While searching for jobs on Monster.com, HotJobs.com, or Craigslist.org, I always stumble upon job descriptions with spelling mistakes or over-the-top requirements. So, I’ve compiled a list of those jobs and have categorized them by market.

Now we just need to get someone to pay you for it (-:
Have you looked into doing any freelance writing work from home? One of my buddies had a great blog post about it. I'll find the link and e-mail it to you.
Luckily my current mustache is large and well groomed, I also have a squint and a tendency to tell people my master plan in full before leaving them in, tricky but not impossible to escape from, slowly sinking boats. I believe that makes me beyond competitive for the villains role.
Mrs. B: Thanks. I'm so glad that you thought this was funny. One out of two ain't bad.
Tracie: I am doing freelance writing for several people. But it's not enough money to pay for a trip to Disneyland.
Glen: What happened to the other "n"? Sounds like you'd get the job. Maybe you should change your name to Captain Glen.
Ha you must be looking at the same job listings as I have. I LOVE the first one and would sure like to apply to that one, it sounds like it's right up my alley.
Always keep that great sense of humor, you're AWESOME!!!!
Glen, Thank you. : ) You're awesome, too!!
