Seriously though! Are you?

Not too long ago, a woman starting working in our building (for a separate company). As we own the building, it's my colleague's job to give everyone that works there a building induction. When I explained to him which organisation said woman worked for he remarked, "What? Them? She is far too attractive to work there!".

This got me thinking.

Yes I know it's probably best to ignore comments like these and beauty is in the eye of the beholder blah blah blah. But! All that aside, is it actually possible to be too attractive for your job?

I have to admit, it would be quite nice if someone out there thought I was far too tasty to be an accountant.

"What? Shamiso? She is far too sexy to file a tax return!".

I say this, knowing that it is widely accepted that accountancy is one of the steamiest professions in the world and attracts only the most alluring people. I’ve known adults to lose themselves when meeting members of my profession. Some have been known to experience sharp stabbing pains in their knee caps, which is usually the first sign of arousal. And let me tell you, I reckon I have hurt a lot of knee caps!

*pig snort*

But I am more interested in knowing what you think…of yourself. Are you too damn hot to be doing your job?

You may never have considered it before but do so! Tomorrow, or whenever you are next at work, stop! Take a minute. Look around you! Ask yourself – am I too attractive for this? If the answer is yes, what does that mean for your life? That could change everything!  It’s like Neo in The Matrix finally realising his power!

Suddenly that spreadsheet your boss wants you to look seems utterly meaningless and a waste of your sexy energy. So you don’t bother. When your boss or colleagues start chasing you for work, you simply look them square in the eye, point at yourself with both thumbs (from now on you point at everything with both thumbs. Pointing using other fingers is what ugly people do) and say, “have you seen me lately? Have you seen this?” And then you spin around on the spot and thumb point at all your surroundings and declare loudly, “I am too sexy for this shit!!” No doubt your colleagues will nod their heads and understand. This is just what sexy people do.

If, perchance, you have decided you are not too attractive for your job, then I have to break it to you…you are in the wrong job!
