Next Week Pop A Beaver In Your Pocket

Hello. Just a reminder that next week it’s National Take A Rodent To Work Week. This is an opportunity to introduce our small furry friends to the world of gainful employment, whether full- or part-time. And, if you’re one of the millions of our country’s workshy, the unemployed can take their mammals to sign on or to accompany them to the pub and to get drunk in the park. And our retired citizens can take mice, gerbils, rats, beavers etc along to play bingo or to buy a lottery ticket whilst complaining about the price of milk to the newsagent. Stupid as it may seem, rodents are currently banned from hospitals and doctors surgeries, but let’s face it they are so small you could try sneaking yours in.

“But I haven’t got a small burrowing-animal to offer work-experience to” I hear you non-rodent owners cry! Fear not, you can “test-drive” one as the local pet shop are hiring them out. Hire is for a minimum of five days, prices vary depending on the size of rodent, but a deposit of £250 per animal is required first.
And wonderful news; local employers offering internships to these creatures have agreed to supply complimentary tiny treats and bedding material. So what are you waiting for, now man’s tiny best friends can be useful at work. Ruth Freshford. Manager. JobCentrePlus
