Great Job Offer! Are you the perfect applicant?

JOB DESCRIPTION :

Long term, team players needed, for challenging,
permanent work in an often chaotic environment.

Candidates must possess excellent communication
and organizational skills and be willing to work variable
hours, which will include evenings, weekends and
frequent 24 hour shifts on call.
Some overnight travel required, including trips to
primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless
sports tournaments in far away cities!

Travel expenses not reimbursed
Extensive courier duties also required.

RESPONSIBILITIES :

The rest of your life.
Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily,
until someone needs £5.
Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly.
Also, must possess the physical stamina of a
pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in
three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from
the backyard are not someone just crying wolf.
Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges,
such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish
toilets and stuck zippers.
Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and
coordinate production of multiple homework projects.
Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings
for clients of all ages and mental outlooks.
Must be willing to be indispensable one minute,
an embarrassment the next.
Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half
million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices.
Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst.
Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality
of the end product.
Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and
janitorial work throughout the facility.

POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION :

None.
Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills,
so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE :

None required unfortunately.
On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.

WAGES AND COMPENSATION :

You pay them - offering frequent raises and bonuses!
A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the
assumption that college will help them become financially
independent.
When you die, you give them whatever is left.
The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that
you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.

BENEFITS :

While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no
tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock
options are offered, this job supplies limitless opportunities
for personal growth, unconditional love, and free hugs and
kisses for life if you play your cards right.

Had this job for over 30 years. Cost me a marriage, time with my two sons and later a heart attack.

Thanks but no thanks.

Maybe when I'm older... and more experienced, I'd be willing to give this job a shot.

Thank goodness a replacement is being considered!

I don't think you would work out very well, Spud. And what would Mrs. Spud say?

It only hurt once, from beginning to end.

Peace means having a bigger stick then the other guy.

Loosing may do little to your credibility, but quitting will destroy it.
