I’m a Prostitute!

My colleague sent this hilarious email to everyone in the office this morning:

The truth about working in PR

1. You work weird hours (long, long nights, weekends, public holidays)…
Just like prostitutes.

2. They pay you to make the client happy…
Just like a prostitute.

3. The client pays a lot of money, but your employer keeps almost every penny…
Just like a prostitute.

4. You are rewarded for fulfilling the client’s dreams…
Just like a prostitute.

5. Your friendships fall apart and you end up hanging out with people in the same profession as you…
Just like a prostitute.

6. When you have to meet the client you always have to be perfectly groomed…
Just like a prostitute.

7. But when you go back home it seems like you are coming back from hell…
Just like a prostitute.

8. The client always wants to pay less but expects incredible things from you…
Just like a prostitute.

9. When people ask you about your job, you have difficulties explaining it…
Just like a prostitute.

10. Everyday when you wake up, you say: “I’m not going to spend the rest of my life doing this.”
Just like a prostitute.

Well, the fact is that we do service our clients, and there’s this written on the office notice board:

Just today, I spent an ENTIRE morning talking to 2 clients, just to assure them that we are still very much in love with them…

And if you have heard all that bantering and coaxing that was going on, you would really think that I sounded like a prostitute!
