Drinking on the job

There are few job postings that really stick out. Most of them look basically the same with bland details about what your bland job duties will be. But this posting for a "public relations" position on Craig's List really caught my attention...

Beer Pong Promotional Reps Needed (Pittsburgh)

World Beer Pong Tour is looking for promotional reps to promote upcoming events at Buckhead Saloon in Pittsburgh May 22-25.

Reps sign teams up and sponsors for the tournament. Please fill out a job application for Promotional Rep at worldpongtour.com/jobs/reps.php

Uhhh, there are no words to describe that position. As expected, the job is part-time and workers are paid by commission. Now, I'm no salesman, but how hard can it be to get a bunch of drunk frat bros to sign up to play a little beer pong? On the other hand, if this blog suddenly disappears from the tubes of Internet, you'll be happy to know that I've found my calling in life.

  1. Judging by the picture your beer pong team must consist of one lanky basketball-player type and one shorter chubbier kid who never played any sports but always hung out with the jocks.

  2. I wouldn't actually be playing, Jon. Just recruiting those chubby kids and Kevin Pittsnogle wannabes to toss a plastic ball into a cup o beer.
