My New Job

Having been unemployed for a while now (since July), I have been checking the classifieds in the BYU Daily Universe every day for decent jobs. Most ads are for pretty lame gigs like yard work or warehouse help. But last week I found an ad that I just couldn't pass up: Hot Air Balloon Crew. I called, spoke to the guy, and set up an interview for today at noon. Apparently this guy has just purchased a nine-man balloon for $80,000, and he needs a crew of helpers so he can take people for rides commercially. He will be the pilot, and the four-man crew will help him unpack, inflate the balloon, and get it in the air. Once airborne, the crew will chase the balloon in a truck, with the goal of being there (wherever "there" happens to be) when they land. Then the crew deflates the balloon and packs it up. 

The interview went well-well enough that I got an email from the guy a few hours later offering me a job!
