Shoes size? You are T.E.R.R.I.B.L.E.! Too funny!

Cece said...

No pending kids is my absolute fav!! Too bad Britney didn't include that one.

This is HILARIOUS. Maybe I should've used this when I was seeking a candidate.

I'm so glad you stressed the pending kids thing b/c guys will conveniently leave that out only to say, "well I didn't have any at the time" once the child is born!

Definitely has a tinge of gold-diggerishness to it, but I've always known you to be a shallow, self-absorbed, high-maintenance (kinda) and opportunistic shop-a-holic so at least you're keeping it real!

This was a nice, light post. A good transition from your last heavy-handed dose of ideas!

You made me *snort* at work. Most uncool, chick.

Ha!

The Stiltwalker said...

Other than the height and shoe size thing I meet all your requirements. When's the interview?

jali said...

The Knicks remark was a low blow. Really low.


Besides that: Brilliant!

Add No Yankee fans..and this could be dangerously close to being a carbon copy of my "resume."

Love it!

1. You said nothing about you being the only person an applicant can be applying to. Thanks.

2. I don’t see any benefits for the winning *scratch that*, accepted candidate.

3. Can I submit the resumes of my friends and get some kind of finders fee?

4. Please see #2.

You know, I had something similar. But I just kept setting up interview after interview. Round after round. Now that I think about it, I really didn’t wanna fill that position.

*picks up new stack of applicants and smiles*

Citygirl said...

OMG girl! Where are you going to find a straight man that can decode "I'm fine" AND watch the soaps with you.

I think you may have to engineer him yourself!

Elizabeth Krecker said...

OMG, shoe size!! (I had to cross my legs when I read that line!)

I've been in another world and haven't had time to read or comment on blogs. So I was so happy when I opened you up and rea this clever essay. Very creative. As usual!
