CLIENT EMPLOYMENT SEEKING CONTRACT

I,_________________________________ agree to the following terms of service regarding seeking employment:

1. I will miss 3 out of every 5 job development meetings.
2. I will only attend interviews where I know for certain that marijuana is in my system.
3. I will deny that I knew anything about marijuana in my system.
4. I will expect the job developer to solve all of my problems, including but not limited to:

--in trouble again with parole officer
--had a crappy childhood

--parents are mean to me
5. I will make unrealistic demands followed by rigid expectations.
6. I will not follow up on job leads and if I am hired I will quit after two days.

JOB DEVELOPMENT SERVICES AND FEE SCHEDULE

The following is an overview of job development services, along with fee schedule:

1. OBTAIN EMPLOYMENT WHERE ANY AND ALL DRUG USE IS ACCEPTABLE

Through the competent use of miracle, prayer to idols and bloodletting ritual sacrifice I will obtain employment for anyone who wants to smoke marijuana, crack or crystal meth while on the job, per their requirements. Furthermore, I will convince all employers that these activities increase productivity and reliability.

Fee for service: gratis


2. OBTAIN EMPLOYMENT WHERE FELONIES ARE AN ASSET

Through the use of magic job pixie powder I will convince the employer of your choice that convictions and charges for theft, murder, prostitution and unlawful weapons discharge provide essential "real life" experience and background that so many recent college graduates are missing from their anemic resumes touting church volunteer work or Americorps service.

Fee for service: A hole in the head. Mine.


3. OBTAIN EMPLOYMENT WHERE ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY IS NOT REQUIRED

Through the use of guilt and coercion, I will bully, harass and threaten to sue any employer into hiring any non-literate, non-verbal person who cannot communicate using the English language, or indeed any language at all.

Fee for service: pocket lint


4. OBTAIN EMPLOYMENT WHERE A CONFRONTATIONAL ME-FIRST ATTITUDE IS DESIRED

Through the use of extensive bullshitting and the application of tenuous logic, I will convince any employer that an inability to follow instructions, a history of workplace harassment, a dislike of authority and outright aggression are actually the hallmarks of an assertive "self-starter" and a "go-getter" and furthermore that these qualities represent the individualism and pioneering spirit that make America great!

Fee for service: Slash my tires + three mouth breathy phone calls threatening the safety of my family


5. OBTAIN EMPLOYMENT WHERE LOW MOTIVATION IS NECESSARY

Through the use of interpretive dance, power point, baskets of puppies and liquid ecstasy I will convince any employer that a lack of motivation is actually a sign of great, untapped energy reserves. Furthermore, a lack of motivation demonstrates a certain "physical honesty" regarding the nature and function of the job.

Fee for service: I'll get back to you...yawn.


6. OBTAIN EMPLOYMENT WHERE LACK OF EDUCATION IS PREFERRED

Through the application of blatant classism and outmoded stereotypes, I will convince any employer that any additional education beyond the fifth grade is for "liberal college boy egghead pussies" and just an excuse to demand a higher salary that the employer can nary afford to pay. Besides, everyone knows that real men are dumb, football watching swine and real women get their learned out of Cosmo and O magazines right?

Fee for service: I don't know. I can't count.


7. OBTAIN EMPLOYMENT WHERE NO MARKETABLE SKILLS IS ESSENTIAL

Please see above.


8. OBTAIN EMPLOYMENT WHERE CLIENT'S SCHEDULING, BENEFITS AND SALARY REQUIREMENTS COME FIRST

Please refer to #4.


9. OBTAIN EMPLOYMENT WHERE AN INABILITY TO PERFORM ESSENTIAL JOB DUTIES IS DEMANDED.

Through the use of wacky mojo and strong ju-ju, I will plant magic faery pixie powder beans in the brains of employers, causing them to become mixed up zombies who obey my commands to allow anyone to work even if they cannot or will not do the job.

Fee for service: Rotten beef, and lots of it!

Dear Police Friends, Would You Mind Not Smoking Dope With My Client? ...Thanks!

Dear Loser Cop Buddies of My Client,

my client has a traumatic brain injury. He was just offered a job at Target last week. He blurted out "I can't move my hand I'm crippled!" the second they offered him a job. The job offer was withdrawn quicker than an unwrapped cock from a two-minute whore.

"But you can move your hand, right?" I said to him.

"Oh yeah, sure I can but I wasn't sure if I should say I could or not. Maybe I should...shouldn't...should...should...'nt. Oh man. I don't know."

"Well, if you can move your hand--"

"--Oh yeah! Plus I had a little weed with my cop buddies last weekend. That was a week ago. One of them's a DARE officer. It was just a little weed. Just, you know a drag or a joint or two. I probably wouldn't pass the weed test they give out. You know?"

"Which was it, a drag or two joints?"

