JOB DESCRIPTION
FOR MUMS:
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 and 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 faraway
cities.
Travel expenses not reimbursed.
Extensive courier duties also required.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Must provide on-the-site training in basic life skills, such as nose
blowing.
Must have strong skills in negotiating, conflict resolution and crisis
management.
Ability to suture flesh wounds a plus.
Must be able to think out of the box but not lose track of the box,
because you most likely will need it for a school project.
Must reconcile petty cash disbursements and be proficient in managing
budgets and resources fairly, unless you want to hear, "He got more than
me!"
for the rest of your life.
Also, must be able to drive motor vehicles safely under loud and adverse
conditions while simultaneously practicing above mentioned skills in
conflict resolution.
Must be able to choose your battles and stick to your guns.
Must be able to withstand criticism, such as "You don't know anything."
Must be willing to be hated at least temporarily, until someone needs $5
to go skating.
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.
Also, must have a highly energetic entrepreneurial spirit, because
fund-raiser will be your middle name.
Must have a diverse knowledge base, so as to answer questions such as
"What makes the wind move?"
or "Why can't they just go in and shoot Sadam Hussein?"
on the fly.
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 AND PROMOTION:
Virtually 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, job
supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth and free hugs for
life if you play your cards right.

THE
HONEYMOON PERIOD
Before
she moves in She wears teddies and suspenders, and you hold your farts
in until she leaves the room; she's a gorgeous
sex kitten and you tell her so: you're so sweet and adorable, and
headjobs follow ambient dinners like a fine grandfather port.
After she moves in She farts in her grungy trackie bottoms while
hypnotised by Coronation Street. You scratch your nuts unashamedly and
bitch about work. Oral sex is strictly quid pro quo and the new girl in
the office really does have a great arse. When apathy replaces ardour,
living together becomes cohabitation; and your gorgeous sex kitten
becomes "her indoors".
Six
key indicators of when the honeymoon period has finished.
1
Addictions
Before:
You tell her you don't mind the occasional cold beer
on a hot day with your friends, and that you've taken recreational drugs
under peer group pressure, but that those days are well and truly over.
After:
For the fifth night in a row, you stagger in blotto,
dig out your stash and mull up, pass out in the lounge in your boxers
and expect her to accept that you're just being you.
2.
Bodily Functions
Before:
You spray aerosol after a crap, piss on the side of
the bowl to reduce the noise level, and never ever fart in her presence.
After:
You fart in front of her with impunity and obvious
pride, commenting on the food intake for the day and speculating on the
resultant odour of the next fart. Despite repeated pleas to refrain, you
fart in bed and hold her head under the covers. You think it's
hilarious.
3.
Relations/Friends
Before:
Her aunty Jane is a real character with a lively
personality and interesting views about politics, and her out-of-work
girlfriend Amanda is a genuine, charming supportive friend who you think
is really nice.
After:
Aunty Jane is a loud-mouthed pain-in-the-arse fascist
with all the personality of a cold sore. Amanda is a manipulative loser,
but you wouldn't mind slipping her one if the opportunity arose.
4.
Sex
Before:
Sex is a sweat-soaked, gymnastic romp that lasts for
hours. You screw to impress, using all your tricks - your renowned tit
grope, your marathon oral sex sessions and jackhammer-like screwing.
Doing it four times a day is not uncommon.
After:
A wank is often preferable to the effort of sex. When
you do have sex, you think about Amanda.
5.
Attention Span
Before:
Her words are hypnotic, her wit incisive; her
anecdotes about life pre-you are spellbinding. Over candlelight and
coffee you listen with interest and politely chortle as she recounts
stories of her childhood.
After:
Your eyes glaze over as soon as she mentions anything
that doesn't involve you or football. What's more, you develop the
uncanny ability to be able to concentrate on the TV and pretend to be
listening to her at the same time. The phrase
"Are you listening to me ?" becomes an evening mantra.
6.
The flip side
Before:
She thinks you are witty, disciplined, a sexual
athlete, attentive, loving, faithful and devoid of all the crass male
habits which have plagued her previous relationships ........ but she
suspects that you're full of shit.
After:
She knows you're full of shit.

Top tips
Weight watchers. Avoid that devilish
temptation to nibble at the chocolate bar in the cupboard or fridge by
not buying the thing in the first place.
