The Job Search Begins

I am currently a less than proud member of the ever-growing ranks of the unemployed.

*insert unenthusiastic banner waving*

Ok, not technically completely unemployed because I did manage to get wrangled into the Vector/Cutco knives marketing pyramid type sales game which I am just good enough at to cover my gas and some of my food. However, (1) it is obviously not enough money to fully support myself on and (2) despite not being able to list a single complete and concrete reason for why it is, I simply am not happy with the job.

I really miss being excited and feeling like I was really a part of something.

On that note, I have been looking on Craigslist for job postings. Boy these are interesting times my friends... I mean, I've been known to browse the personal listings on Craigslist for a chuckle here and there (and ok, I won't lie and say I haven't hoped to stumble upon a handsome thoughtful poster who's just "looking for the right girl", but I'm genuinely usually on there for the comedic effect... mostly), but stumbling upon a listing for "Porn Salesman" had me questioning whether or not I was in the right section. And whether or not my personal knowledge of adult films was expansive enough to qualify for this position...

Oh, don't worry Sister Mary-Jean... I'm not going to apply. It's just a little difficult for a full time college student to find anything that offers enough pay and flexibility to support yourself. Especially when you've been spoiled with as many great jobs and opportunities as I've had (Cutco not included.)

To close... I found this video by Weird Al poking fun at Craigslist in the style of the Lizard King himself and simply had to share it =)
