dream job
Life
Excellent! I was just spammed with an offer for what appears to be my dream job:
> We are looking for hard working, dedicated people with the drive > and discipline needed to work from home in their home office. We need > people that have time to spend on eBay daily. Our representatives have > the opportunity to set their hours and, essentially, set their own > incomes. Our job is a flextime, flex-place opportunity designed to fit > around your family's income and time needs. > > NO INVENTORY, START IMMEDIATELY, GUARANTEED SATISFACTION. > > If you don't have experience - we will train. > > To qualify, you MUST: > > 1. Be at least 16. > 2. Be able to repeatedly lift 5-20 pound boxes. > 3. Check your email several times a day (each hour if possible). > 4. You need to respond immediately to emails. > 5. Be responsible, hard working and communicable. > 6. Be able to answer phone calls.
I think I meet all said requirements, except maybe (4), oh and perhaps (6), and err, part of (5). Oh well.

Dont worry you'll be able to negotiate those points when the new IR laws come into effect.

What, you're not communicable?

I also call bullshit on (2). No self-respecting nerd can take that much physical activity.

with the amount of gin and tonics i've seen mike put away over the years, i suspect he stopped being communicable a loooong time ago.

Yes, laugh it up laughing-boys, but when I am earning big bucks on flex time at home, we'll see who is laughing then.

You must be communicable? Makes it sound as though you have to be in the throes of some kind of disease and prepared to pass it on.
Do you have the contact details for these people?

Maybe, but do you want to apply for the job or abuse them for spamming?
If the latter, I might still have it. ;)

You just don't want to supply the contact details because suddenly your competition for the job will have increased. You don't really care about spam.

Yeh, Mike - you've always been envious of my superior ability to answer a telephone.

While you may be an ace on the handset, I am pretty sure I can out-gun you on the Check Mail button.
There is only one way to settle this: lifting 5-20 pound boxes at dawn.

5-20 pounds boxes... of MONEY!
Posted by: Joel on October 14, 2005 06:54 PM
I nearly fainted after lifting a box the other day (I'm sure it wasn't even within a touch of 20 pounds). Blamed it on pneumonia, but then thought I'd probably have struggled with it pre-pneumonia.
Am I coming across like an elderly woman?
Posted by: Adrian on October 15, 2005 05:14 AM
No. You missed a perfectly good opportunity, circa "pneumonia", to tell us all about all the other things that are going wrong with you lately, and how they're not quite so bad compared to when you had them last time, but then that nice young doctor, what was his name...?
Then you tied an onion to your belt.
