Bear For Hire
 
Going Cheep.

...I'm now in-between Jobs. Gotta love me.

I'm confident it won't take long before another job turns up. :D

See, I AM an Optometrist. The glass is always half full. And it's the top half !

Luckily, in this country we dont get unemployment support unless we look for 10 jobs a week. I've GoTTA get one soon.

...in other news I love the Zoetrope in DCA. I want one. Thanks for the vid on Youtube, Isaac. :snap:

~MS~ 10-23-2007 07:08 AM

Huggs to my favorite Bear and I'm sure you'll be gainfully employeed soon!

flippyshark 10-23-2007 07:18 AM

I'm certain I can find holiday employment for you in Orlando. Come on up and I'll get you fitted for a Santa suit.

BDBopper 10-23-2007 07:20 AM

Best of luck Lashbear! We're rootin' for ya! :)

mousepod 10-23-2007 07:38 AM

I know you'll find something great. This sounds like the perfect opportunity to try something new and exciting. Cheesemaker? Dance Instructor? Perhaps you could use your spare time to set up the Antipodean Land Company and build a Disney park...

innerSpaceman 10-23-2007 07:47 AM

It sounds to me like the perfect time to make a really BIG CHANGE.



America Beckons.







That is all.









aka, I miss you. And, whew, I'm just glad you posted something .... even if it's to say you're out of a job. My law firm is closing up shop at the end of the year. Come back to the States ... we can look thru the Want Ads together!

Nephythys 10-23-2007 08:15 AM

It is good to see you- I posted a "missing" thread a while back :(

But you're fabulous- who wouldn't want to hire you!

*hugs*

Gemini Cricket 10-23-2007 08:19 AM

I was wondering what was going on with my favorite didgeridude!
:D

Something will come your way, I know it.
Chin up, Mr. Lashbear.
:)

Are all optometrists optimistic? I didn’t know it came with the job! ;)

BarTopDancer 10-23-2007 09:32 AM

We were worried about you mister!

You'll find something fantastic!

After all, a great man once said, "Blessed are the cheesemakers."

Morrigoon 10-23-2007 10:20 AM

I agree with iSm... time to make a BIG change ;) We have those things of which you seek which are called "jobs". We could find you a nice shiny one with healthcare and bacon.

katiesue 10-23-2007 10:25 AM

Good luck - I hope something comes your way quickly.

On the other hand I've got a spare bedroom here - just sayin ;)

Disneyphile 10-23-2007 10:26 AM

I'm sure the fire department is hiring here in SoCal. And, you'd get to work with other hot firefighters. ;)

Not Afraid 10-23-2007 12:03 PM

I still need a house cleaner. Will you wear a tiny LoT thong while cleaning? Yes? You're hired!!

Anytime Rob

Is it 2009 yet ? ;)

scaeagles 10-23-2007 09:18 PM

As someone who absolutely LOVES his new job (well, it's been 14 months, so I guess it isn't that new anymore), I am fully confident that gainful and enjoyable employ will be headed your way soon.

CoasterMatt 10-23-2007 09:19 PM

Hey lash!

You could always come work at the House of Horrors maze. :D

Sub la Goon 10-24-2007 12:20 PM

Well, I am jobless now too.

Hence my ability to post on this message board during "business hours".

Chalk up another casualty of the Mortgage Industry here.

Good luck, Lash, and I hope things Look Up for you soon.
(Get it? He's an optometrist.)

So there are people on LoT who don't post from work? wow...!

Ghoulish Delight 10-24-2007 02:16 PM

Perhaps someone is hiring a professional jet setter? You seem highly qualify, and we'll all happily be references.

lashbear 10-24-2007 06:38 PM

I could be a Professional Disney Guest, and travel the world going to all the parks and rating the ease of transport to get there, The tastiness of each menu in each restaurant in each resort, and then rating the luxuriousness of all the top suites in each Disney-owned hotel. Once I'd done all of them, then I'd get to start them all over again.

Where do I sign?

€uroMeinke 10-24-2007 06:42 PM

Someone recently suggested I become a professional hedonist - I keep returning to the pleasure I would take at being able to claim all hedonistic indulgences as business expenses. Now I just have to come up with a business model, once I do you can have the Aussie franchise.

Can't you write up your experiences, put them on a website, and let the ads pay for your next hedonistic experience?

lashbear 10-28-2007 04:54 AM

I have an interview !!

I've gotten through all the online culling and such, and have a final interview tomorrow at 3pm my time (it'e 10:45pm my time now just to orient you)

If I'm successful, I'll be working for a big international credit card company in their corporate cards division. Big Business. I think I'm their man.

Oh, did I mention the HUGE discounted airfares for international travel ?

I may be travelling Express to America next time !!!! :D

Yay.

~MS~ 10-28-2007 08:11 AM

Most excellent news my favorite Bear! I'm thinking discounted travel is a mega perk with you and stoat!

JWBear 10-28-2007 08:20 AM

Good luck!

MouseWife 10-29-2007 12:08 AM

Oooo, I just wanted to step on here and send the Bear and the Goon some really big hugs and lots and lots of pixie dust for good luck!!

{Oh, and I'm sorry if your nick name is Sub instead of Goon, I just thought it sounded good....}

lashbear 10-29-2007 12:26 AM

Back from the interview - it seemed to go really well. I researched the company before going and they semed pleasantly surprised when I told them all I knew about the corporate cards division (I was on the money, thank goodness).

My answers to the questions were good enough that none of the other panellists needed clarification.

I should know in 24 hours. :D

I won't mention the company yet, but I AM an EXpert at giving hints about such things. :p

alphabassettgrrl 10-29-2007 12:34 AM

Excellent news, bear! :) It's good form to research the company so you can intelligently answer questions and shows incentive and interest. Companies like that. :)

Express to America??? Excellent! Come play at Disneyland more. :)

Snowflake 10-29-2007 08:12 AM

I agree with iSm, return triumphantly to America!

I'll send some good new job vibes to you! Please wave a cheery hello to Stoat from the snowy one in San Francisco. I think of you both and the mouspods every time I go back to Japantown for some good eats.

If you take Lisa's job, I want pics of you in a LoT thong hoovering!
