Okay, so...as part of my new crappy lifestyle, I find myself applying to jobs for which I have no experience, training, aptitude, or even desire. As such, I'm starting to encounter a need for references. I'm not sure for what, since they often are explicitly not to be work references, so I assume it is to confirm that I do not, for example, habitually maim strangers for no apparent reason or eat my boogers in public.
So! I turn to you, my readership. If you would be interested as being listed as a reference for yours truly, please send me an e-mail including your name, address, phone number, and occupation. To qualify, you need only know me and, I assume, be able to give an honest assessment as to whether or not I would make a competent burger-flipper. I only ask that, if you should be contacted, you not lie about anything (related to me; you can lie about yourself, if you like). I will be, as always, candid with prospective employers, and I would ask that my references be the same.
Thanks, all. Your reward will be, hopefully, that I eventually have something to blog about. :) Smell ya later!
[EDIT: So I totally thought of a way to make this fun. So here's the deal. As I get volunteers, I will add them to a pool of references. For each job I apply to, I will select at random from the pool as many references as the job wants. Now...if you end up getting contacted about me, you win a prize! To claim it, you just tell me what job contacted you. Good luck!]
