updating my resume

I hail a taxi
heading into town
for a job interview.
i'm qualified for nothing,
but I have a nice suit on,
a hair cut
and a winning smile.
I have zero IT skills.
there must be some job
out there
that fits my lack of talent,
my inability
to stop looking at the clock
on the wall,
or loitering
at the water cooler
and coffee pot
in the lounge.
i'm good at chit chat.
of talking up the staff.
what they did last weekend,
what their
vacations plans are.
i'm easy to get along with.
at lunch, or at happy
hour I hit my stride.
i'm excellent
at the office volley ball
games on Wednesday,
the birthday parties
each month i'm always available
to help set up
the room.
I can hand out cake
with the best of them.
