Finding F***ing Mel Gibson a F***ing Job!
Mel Gibson, actor, director and producer, was recently dropped (Hollywood word for "Fired.") by his agent William Morris Endeavor Entertainment amid allegations that he assaulted and made death threats against his ex-girlfriend. This is so are not going to help in a new job search.
("You're a f---ing mentally deprived idiot. You can't even f---ing figure it out, I'm paying the tax money instead of the credit card. Don't you get it?" he told his ex-lover.)
A a woman, I don't condone this behavior for one minute, but I am forgiving and always want to help people have second, third.... OK, I lost count, but I want to help people find a job. (It's a good thing that I'm not Russian, Jewish, African-American or Latino, because I might not be so forgiving.)
But on to finding Mad Max a new job.
I've got to admit, this one is going to take some soul searching. First off, Mel might not walk away with a good reference from his former employer- you know, the public- but there is hope.
Mel's got some special skills.
While he probably wouldn't be a fit working in law enforcement, he does own a lot of guns. Perhaps a job as a gunsmith or in firearm sales?

The actor who once stared in a movie called, "What Women Want," apparently doesn't know what women want, so any work in a woman's spa or salon is probably not a good career fit. But, since he's quick with his hands, how about finding a gig where he can spar for 8 hours a day?

Want to work on Black Friday? Ask for Combat Pay!
No, we don't want you to join the military or take a job at Chuck E Cheese, but it's just as dangerous.
You'll have to get up at 3am, drive to work in the dark and risk life and limb climbing over shoppers- dressed in sweats and slippers wearing dirty NFL blankets (which they got in a fight over with a 90-year-old grandma last Black Friday) over their shoulders and sitting in beach chairs sipping over- sized Mountain Dews and eating pork rinds- just to get to work.
Then you will be thrown into a job that you've had absolutely no training for and the doors will open to people who haven't slept since the day before Thanksgiving and who have coupons for a HD wide-screen TV for $10.95. (there will be one for sale.) and who would as soon run your ass over as look at you.
STAND THE HELL OUT OF THEIR WAY!
We actually think that if you take one of these one-day only jobs you should go and hide in the bathroom until your shift is over. Bring a book and a sandwich because seriously, no one will notice anyway!
So check out the jobs, slap on your kids bike helmet and head to the nearest Wally World for a quick payday. Just think of the stories you'll be able to tell your kids.... if you make it home alive that is!
Best of luck!

How Bad Do You Really Want a Holiday Job?

Crowds, screaming children, swine-flu germs....but hey, if you need the money now is the time!
People might not be spending like its 1999, but you can't really have Christmas/Hanukkah without presents , so the malls will be swarming with shoppers. This in turn means stores need temp workers and you don't need a hell of a lot of experience because they're going to fire your ass come January 1, 2010 anyway. But, since you're used to being unemployed it won't hurt your feelings.
So get out there and get a job! No excuses! Whether you have to give samples of cheese and wieners dressed as an elf to smart-ass kids or help old ladies try on bras, it's a paycheck. (We used to work in the Large Ladies Underwear Bargain Basement so quit yer bitchin!)
Go online and apply for as many jobs as you can (hurry- do it NOW) but a good bet is to pull up your pants and put on a belt and clean shirt and go from store to store and in your nicest voice say, "Excuse me, are you hiring holiday help?" Ignore the sneer from the 19-year-old manager, take the application and when you have 10 or more go to the Hot-Dog-On-A-Stick and fill out the applications. Drop them off on your way home and then do it again the next day on the other side of town. (We have teens- we've given this speech before!)
So go for it and don't spend all your damn money on your girlfriend because she's probably going to dump you after Christmas anyway.
MOVE!
Nordies is the big score- decent pay and deep discounts. Score one of these coveted gigs and send us a shirt from Brass Plum please- size medium.

The rich boys on Wall Street still buy the bling for their wifey (and mistress) so hit up Tiffany & Co. and don't steal anything.

Do you look good in brown? UPS is hiring for the season- get out there and put on the shorts.
Description: Openings for Part-Time Package Handlers (varied shifts throughout the day), or, Seasonal Driver Helpers (Days, 8am-8pm, weekends off, Thanksgiving to Christmas).
Apply online: https://ups.managehr.com/entrypoint.aspx?p=4&HowHeard=T801
Wal-Mart---OK, we wouldn't apply here, but you're probably more desperate than we are. Try not to get killed by a stampede of crazy, overweight people who think they need one more damn TV for the double-wide. The good news is you only have to work here for 40 days. Try not to look anyone directly in the eye and you'll make it.
