"Adult Sanitation Engineer"

[eudaemonia]

This is an actual help wanted ad I saw on craigslist.org in my hometown*:

One energetic outgoing individual needed to mop and scrape ejaculate from adult viewing booth screens, walls, and floors. Must have own gloves. Salary based on experience.

* Job location is Xxxxxxxx XX
* Compensation: based on experience
* This is a part-time job.

I've always wondered how you'd advertize for that. Now I know!

Just thought I'd share that with the class ...

*More strip clubs AND houses of worship, per capita, than any other city in the U.S.

Must have own gloves? I'd think that would require a whole hazmat suit!

ewww....

I like the "salary based on experience" part.

Yeah, helluva career track. I dunno, maybe there's an excellent benefits package included ...

reminds me of the "jizz mopper" conversation from "clerks" (i think that's the right movie).

Ick. I wish I could elaborate, but I can't find the words...just ick.

That's exactly what I focused on!

I mean what... are there guys (or even gals?) out there with years of experience carrying 409 and a roll of paper towels, cleaning up after guys?

I can only imagine career day at school... dear gods...

 

[silverwhisper]

that's...surreal.

Good god, that's scary.

Thanks for the incentive I needed to study for a test this morning!

Just out of curiosity, I wonder what the interview process would be like for such a job. In most cases, an employer wants to determine if a candidate has the necessary skills to do (or at least to quickly learn) the job. For this position (and I use the term cautiously here), do you think that a careful interviewer might want the candidates to prove that they can do the job? And if so, who would provide the realistic work conditions, so to speak, for the demonstration?

Oh my gob!


Here's what they have to do to decontaminate the person that did the cleaning.

Cleanup on aisle 5!

My daddy's a spunk sponger/cum chiseler/wad wiper.

Geez. And to think that on The Fairly Oddparents, the other kids make fun of Timmy Turner's dad for being a pencil-pusher.

A few years ago I applied for a job working for the city that was simply advertised as "Semi Skilled Laborer". I didn't get the official translation (semi skilled laborer = trash man) until they called me in for an interview.

Oh MAN, Talk about putting a 'spin' to make a catchy job title.

I visited one way back in 86 in Atlantic City.... I was scared to death to touch anything....there was NO way there was enough room to 'get busy' in there and not touch something {besides each other} .... We left because I got too creeped out. And that was before Aids was as prevelent. Now days, I would indeed want that Haz-Mat suit first

Ya know, it's really tempting to respond to the anonymized email addy and see if I could talk my way into an interview. That's the Impulsive in me who is now learning some restraint thanks to ADD meds. Maybe I should go off it for a few days just to give my internal editor a vacation and I could go check out the situation to report back here. I mean, how many once-in-a-lifetime opportunities do you ever get in life? How I loathe living with regrets ...

Let's not get too lurid, now. This is a family internet forum, you know.

These professionals prefer to be called Jizz Moppers.
