The last guy to hold this job walked out without notice a couple of weeks ago. I wonder why. ;D
 
Gosh, it actually DOES sound like my FIRST job... But back in '69, that was good money :)
 
This thread is a HOOT!!! Reminds me of my second job in radio. This is the opposite end of the spectrum regarding ridiculous hiring. I was 16, had just been let go by the #1 station on town, WHSC-AM in Hartsville(funny to say an AM was a number one anything, but I digress), and I went across town to Lincoln Village to Harold Bledsoe's WSDC. A guy named Jim Hahn (who I suppose was the indentured servant, um, I mean, program director) handed me a blank sheet of typing paper and said, "Here, fill this out". I wrote my name and birthday down. I was hired 15 minutes later. Let me tell ya, nothing beats working in a trailer.