Give up smoking by sticking one
cigarette from each new pack up a friend's arse, filter first, then
replacing it in the box. The possibility of putting that one in your
mouth will put you off smoking any of them.
Dyslexics. Try deliberately spelling
words wrongly. This way at least you have a chance of spelling them
correctly.
Bearded men can obtain the appearance
of an upper class Arctic explorer by simply applying Tippex to their
beards, painting their noses blue, and cutting off a couple of toes. It
never fails to impress the girls.
If a small child is choking on an ice
cube, don't panic. Simply pour a jug of boiling water down its throat
and hey presto! The blockage is almost instantly removed.
Avoid cutting yourself while clumsily
slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them while you chop
away.
Housewives: When nipping out to the
shops, remember to carry a stiff broom in the boot of your car. Use it
to sweep the broken glass to the side of the road every time you have a
minor accident.
Keep the seat next to you on the train
vacant by smiling and nodding at people as they walk up the aisle.
Save on booze by drinking cold tea
instead of whisky. The following morning you can create the effects of a
hangover by drinking a thimble full of washing up liquid and banging
your head repeatedly on the wall.
Make bath times as much fun for kiddies
as a visit to the seaside by putting a bucket of sand, a bag of salt and
a dog turd into the bath.
Recreate the fun of a visit to a public
swimming pool in your own home by filling the bath with cold water,
adding two bottles of bleach, then urinating into it, before jumping in.
Girls. Too old to go on an 18 to 30
holiday? Simply get pissed, lie in a sand pit in your garden and shag
every bloke who looks at you over the fence.
Don't buy expensive 'ribbed' condoms,
just buy an ordinary one and slip a handful of frozen peas inside it
before you put it on.
X-Files fans. Create the effect of
being abducted by aliens by drinking two bottles of vodka. You'll
invariably wake up in a strange place the following morning, having had
your memory mysteriously 'erased'.
Minor skin grafts can be performed on
pigs by covering any cuts and grazes with thin strips of bacon.
Save money on expensive personalised
car number plates by simply changing your name to match your existing
plate. - Mr. KVL 741Y.
Don't waste money buying expensive
binoculars. Simply stand closer to the object you wish to view.
Avoid jet lag by simply taking an
earlier flight, thus arriving fully refreshed and on time.
Putting just the right amount of gin in
your goldfish bowl makes the fishes' eyes bulge and cause them to swim
in an amusing manner.
Save time when crossing a one-way
street by only looking in the direction of oncoming traffic.
When crossing a one-way street always
look in BOTH directions in case a large blue furniture removal lorry is
reversing the wrong way up the road.
Thicken up runny low-fat yoghurt by
stirring in a spoonful of lard.
A next door neighbour's car aerial,
carefully folded, makes an ideal coat hanger in an emergency.
Hijackers. Avoid a long stressful siege
and the risk of arrest, imprisonment or death by simply making sure you
book a flight to your intended destination in the first place.
Deter goldfish from having sex by
throwing a small bucket of air over any that you catch in the act.
An empty aluminium cigar tube filled
with angry wasps makes an inexpensive vibrator.
Olympic athletes. Disguise the fact
that you've taken anabolic steroids by running a bit slower.
Sweetcorn fans. Save money on loo paper
by simply pouring the stuff straight down the pan.
Avoid arguments with the missus about
lifting the loo seat by weeing in the sink.
Pretend you're a giant panda by giving
yourself two black eyes, eating only bamboo shoots and refusing to have
sex with the missus.
Smokers. Save on matches and lighters,
by simply lighting your next fag from the butt of your last one.
Vegetarians coming to dinner? Simply
serve them a nice bit of steak or veal. Since they're always going on
about how tofu, Quorn, meat substitute etc. tastes exactly like the real
thing', they won't know any difference.
Invited by vegetarians for dinner?
Point out that since you'd no doubt been made aware of their special
dietary requirements, tell them about yours, and ask for a nice fat
juicy steak.
Spice up your sex life by trying a bit
of 'rodeo sex'. Take your missus from behind and, holding on tightly to
her jugs, call her by the wrong name. See how long you can 'stay
mounted' for.
HGV drivers. When climbing a long hill
at 20 mph, the lane to drive in is the LEFT one.
