Mini Post

This isn’t my real post for today. That’s coming later. I just had to recognize how funny the comments are to yesterday’s post, where I asked you to describe your job with one humorous sentence. Some of them are pretty terrific, and I confess laughing every time the word “turd” was used in a new way. Props to the person who says his job is to eat turds and repoop them.

It’s also fascinating to find out what my readers do for a living. Most of you work in technology, but there’s a healthy dose of doctors, lawyers, fast food workers, cops, Moms, pastors, and at least one prostitute who is writing a book.

Now excuse me while I go write a post that appeals to pastors and whores. I think my job got harder today.

I build F*****g big sawmills in Russia, despite working for a company with a consensus based management system.

"Most of you work in technology, but there’s a healthy dose of doctors, lawyers, fast food workers, cops, Moms, pastors, and at least one prostitute who is writing a book."

Does that make me the only one in human resources?

I got to re-word my post now. Being a landscape photographer, I show people how beautiful this Earth could be without their turd.

I sheperd traveling turds in the wee small hours while reading and answering your blog - there's more, there's always more, but it's complicated.

Well, I'm a spiritualist that doesn't ask others for money. So what do you have to say about my kind?

Your job didn't get harder unless you decide it should. Finding out who your audience is doesn't mean you should pander to us; you didn't get us that way, and you won't keep us that way.

Of course, you probably know that perfectly well...

(I was the meat-puller, i.e. Jimmy John's employee. Also a computer science undergrad, but that doesn't make for nearly as funny a job description as "I pull meat".)

That was yesterday. I thought today was the 9th! I am SO confused!

Why do you think there is a difference between pastors and whores? They both bilk money out of people for something that should be free.

"his job is to eat turds and repoop them"

Coincidentally, that's my Jack Russell Terrier's job too. Literally. He seems to really enjoy it too. And no, we didn't give him this job. He took it upon himself.

This reminds of how much people love to fill in polls and answer questions about themselves. This is probably an internet only thing because I can't see it working when a total stranger asks you questions on the street.

I'm sure if you ask some questions to your readers a lot of lurkers will start replying. You asked us a question of how to improve your restaurant. Your entry hit above 1.000 replies.

People love polls on the internet.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I've seen it happen too many times to dismiss it as a coincidence.

Your capitalization of the profession, Mom, was much appreciated!

Pastors and whores, all creatures great and small, brought together by a turd. How 'bout that?

Scott, I've been wondering how your posts on reader compliments and hypnotism are connected...and now I have to add how "turds" figure in there. I'm not sure if you're brilliant or scary, but thanks for such a good daily mind-working read.

Now, it's normal to comment on regular posts, but should we make comments on mini-posts as well?
