Career Ambition Ruined
By Thoreau
So, I’m facing a 10% pay cut and staring at a long Christmas shopping list. I love Christmas, I love kids, and my hours are more relaxed around Christmas. So I figured there was an obvious solution: Moonlight as a shopping mall Santa! It’s supposed to pay well, even before you factor in all the free milk and cookies.
Naturally, I went to the first place you go these days when you’re hunting for a job. And let me tell you, I had no idea how much training is involved. They actually have a national staffing agency that insists on real beards! Manicured daily! With all this rigamarole, it’s no wonder that he snapped. Twice.
It will be a while before my facial hair is naturally white, so I guess I’ll just have to shovel reindeer droppings for extra cash. Assuming St. Nick still has stimulus money to hire staff with.

Finally, something for the Men Who Look Like Kenny Rogers.

Though, his beard is too finely manicured, too manscaped. I think Ernest Hemingway could do a better Santa Claus.
