17. You must have an understanding that the small people you have a strong relationship with during the week, may utterly refuse to acknowledge you at the store. Your feelings must not easily be hurt.
18. You must have the ability to read a 10 page fairytale with at least one interruption per page.
19. Showing a curiosity and interest in creepy crawlies is essential, even if they are your biggest fear.
20. You must be prepared for a lot of fun in the workplace. Laughter is something you can expect to engage in for a large part of your working day.
