PARENT - Job Description
This is hysterical.
If it had been presented this way,
I don't believe any of us would have done it!!!!
POSITION :
Mom, Mommy, Mama, Ma
Dad, Daddy, Dada, Pa, Pop
JOB DESCRIPTION :
Long term, team players needed,
for challenging permanent work in an
often chaotic environment.
Candidates must possess excellent
communication and organizational skills
and be willing to work variable hours,
which will include evenings and weekends
and frequent 24 hour shifts on-call.
Some overnight travel required,
including trips to primitive camping sites
on rainy weekends and endless sports
tournaments in far away cities!
Travel expenses not reimbursed.
Extensive courier duties also required.
RESPONSIBILITIES :
Fo r the rest of your life.
Must be willing to be hated,
at least temporarily,
until someone needs $5.
Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly.
Also, must possess the physical stamina
of a pack mule and be able to go
from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat
in case, this time, the screams
from the backyard are not someone
just crying wolf.
Must be willing to face stimulating
technical challenges,
such as small gadget repair,
mysteriously sluggish toilets
and stuck zippers..
Must screen phone calls,
maintain calendars and
coordinate production of multiple
homework projects.
Must have ability to plan and organize
social gatherings for clients of all ages
and mental outlooks.
Must be willing to be indispensable
one minute,
an embarrassment the next.
Must handle assembly and product
safety testing of a half million cheap,
plastic toys, and battery operated devices.
Must always hope for the best but be
prepared for the worst.
Must assume final, complete accountability
for the quality of the end product.
Responsibilities also include floor
maintenance and janitorial work
throughout the facility.
POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT &
PROMOTION :
None.
Your job is to remain in the same position
for years, without complaining,
constantly retraining and updating
your skills, so that those in your charge
can ultimately surpass you.
PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE :
None required unfortunately.
On-the-job training offered on a continually
exhausting basis.
WAGES AND COMPENSATION :
Get this! You pay them!
Offering frequent raises and bonuses.
A balloon payment is due when they
turn 18 because of the assumption
that college will help them become
financially independent.
When you die,
you give them whatever is left.
The oddest thing about this reverse-salary
scheme is that you actually enjoy it and
wish you could only do more.
BENEFITS :
While no health or dental insurance,
no pension, no tuition reimbursement,
no paid holidays and no stock options
are offered; job supplies limitless
opportunities for personal growth
and free hugs and kisses for life
if you play your cards right.
Forward this on to all the PARENTS y ou kno w,
in appreciation for everything they do on a daily basis,
letting them know they are appreciated
for the fabulous job they do.......
