Why not! Just bear in mind some of it is pretty fifty shades… when I told my mum about the job she said she’s been! And we had a giggle about it.

Haha 😉 Love that you turned your work experience into a fun poem. I used to work at La Senza, which is a lingerie store in Canada. Interesting stories indeed!
