A grave situation, you could say!

You could lose this position by sleeping on the job or lying but it's ideal for resting actors.

Too true Phoenix, the place is like a ghost-town.

KatyK Mon 05-May-14 10:44:03

You are all dead right.

Anne58 Mon 05-May-14 10:41:37

You should have known*Mini*, after all they do run the whole business with a skeleton staff.

MiniMouse Mon 05-May-14 10:29:07

Should have read the contract better. It said inter not intern!

JoyBloggs Mon 05-May-14 08:49:08

No chance of making a living in this job...

I don't think much of the promotion prospects, I mean how can you climb the corporate ladder when there's not going to be any movement at the top??

annodomini Sun 04-May-14 08:09:16

Or possibly the boss from hell?

A truly heavenly job... at last!

Anyone see Radio Times? - Billy Connolly is to do a series about death, looking into different practices around it. Apparently it is going to be full of humour (surprise, surprise). It seems that one funeral director had, amongst his accoutrements for preparing a corpse for viewing, a bottle of shampoo for "dull lifeless hair" - oh dear.

Not a ghost of a chance of getting sacked

The ultimate boss

These are killing me.

Charleygirl Sat 03-May-14 13:08:39

Long holidays but nowhere to go

It's a dying trade...

annodomini Sat 03-May-14 10:31:03

Not much hope of promotion though.

rosesarered Sat 03-May-14 09:48:22

A quiet disposition and very black humour are essential for this job.

JoyBloggs Sat 03-May-14 09:33:51

Bit of a dead-end job...

rosesarered Fri 02-May-14 20:05:23

Good bonus every Spring! You help things to grow.

KatyK Fri 02-May-14 13:59:55

People would die for that occupation!

Anne58 Fri 02-May-14 13:43:09

The ultimate internship?

AlieOxon Fri 02-May-14 13:18:01

Zero hours contract, of course...

rosesarered Fri 02-May-14 13:05:49

But at least you have a roof over your head grin