"Yeah. That one. I mean, its no big deal right? I mean, cops do it and doctors and lawyers. If they can do it...Do you think I'd pass that urine test. Can you call and ask for me?"

"Right, but the thing is, see--"

"--I mean, and its from 2-10 pm, the shift you know and anyways I don't know how my dog can be alone that long. I mean, thats a long time. Shit! I just want to have a simple little job where I can party and have something to do. The only one I talk to is my dog and he's not even a girl and I just want to work so I can see girls and watch them and get a job and party so I can get a girl to take care of me and my dog for a little while until I'm a CEO again and everybody is happy to see me when I get off the jet airplane to go check on how they're doing and then I'll cut my hair and wear a suit. Okay?"

On behalf of your brain injured, job seeking friend I humbly request that you refrain from offering my client your drugs at least until he gets a job. Unfortunately, while DARE officers can smoke all the dope they want in their spare time (or while on duty) without negative societal reprocussions, people with brain injuries whose ambition is to work at Target cannot.

I kindly thank you for your understanding in this matter.

JMT, Job Developer and Placement Coordinator.

Is it Earth Time Yet?

In the busy world of today, we all wish we had more time for the Earth. Sometimes we stare out of our office bubbles, car windows and arses. What are we thinking?

"I wish I had more time for the Earth."

Earth time is not to be confused with "birth time," an astrological designation of corporeal measurement or "green day" a new school emo band or "earth day" a thing that happens once a year.

When we celebrate earth day, we place all of our eggs into one little basket. We are lured into the complacent notion that, "hey, I don't need to think about the earth right now, because it is not yet earth day." And then what happpens? Earth day comes around and lo and behold, you don't have a whole day to spare for the Earth, your mother.

What many people don't understand is that the earth is a needy, cosmic entity that requires constant attention and petting.

Instead of one day, once a year, what the Earth needs is a little bit of LOVING, all the time.

When the earth gets hungry for loving, it gets ornery and one thing that none of us want is an ornery earth. When the strip miners and oil drillers do bad things to the earth, it's really negative but the earth is sitting there thinking:

"Yeah, but at least those fuckers pay attention to me!"

So instead of trying to spare a whole day that you do not have, why not spare a minute of your time, time spent on the earth...earth time.

Here's what to do:

Every day while at work, reach down and pat the floor once in awhile and say, "good little earth, good little earth. You're such a nice, happy little earth and I. Love. You!"

You may not hear anything right away, but just know that the earth listens to that, and really likes it a lot.

Arab Terrorists!

I was just informed today by Bill Butts, a vocational rehabilitation counselor who I work with that "Arab terrorists" run all of the tobacco shops and some restaurants in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Region. Bill Butts has a big heart, happy hands, an eye for the ladies, and a beard like Billy goat. This dialogue shows how difficult it can be to remain politically correct in this profession.

"Oh Mr. Butts, I just went in to Midway Tobacco to see if they had any jobs available for my peeps."

"What? No, don't go looking for jobs in those places. They only hire Arabs."

"Yes, they usually are family run. I'm going to forget about it."

"Yeah, a buddy of mine told me that the terrorists run those places, only Arab terrorists. I think our government knows about it. Don't bother with that."

"Well, there are a lot of family operated business in the Twin Cities. I know that."

"Terrorists! Arab terrrorists!"

"Yes, many Arab families do appear to have enterprenurial endeavors."

"Terror-error, 'errorists! Perror, whereor, barrorists! Terrorists!"

"Right, Mr. Butts. Say sir, did you know a lot of people say I look like a terrorist? They say I look Saudi Eastern or Iraniarian."

"Never son! Never! I would not have believed it never for a...never! Boy! Stay. Away. Just stay away from those places. They keep hookhas for pets!"

"Yes Mr. Butts."

MEMO: LBSL

Hey Peeps,


I have arranged for an in-house seminar on the use of LBSL. The trainer is Mary Lou Browntrout and she has a Ph.D in Non-Verbal Interpersonal Proxemics from MIT. She works with United Signature Select Services and comes highly recommended. For those of you who don't know, LBSL is an emerging form of communication that utilizes calming words and motions in order to facilitate empathy and understanding among people. It is based upon a system that was derived from a program that was derived from Tai Chi and adapted for use with people who have anxiety and pre-morbid cognitive image processing maladaptive dysfunction. Mary Lou assured me that we will cover pedagogy, methodology, chronology, ontology, psychology, and techniques including The Wave, the Slow Wave, the Sweep, Half-Sweep and when to use or not use "little spinners" along with deescalatory verbal techniques refered to as "patroning." These techniques often incorporate adding "ly" to the end of words to effect a more empathic dialogue. According to research done by Dr. Browntrout, these seemingly simple methods trigger certain neurtronic receptors in the hippacampus that cause the release of calming neurotransmitters such as monooxidase inhibitors. The training is free.
