Once Upon a Time, in a fractured reality, a princess answered an employment ad....

First she had an interview. Then the position was put on hold, interview off. After a couple of days to adjust to the disappointment, the job reopened as a temporary spot. Two days later the princess was asked to come out to see the place and talk.

...And suddenly the end of the day was here and the princess realized she had a job. A REAL job, albeit temporary, working for a company, punching a time clock and paying taxes to The Man.

The Princess wasn't entirely sure what what she thought about this new job thing but she thought it could be very interesting and a good change of pace. And it's good to change the pace every decade or so now and then, right?

So tomorrow morning the princess will hang her crown near the door as she carries her lunch, her Wacom and her newly signed time card off to The Art Department of Family Owned Company. The on, off, on nature of getting there has left the princess a little leery about the benefit of this opportunity but, always game for an adventure, she's planning to play on the team.

Princess Working Stiff heads to bed early and sighs thinking that life was easier when all a girl had to do was kiss the right frog and she could be set for life.
