Explaining My Job at Medium to a Friend
Friend: “So, they told me you’ve finally found a job in a magazine. In the paranormal, it seems.”
Me: “Medium, but it has nothing to do with paranormal. Well, not exactly a job. And not exactly a magazine, for now.”
Friend: “Do you like it?”
Me: “Ups and downs. But it’s addicting.”
Friend: “Good! Late hours?”
Me: “Yes, definitely.”
Friend: “Mmmh… Does it leave you spare time?”
Me: “Yes, but I work for them in that too.”
Friend: “So, what do you do there?”
Me: “I mostly check notifications. But usually, there are none.”
Friend: “So you can do other things in the while?”
Me: “No, I’m too distracted.”
Friend: “Is it far?”
Me: “Few feet from my bed. In fact, I’m selling the car. But I would have to sell it anyway.”
Friend: “How did you get the job?”
Me: “Six months unpaid.”
Friend: “But now the wage is good?”
Me: “Now I pay them $5 per month.”
