During her time in the paid job market, Ayun Halliday has managed to rack up a terrifying array of short-lived stints, including ersatz costume designer, belligerent artist's model, bain of professional secretaries everywhere (a.k.a. 'temp'), and Bert of Sesame Street for enthusiastic department-store crowds.

Clinging to her 'true' vocation—acting—by a hair, Halliday's diligent avoidance of hard work, regular paychecks, and anything remotely resembling a dress code, will warm the hearts of anyone who has ever served food that fell on the floor, suffered canned lunches in sterile break rooms, or been busted photocopying a resumé on the job. Honest and uproarious, Halliday is an unapologetic, loose-lipped icon for the slacker in us all.
