When Day Jobs Attack!
I simply must share this:
I work in a very respectable 9-5 job that I've been in for over two years now. I never discuss my performing life with my coworkers, preferring to keep the two totally seperate. However, because my supervisor is a bit nosy she's found out quite a lot and never seems to make trouble for me, so I don't mind. Apparently tho, rumours have filtered through because the very elderly granddame of the whole operation. A very stately 90 something English women that I'm very fond of, has just sidled up to me, stared at me fixedly over the course of a couple minutes and then said, with great gravity:
"my dear... you aren't a lap dancer are you?"
to which i blushed completely crimson and replied in the negative
"but... you don't lead... an unsavoury lifestyle... do you?"
Omg! The only thing I could trust myself to say was that I did it quite a lot of the time for fundraisers and charity events and that I hadn't done anything that I wouldn't have been happy to invite her to. It's true, I don't think of burlesque or fire dancing as unsavoury in the least, and it's a lot tamer and more fun than what goes on during daytime tv these days.
Has anyone else experianced a clash of day job and night job? I'm absolutely gobsmacked over this but I think it's too funny not to share with y'all!
