Title: Caroline Attempts To Kill A Job
Author: eiremauve
Rating: PG
Warnings: None
Word Count: 136
Prompt: Necessary Evil, Come Again? and By Nature, Hold Nothing
A/N: Because landing a job is a necessary evil. :) Procrastination is also evil. EVIL! And a theft of quality. The jerk. 

I am at my desk, attempting to kill a job.
Writing down my name for the millionth time.
Why can’t they all just accept resumes?
Why must they all have their own form?
I’m flexible and friendly, and I ‘work well with others’-
the whole shebang.
I dress appropriately for interviews, I’m polite and serious.
I swear they even like me.
What else do they want from me?
They don’t even write back half the time!
‘Caroline Applegate’ I write again.
Then I pause.
What if a bit of humour is what is needed?
It’s worth a shot-I have nothing to lose-
And maybe this way they’ll remember me.
So I write ‘In addition to wishing to work with your company,
I would like a pony’.
I am at my desk, attempting to kill a job.

Amazing how they all insist upon having their own complicated form that you fill out and then send them off to be ignored? Nice work with the prompts and adding some humor into it too.
