Fumigation station

Look what've been popping up around town. At first we thought it was a joke, but evidently not. If it were, the ad (in the interest of full disclosure) would surely say things like:

1. Develop skills like fiberglassing, engine repair, and tolerance to dangerous particulates and toxic chemicals.
2. Constant learning opportunities-- because our shop staff are constantly quitting.
3. Hard working, team orientated individuals a must because at Hoofers, it's all about I, and we need someone to do our work for us.
4. Experience with machinery, fibreglassing, finger amputation, and emergency room visits a plus but NOT NECESSARY!

I like how they emphasize "hard working individuals a must." Yeh, most managers are looking for lazy slobs. And that photo..! It almost seems as if they don't want any applicants, or they would have shown what maintenance staff actually do most of the time: sit in the cage playing videogames.

Ah, if only I didn't already have a job....

  1. A "fun and productive maintenance team?" Glad to hear they're going to try something new.

  2. You forgot to mention shop staff theft of club property.

  3. Hopefully, the "hiring committee" won't forget on their evaluation sheets rampant substance abuse, propensity to angry, violent outbursts, and political corruption.
