Job search update

A few of the jobs I'm seeking after graduation.
  1. Something in Alaska. I've always wanted to know what Russia looked like.
  2. Person who hand out court papers. While I imagine they do other things, and have some kind of training, this job looks pretty appealing on television. I'll get to dress up in costumes and pop out of bushes and say "YOU GOT SERVED" which will be especially awesome if someone is suing a break dancer or tennis player. And this is America, so I'll never run out of work.
  3. Something I'm qualified for based on my particular degree. That, or get another degree, and just ride out this recession as a full time student.
  4. Grim Reaper and Meter Maid.
  5. Paper Salesman.
  6. New Zealand consulate employee.
  7. Head Writer on TGS with Tracy Jordan.
  8. Hotel Administration at Cornell University. I have experience at running nearly every aspect of a hotel. Taking room reservations, cleaning rooms, working in a hotel restaurant, chopping logs for the hotel fireplace, inventory while sitting next to a large California Condor, and getting real money out of the world's cheapest polygamist. I am ready to work at any hotel.
  9. Ghostwriter for a celebrity's Twitter account. Like Tony Shalhoub.
  10. Instead of looking for a job, I'll take a year to "go to Europe and find myself." I know it's a cliché, but I figure if I find myself, she might have a job idea. Or, if my vague knowledge of sci-fi is correct, the fabric of time would implode.

I like the twittering for celebs idea. I think my ideal job (other than screenwriter or getting paid to watch TV and blog about it) would be image consultant like Bruce Willis' character in The Kid.

Imagine getting paid to tell people what's wrong with them. Awesome!

"Like Tony Shalhoub." I don't know why that's so funny. This whole post is funny, even though I realize it may stem from serious frustration and anxiety.

Hey, I'm pretty sure they are endlessly expanding the roster of meter maids here in New York. I'm not joking. I imagine any unemployed person who can read and write could end their unemployment instantly here in the city. It's an effing racket, and I'm sure you can get in on it. I swear, since the recession, there's a damn meter maid behind every bush and object large enough to obscure a human being. I've never gotten so many tickets for things I'd never gotten tickets for before. And it's all legal! You're into laws and stuff. You could think of it as a temporary job and a sort of sociological study of rage at the same time.

Just an idea.

Oh, also, are you still watching Parks and Recreation? I thought the last episode was hilarious. She's awksome.

I like Parks and Recreation. She even has my bookshelf. I'm looking forward to the next season.
