If any of you are following my Twitter feed, you'll know that I applied yesterday for this job posting on Craigslist:

International speed dating company FastLife.ca is looking for four
web-savvy Twitter correspondents to report LIVE on Saturday, Feb.13
from FastLife's Canadian Valentine's Day events in Vancouver, Toronto,
Montreal and Ottawa.

Think of it as a guest reporter position of sassy social media proportions.
If you win, you get a COMPLIMENTARY pass (which includes a free drink
and 2 free tickets to romcom "Valentine's Day") and interact
full-force in the speed dating shinanigans while tweeting the night
away as a FastLife Twitter Correspondent.

If you're single, fancy yourself a tweeting expert, and want to win a
complimentary pass (plus a swag bag!), simply tweet your wittiest
“choose me” Valentine’s message to @FastLifedotCA.

•Location: Montreal

•Compensation: swag bag, complimentary pass, possibly the love of your life

I fancy myself all of the above, so I sent in a witty tweet: @FastLifedotCA I'm in the city of love and have the heart and soul to match.  I'm the perfect "model" for "twirting" and to spice up my textual flirt even more, attached this semi-racy picture that became George The Spanker's (GTS) instant fan favorite:

I also tried to use my powers of negotiation to obtain my $100 fee via an e-mail follow-up, but alas, FastLife is giving away Swag only in exchange for services.

Me an my heart bra are just going to have to keep looking for more clients, but certainly not this one:

Hi I have saw you message on Craigslist ,if your interested you have the chance to become an independant representative for us in our telecommunication company , and make your own hours, no boss, and win a very interesting income based on you efforts, even more than in a regular job.This concept is like you having your own business.

Would you be free this week for a presentation? If yes then leave me your number and I will give you more info.

Christian Fandango Marketing Consultant

Dear Christian,

No, I will not be available for your presentation, neither this week, nor in 20 years time.  I also don't understand the logic of your job offer: I will be working for you, but you won't be my boss?  I suppose you mean that I won't have a direct supervisor breathing down my neck and pressuring me, like you are sure to do at your marketing presentation.

And colour me silly, but I think I already have a job where I make my own hours, am my own boss and could make a very interesting salary based on my efforts: it's called One Hundred Jobs.

Sincerely,


Aimee Davison
