This isn't Seven Second Delay. We're planning this. Taking our time. It's a marathon, not a sprint, son.

What are the parameters?  Will there be any leads in Oklahoma in the construction industry?
Breakfast- I'm havin' a time
Wheelies- I'm havin' a time
Headlocks- I'm havin' a time
Drunk Tank- not so much a time
George St.- I'm havin' a time
Brenda- I'm havin' a time
Bingo- I'm havin' a time

As it happens, I'm going to be looking for a lawyer job next year.  Tom, I've emailed you privately.

I have a friend who's interested in being a Dungeon Master's apprentice.  Will the Best Show Job Fair feature such an opening?

Also, he wants to find a position with a DM who talks with a lazy lisp and has waffle patterns on his ass.  A room lit by only one filthy, bare 40 watt bulb is a plus, not to mention DMV experience.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

If the day ever comes where Tom decides to apply this idea to unemployed musicians and form bands on the air, I am 100% in.

Unless people hiring for tenure track positions are using TBSOWFMU for their hiring decisions, I don't think I qualify (I'm full time, non tenure-track at RU).  I am kind of half-heartedly trying to sell out, though.

I actually emailed Tom about volunteering somehow, as in trying to coach people about getting adjunct jobs and that sort of thing, but I probably don't fit in with the format.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

I would actually find that very helpful. I sort of missed the boat for the Fall semester and have been trying to find a job for weeks and weeks now. I even took a legal proofreading class in an attempt to find some temp work in NYC that I would be qualified for and that wouldn't drive me berserk.

Do you have a Master's Degree?  If you do, there's plenty of work to be found - it might or might not be worth looking even now, though March-April is the best time.  Send me a message through my profile and I'll give you a couple of tips...

I'm not sure if this counts, but I wrote this: http://unclephilsmovie.blogspot.com/2007/07/joanna-gruesome.html hoping it could get me hired to write or do art for a local magazine or something but it's gotten me nowhere.  Can the Best Show help?

I've been in management consulting for 10+ years, and I want to make a career change with a break into the ballet industry.  I hope that TBSOWFMU Job Fair will answer my prayers!!
