As part of my job, I often find myself standing in front of a roomful of people, most of whom I respect and am sincerely very fond of, and having to lie to them. “What I’m about to teach you has value!” I’ll crow. “This new software enhancement will make your job EASIER!” I’ll proclaim.
I’m a bad actress, and I have to squeeze these mammoth lies out of my throat and not show one warble of doubt or insincerity. I’m surprised that I don’t break out in flop-sweat more often.
I used to tease that I worked my way through nursing school as a stripper - men would pay me to put my clothes back ON! Har-dee-har har.
But now it appears I make a somewhat decent living being a whore, despite my looks.
I’ve come a long way, baby!

Woot woot! Haha, hilarious. I feel this way too, when I try to make angry customers happy by giving them whatever they want.
