Help Wanted



A Reader's Respite is in dire need of a Blog Secretary.


Why, you ask?


A Reader's Respite is extraordinarily forgetful. This may be due to age or a lack of oxygen resulting from so much time spent in pressurized aircraft at 35,000. We're not sure.

The fabulous commentators who brighten our day for some reason refuse to hold A Reader's Respite's feet to the fire.

As a result, things like book giveaway announcements get left in some forgotten blog corner, gathering cyberspace dust and leaving said commentators wondering, "WHO WON THE DAMNED BOOK?"

A blog secretary could remedy all of this.


Job requirements:
  • Male
  • Previous experience working in films, preferably films that involved hobbits and wizards
  • Available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
  • Must have a finely honed memory (finely honed abs are a plus, too)

Oh yeah, and you must look like this:




Compensation?

A Reader's Respite's everlasting adoration and the undying gratitude of those waiting to see WHO WON THE DAMNED BOOK.


If you fit the bill, please contact us immediately.









Oh, and Booking Mama? You won Bound South! Shoot me an email with your address so I can send it out on the next Pony Express.

  1. If you find you have an excess of applicants, please send the leftovers my way. I've been having the same problem.

  2. Even a Viggo look-alike would work fine with me. But back the the memory problem, you have no excuses. You just have a full-time job and two kids. What do you have to think about? Except entertaining us and making us laugh?

  9. LOL! I loved this post! I hope you find your secretary. In the meantime, it looks like BookingMama survived and will still get her book, so all is well.
