Doesn’t this job opp sound fun? And by fun, I mean solid justification for a drinking problem and fodder for that debut novel that becomes a movie that stars Scarlett Johansson?
Please, somebody apply, because I’m dying to know what multiple roles this woman plays (not that I don’t think she’s incredibly nice and, yes, very busy) and why she needs a photo of her applicants. Ugliness test?
Oh, hell, maybe I should just do it. With 90K I could afford therapy. And I need a follow-up to my book about the drug-addled lemon farmer and the car wash con artist—you don’t even want to know the hilarious schemes those two get into!

Wait .. . was this the job ad with the UES socialite wannabe who’s working on “writing projects”. (Meanwhile, the REAL writers are begging for this job.) Ouch.
Anyhoo, YUD, just wanted you to know that ANY jobs that list the salary as “K”, as in $60K – 90K” are EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES. In other words, there IS NO JOB. When you go in, they will act as if they are trying to find out what type of position will suit you perfectly and steer you away from this one. The ad is just a tool to get you in there.
I could be wrong, but in that case, I’ll buy whoever proves me wrong an ice-cream truck cone. Deal?
interesting theory, and you may indeed be right! either way, i would like an ice-cream truck cone. if only to hear that tinkling tune… pretty please?
