I was out with the girls the other day when we stumbled upon this lovely gem of a sign:
What struck me was two things, 1> the title – Master Jedi! It gave importance to the role of Dishwasher. It made me want to quit my job and work there! I bet it is amazing to be able to float the dishes into the sink from the counter. I need to perfect my Jedi skills first.
And 2> Apply with resume? Seriously? I wash dishes all the time. At work, at home at my mother’s when she has us over for dinner. It’s a simple process really. Fill the sink with hot soapy water. Add dirty dishes. Wipe with cloth. Place on counter to dry – OR have someone else dry them for you. Simple. Done. If one of those newfangled dishwashers are involved, well, I’m sure it comes with an instruction manual.
It made me think about my current position. My job title is SNA. Sure that acronym stands for something. It stands for words that explain what I do. BORING. Nothing half as exciting as Jedi Master. I have decided I need to jazz up my job title. If it is fabulous enough I am going to submit it to our HR person and ask for a formal job title change. Here are a few that come to mind:
- Super Narly Academic – I like how it makes me sound smart and cool in a disgusting way
- Saber-tooth Neanderthal Alternative – I like the way it makes me sound aggressive
- Soothsaying NASA Antagonist – again it makes me sound brilliant (thanks to the NASA part) yet it also says all knowing pain in the ass,which is also true!
I am open to suggestions. I need to spice up my Job Title. Maybe something that comes with a red cape might be nice…
Sexy Natural Assassin.
May not make sense, but it’s got bite. And, hello? It’s sexy! What more do you need?
HAHAHAHA Strangely enough, each of those adjectives describes me PERFECTLY! ๐
You and Steve should create a few…. Seems that you both dealing with it. Very funny! I would love to be a Master Jedi “whatever”.
Xx
Master Jedi sounds so sacred and important! I may just call myself Master Jedi SNA ๐
Ha, I didn’t see that job listed as I was looking at the classifieds!
How about:
Super Natural Aphrodite
Successfully Networked Author
Stealthily Nefarious Apparition
Sweet Nectarous Apple
I could go on and on… ๐
I love #2! But I also love being referred to as Aphrodite!! Hmmmm decisions, decisions…
You could merge the two worlds and create an MJSNA.
Somewhat like the MBA that others covet only more worldly.
But then, EVERYONE would want one too.
I would want to work there for the sign alone. It’s so rare to see an open sense of humor in a work place…at least in these parts of the woods. May the Force be with you Master SNA.
Agreed! The staff there seem to really enjoy themselves! Thanks for the honorary title ๐
Simply Amazing ET! Love it…what are the qualifications? Oh to go to a “special jedi school” sigh….one could wish…
especially now that Master Yoda is dead…sigh….
