It's time to play.... LET'S GUESS MATTHEW'S NEW JOB! UPDATED -- JOB REVEALED!!

[MeanLaureen]

Actually Matthew doesn't start his new job until NEXT Monday!

Funny thing is, now that he accepted this job, he has another company calling him and setting up an interview. I hope this one works out because I'm not too happy about the idea of Matt being an exotic dancer


oops..

 

[GotAnyPins]

You weren't there at the SSE when we were at the dinner at Konas' , you probably were told that Eddie (Raul) was the only one dancing on the chairs....but NOOOO~!!~ right beside him ..shaking his booty....was none other then our esteemed moderator...you know who!!!

I Was SWORN to secrecy, but I can say I just had another blonde moment

 

[Obi-Wan Pinobi]

HEEEYYYY!!!

There was no Pinobi-booty shaking going on!!!

 

[GotAnyPins]

So that's your story and you're sticking to it.. I'll cover for you best I can... but I think the pics will tell the story...(No sorry they all weren't destroyed!!! )

 

[Obi-Wan Pinobi]

hmm ... can't use a Jedi mind trick on Donna, she's too strong-willed ... what can I do ... I got it

Okay, everyone! Last chance to vote! Tonight I'll let everyone know what my new job is.

 

[Obi-Wan Pinobi]

Okay, everyone, the poll is closed and time to reveal my new job.

But first, let's review the poll's final results (with an attempt at ballot box stuffing tossed out )

Radio Advertising Salesman (think Herb Tarleck) -- 12 (27.91%)
Toy Lightsaber tester for Hasbro -- 6 (13.95%)
Latex Salesman for Vandelay Industries -- 6 (13.95%)
Landscape Architect -- 5 (11.63%)
Pooper Scooper at the Richmond Metro Zoo -- 5 (11.63%)
Cemetary Plot Salesman -- 3 (6.98%)
Bagger at the Piggly Wiggly -- 2 (4.65%)
TV News Cameraman -- 2 (4.65%)
Chippendales Exotic Dancer -- 1 (2.33%)
Professional Painter -- 1 (2.33%)

First, let's eliminate the ones that are obviously not true -- Exotic Dancer (don't listen to those at Kona's), Painter (I didn't earn the title "Bob Vila's worst nightmare" for nothing), and Vandelay Industries ("and you want to be my latex salesman" -- Jerry Seinfeld).

No Piggly Wigglys in this area; we have a zoo but I'm not scooping that much poop, thank you very much; and even the weeds in our yard are crunchy so landscape architect is out too.

That leaves radio sales, Hasbro, cemetery sales, or cameraman.

I don't have the training to operate a tv news camera (besides, can you imagine big ol' thumb images over the city of Richmond and the VA Governor's head chopped off?).

While playing with -- err, being a sales rep for Hasbro would be COOL, that's not it either.

This leaves two jobs that I have applied for.

I never heard back from Radio Disney's affiliate here in Richmond, so that leaves ...

yes ...

pre-need cemetery sales.

Okay, you can stop laughing now.

Okay, you can stop laughing NOW!!

I start my training on Monday. Wish me luck, everyone!

 

[GotAnyPins]

I know you are just dying to start working

Ok I stopped LAUGHING!!!!!

But to be truthful...and after what I saw at Kona's I still think you would have made a fortune being a Chippendale..

 

[Mickey527]

Matt,
I was going to order some advertising for the event, and my SPEEDO fashion show but you chose the cemetary job.
Oh well, I can't help you there, I plan on being creamated and my boys are going to sprinkle me into the lake right in front of the WL. I know it's against the rules, don't anyone tell, we have already figured out how they are going to do it and no one will know. I want to be fish food because even if you catch a fish at WDW you have to toss it back. I figured if they dump me in Small World I will be dust in a vaccuum cleaner. Not where I want to be.

I sense a lot of good jokes coming on now....

 

[LynniethePooh]

Matthew I am very happy for you!
I think it is a fine job.....you have a kindness and compassion that will make you a wonderful person to work with when dealing with an unpleasant thought. (death, that is)

I bet you are PLOTTING out your first day outfit right now! It is best to be PREpared for these things. I was going to write more here but I drank some iced tea and started COFFIN on it.


Best of Luck!!!!!

(Okay Lynnie...I'm really groaning now....)

But I do know that everyBODY wishes you the best of luck. Don't get too buried in work your first week on the job!

Seriously, though, you'll do great!!

 

[Engr-Chas]

I knew it, you are my door man!!!

I need a good front man to smooth talk prospective minions.

I have a list for you from your area that you can work on.

DIG right in and don't choke or you will be COFFIN up a lung.

You are UNDERTAKING a fine profession.

Just KICK THE BUCKET out of the way and EMBALM yourself into the job!

Thank you, I am here all week!

[Obi-Wan Pinobi]

Well, I'm sure everyone else has been dying to hear what my new job is.

Hey, I've been hearing them from Lauri and from Jeff all week. Heck, I was wondering what Chas' reaction would be (psst, Chas, can you get me that list so I can talk to the future occupants beforehand? thanks ).

Yes, I will get these out of my system before I get in front of customers.

 

[AZ JazzyJ]

Ok, you guys Matthew has taken enough jokes for now. Show a little compassion. After all, he is just trying to get a head.

Jeff

 

[3kids4me]

Okay, that one made me laugh out loud! Thanks for the morning boost Jeff!!

 

[Dar20]

Again, Matt, congrats! My uncle is a funeral director and owner of a funeral home, and makes a very good living at it.

Best of luck to you!

Dar (can I put up my own poll about my next job? I had an interview yesterday! Finally! - no one is hiring in Florida right now)
