RAISE YOUR STANDARDS

RAISE YOUR STANDARDS

The first real fight I had with my boyfriend was over the word “proud.” I needed a job — ideally a creative position that didn’t involve working for a complete douchebag. After a month of job-searching, I became desperate and applied to a “Hairstylist Salon Receptionist” position on craigslist. I romanticized the job. I thought [...]

JAMIE, ASSISTANT MANAGER

JAMIE, ASSISTANT MANAGER

My name is Jamie and I’m the Assistant Manager at Denny’s on Sunset Boulevard inLos Angeles. That’s cool, right? I never thought I’d work on Sunset Boulevard. I got the job through Craigslist. I thought, “Why not? Why couldn’t I be the Assistant Manager?” I didn’t feel like I needed to work my way up. [...]

MY PERFECT JOB

MY PERFECT JOB

I make fun of Craigslist ads often on this blog. Why? Because they are really f’in annoying. Craigslist, like Starbucks, gives people a platform to be completely fucking crazy. Now that the economy sucks and unemployment is paramount, the power is with the employers. They can demand an android with a Master’s degree who “pays [...]

HOW TO LOVE A MAN

HOW TO LOVE A MAN

I can’t sleep tonight. It’s 1:51 am and I’m very tired, but wide awake. I’m sitting on my bed; laptop overheating on the sheets in front me. I tried downloading a movie on iTunes, but it took an hour and I don’t care about it anymore. I’m drinking something and thinking. A glass of wine [...]

CRAIGSLIST JOB FROM HELL #583 “PERSONAL ASST./INTERN NEEDED FOR ACTRESS”

CRAIGSLIST JOB FROM HELL #583 “PERSONAL ASST./INTERN NEEDED FOR ACTRESS”

It is becoming way too easy to find shitty jobs on Craigslist. I realize they are not asking people to shovel manure or feces. I know it’s not that bad, but given the economy and standard of living, it’s kinda’ hard to subsist on $12 an hour with a Masters Degree. Y’know? Let’s take a [...]

CRAIGSLIST ADS DRIVE ME TO INSANITY

CRAIGSLIST ADS DRIVE ME TO INSANITY

I’m having one of those days where EVERYTHING pisses me off: The people in Los Angeles, plastic surgery ads on the radio and fucking Craigslist. Craigslist has given assholes a forum to post their fucked up shit. What am I talking about? I’m talking ads for apartments, jobs, etc. where people demand a lot of [...]

A HUGE TURN OF EVENTS: I’M GOING TO FRANCE AND I’M GOING TO POSE NAKED WITH CROISSANTS!!!

I have not written for the past two weeks. Why? I got a job. I know, crazy thing to have a job in Los Angeles. I was making fun of insane Craigslist ads on this blog, and then I got an awesome job off of Craigslist. Not a crazy one. A crazy good one. I [...]

DEPRESSING CRAIGSLIST AD OF THE WEEK!

DEPRESSING CRAIGSLIST AD OF THE WEEK!

Today’s Craigslist ad is less depressing, but more annoying than last week’s, “COMEDY WRITER FOR STAND UP.” Let’s look at today’s bullshit (parenthetical comments by me): EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT We are looking for the most AMAZING Executive Level Assistant to join our team! (This job has to suck.) Looking for someone who is a versatile self-starter capable [...]

CRAIGSLIST JOBS ARE DEPRESSING

CRAIGSLIST JOBS ARE DEPRESSING

I think I need to make this a weekly column: The most abusive, humiliating and depressing Craigslist ads for jobs. Now that the economy sucks, there are tons of people who want A LOT OF SHIT for NOTHING. I usually don’t make commentary like this, but things are getting ridiculous. There are tons of companies [...]
