POSITION OPENING: The Woodstock Police Department has a job opening for part-time meter attendant. Please contact the Chief of Police.
So maybe you’re kind of paranoid to begin with — you know, you think people don’t like you or have something against you or just look at you funny or become abusive for no good reason — then this would be a really good job for you. Because. The reality will be that if you’re writing parking tickets it will be true that people don’t like you and you will no longer be clinically paranoid, just living a life based in the reality that you’re annoying and that people see you and make faces and start screaming, running to making excuses for not putting four little quarters in the meter.
But, you know what? The above job listing is a real part-time job opening with the Town of Woodstock and if you have a nice smile and the gift of gab and the ability to handle irate out-of-towners or locals who think you should cut them a break, have at it. It’s work and work is good. So is getting paid. See you out there. Cute tourist-friendly polo shirt, too.
P.S. Woodstock Early Birds have suggested GPS’ing the meter maid and sending out Tweets as to her ( or his) whereabouts. If this is all we have to worry about, life is good, yes?
