Sugar Coating with High Fructose Corn Syrup...

I ran across this job posting today for a bowling alley while I was job hunting for my consumers.

Who makes sure that our customers have a clean safe place to play? Our Lane Attendants are the key individuals that make the customer experience all that it can be! Whether they are cleaning the customer seating area, giving some advice about bowling, setting up for a corporate party, or cleaning up after a group that had the time of their lives, our Lane Attendants can make or break the visit. Do you have what it takes?

APPLY ONLINE TODAY!

If that's not the nicest, most appealing way to say, "Hey, you're going to clean up other people's shit all day" than post something better...Until then,

Steve Sykora presents his own (Insert drum roll here) "Real Men of Genius": Here's to you Mr. Creative Job Description Writer man. Because of you the unemployed feel like they can settle for a crap job all because you made it appealing. You stretch the limits of dullard writing to create something close to the next great American novel (A Dickens for America!!). You pour your soul into each word knowing that if you don't fill this spot with somebody else, it's going to be your ass in the bowling lanes (Oooo noo!). But until then, keep crafting o' wordsmith of the mediocre, and remember, without your goodwill, others would see the real job that they're applying for.

OK, "Easiest Fucking Job Ever Award" Goes to...


The Verizon Wireless guy.

"Ok, here's the gig: We're going to show people in dramatic situations. When the camera pans out, you're just going to stand there, awkwardly grin, and pretend that that giant crowd behind you actually likes you."

"Do I have to say 'Can you hear me now?'"

"No, not anymore. Just be awkward."

"Got it."
