Number 3: The Rubber Duck
Exhibits Exemplary
Behavior
– No
Bail Needed!
Then
newly incarcerated Rubber Duck began to think about
re-employment
opportunities now that raising monies for bail is a non-issue.
In a
remarkable turn of events, The Rubber Duck bonded on Friday night with an
unforeseen ally. She used to visit the
Greensburg State Prison and instructed incarcerated ones with the program
called, “Project Reconnect”. This
program enables those inmates with little time left to serve to get counseling
on how to reconnect with employers once out of prison.
Since
incarceration, The Rubber Duck has been a model inmate in the waters at
Pittsburgh’s Point State Park. Due to 24 hour security and surveillance we
don’t expect The Rubber Duck to swim away anytime soon to nearby Rivers
Casino. Guards are currently documenting
daily behavior in the prison log. Besides lacking proper ID to document its age
for entry, The Rubber Duck cannot fit through the door since it is 40 feet
high.
One
dark spot against this usually pristine bird is that The Rubber Duck will not
release its legal name or social security number and that the Rubber Duck
did not obtain proper documentation to navigate through the Ohio
River to Pittsburgh.
It is
thought at this point that it should have obtained an International Visa. The
Judge in the case gave The Rubber Duck leeway for instinctively following Daddy
to the International Art Show in Pittsburgh. At this point in time, its father,
Florentijn Hofman is not fully cooperating with authorities; however he did say
that The Rubber Duck was born in Pittsburgh. No name or social security has
been disclosed by him.
Counselor
Hand noted The Rubber Duck’s otherwise squeaky clean background and cheerful
demeanor and told the Judge, “Whenever people come in contact with it, they
start singing and quacking." Notable too is that her first pet as a
child was a young fluffy yellow duck. This led to the immediate
bonding of The Rubber Duck and Counselor Hand.
The
counselor is poised to fill out the on-line documents for unemployment and
plans to act as a mouthpiece if needed for questioning by the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; State Unemployment Compensation System (SCSC).
Lastly,
Counselor Hand is working closely with the Three Rivers Workforce Investment
Board known as TRWIB for leads about contacting local employers with potential
job opportunities for The Rubber Duck upon release from incarceration October
20, 2013.
To
date, no employers have stepped forward with job offers. We have opened the discussion to the public
for ideas about possible future employment.
