Some People Have Huge Cojones. Luckily, So Do I.

Because the employment situation in Miami is so precarious... And because my current place of employment has yet to hire me full time even though I'm kicking ass and have been for seven months and counting, I sometimes take a leap of faith and apply for job openings on craigslist.com.

Before you say anything, I realize most postings on this site are decoys to get decent women like myself to prostitute themselves on a street corner. But just like a shoe sale at your local thrift shop, something really good will pop up if you look long and hard.

Three days ago, I found just that.

The job description was detailed and nothing struck me as odd about the contact information provided. It did however, seem a little weird that the ad asked for a picture of the applicant, yet I decided to bypass that and chalk it up to my extreme xenophobia. I applied for the assistant position to "Otto Fisher - Chief Operations Officer at Bla Bla Bla Medical Company" and hoped for the best.

That same night, Mr. Fisher himself sent me the following:

Silly me! I'd completely forgotten to include a photograph of myself. I thought, Hmmm, maybe someone would like to remind dear ol' Otto that requesting pictures for a job that doesn't entail stripping or serving wings at Hooters is kind of illegal.

Instead, I snapped this and emailed it to him with a link to this post.
