Seeking that spark? Mr. Banana Hammock don't got it.

That is right. No spark. No dazzle. "No shit?" you say. I'm in a new job and I don't find the time to write much anymore. But I am looking for a date, hopefully leading up to another date to my new job's X-mas party on December 3, or so I am led to believe, at some country club in VA (god help us my staff is arranging the DJ). I promise to be charming as always, and reasonably fit and sane. You be likewise. If I don't have to explain why a sibling of mine (before you meet her - the explanation is there) would deign to marry three Jasons I will be impressed (although it is a good story). Attached is a year-old picture of my youngest niece and me from last X-mas (not the same kind of party).

"I just wanted to say your posts are just about the only thing worth reading in the CL personals. I hope you have time to post more soon. You've been missed!"

My primary action item? You!

I was recently hired as a marketing manager at a firm even though I told them I wasn't a marketer, but I had some good ideas for marketing the firm. Which I do. However, when I was putting my thoughts to paper, it occured to me that one of the people on the marketing committee had a marketing background, and this person would probably be dissasified with my efforts as it lacked the jargon appropriate to a marketing plan. I started writing and thought I was a big phoney. But I thought I wasn't half bad. So I thought I'd write a craigslist ad. This is the result...

Envisioneer this potential partnership. I will be leveraging core competencies to redefine synergistic infrastructures in order to incubate impactful platforms for our potential frictionless interfacing. By utilizing cutting-edge models I can orchestrate intuitive deliverables that will enable high-end solutions to meet any unforseen challenges and take advantage of potential opportunities. My plan, architected to provide tighter integration and deeper collaboration, I will repurpose strategic content to enable you to recognize greater results from our potential collaboration, streamline efficiencies in the supply chain, and reduce costs. My "outside-of-the-box" thinking will have you shifting your paradigm, baby!

The word of the day is "legs."

New job and too busy to post lately. I've got the day off today and was contemplating the following question: "Do cheesy pick-up lines on craigslist work?" Probably not, but let us find out...

Why not come on over to my place and we can spread the word.

"I am not sure if you are looking for a female of a male. But yes, if this ad. for a female I can come out and exchange some topics. Coffee or tea and a walk is great exercise for the legs do not you think."

"oh baby. your ad is so incredibly alluring I just had to email you. you're
a real charmer. really, is that any way to reel the ladies in? I think a great many of us would find the whole leg spreading joke something of a turn off. Be just a tad more respectful please."

"perhaps you need to be posting to the men for men site."
