I am still undecided if I want to go back to work. I know I want to work but I am fortunate enough to be super picky. My lovely bride conned me into going down to the State where they were having a job fair. I started the hoop jumping process, but I am not sure if I want to work in such a restrictive environment. The money is not bad and if they will let me take a leave of absence for the hike then I might. If they say no, the answer will be pretty easy. They only other job that has expressed any interest in me is mortuary pickup service. “Bring out your dead…”

A few years ago, a friend of mine posted on Facebook he was looking for extras for a movie he was shooting. A short story, even shorter, my family got up early the following day and played Zombies in a western movie. It was a great experience and we had a wonderful time. I enjoyed it so much I thought I might like to continue doing some part-time acting in the future.

Fast forward to the other day. I was looking for jobs through a website called Indeed. Indeed is an online “want ads” with hundreds of job postings. With my interest in doing bit parts in movies, I decided to answer one of the listings. I sent in my resume and told them I had been in one movie and really enjoyed the process and would like to do more. I hit send and I was on my way to being the next Marion Morrison (Google it). Upon further examination of the information on the listing, I am reasonably certain this was site advertising for porn actors/actresses. I guess it’s good work if you can find it.

I immediately contacted Indeed and asked them to do whatever voodoo they can do to make my application go away. In response, they stated that there is nothing they can do. I guess I am screwed. I don’t anticipate any job offers but just in case, maybe I should come up with a porn name. I am open to suggestions. Just sayin’…
