are you a consultant or a prostitute?

1.You work very odd hours.
2.You are paid a lot of money to keep your client happy.
3.You don't necessarily have to put out to be good at your job.
4.You develop a close relationship with your co-workers.
5.You spend a majority of your time in a hotel room.
6.You charge by the hour but your time can be extended.
7.You are not proud of what you do.
8.You wear out shoes quickly.
9.Creating fantasies for your clients is rewarded.
10.It's difficult to have a family.
11.The client can roll you off.
12.You have no job satisfaction.
13.You are embarrassed to tell people what you do for a living.
14.People ask you, "What do you do?" and you can't explain it.
15.Your client pays for your hotel room plus your hourly rate.
16.Your client always wants to know how much you charge and what they get for the money.
17.When you are with the client reality is unimportant. The important thing is how well you can draw
the client into the fantasy you are creating.
18.When you leave to go see a client, you look great, but return looking like hell (compare your
appearance on Monday AM to Friday PM).
19.You are rated on your "performance" in an excruciating ordeal.
20.Even though you get paid the big bucks, it's the client who walks away smiling.
21.The client always thinks your "cut" of your billing rate is higher than it actually is, and in turn,
expects miracles from you.
22.All of your colleagues profess to be the best, so you never really feel adequate

na, da hört sich aber einer sehr verzweifelt an! bist du schon bei den gringos? nur nicht unterkriegen lassen! war übrigens am wochenende in spanien, u.a. bei alex in barcelona - ganz liebe grüße von ihm!
im übrigen prostituieren wir uns ja alle irgendwie als sklaven und sklavinnen des kapitalismus, sei es als praktikantin oder consultant...
