Hire Tori’s helping hands!
11 Sep
We saw a little message from our hilarious friend Tori LaConsay yesterday that we thought we should pass on:
Hey there!
If you’re still in Atlanta or any surrounding areas, I would like to pick up some of your most tedious, menial or just plain weird or grossest odd-jobs from here until the end of the year.
I’d hoped I can pick up at least one odd job a day or a few a week – and chronicle what I’m doing for all to see on a blog. The weirder the job, the better. I’d also hoped that I could make an average of $20.00 a day (or more) between now and the end of the year. Hire me…I’ll do just about anything as long as it’s legal…and spread the word. I’ve got references, I’ve got time and I know you have something you’ve been dreading to do.
Forward this message to your friends, too! Take me to the limit!As you may know, I work as a freelance writer, designer, and in the film/tel. industry. I’m also the daughter of a pecan farmer, so I’m no stranger to manual labor. I’m down with alphabetizing, filing, cleaning, organizing, scanning photos, grooming your dog (I groom mine), reading a newspaper to Grandma, or changing adult diapers, for that matter. And let’s face it, I’m a big’un, so I could stand to lose a few pounds in the process.
Why am I doing this? I guess you could say that the industry’s been rough on me this year, so I wanted to try a little experiment – a somewhat down-and-out 27 year-old’s take on the good old-fashioned lemonade stand entrepreneur. And, of course, I want it to be funny. Really funny, so that’s why I’m hoping you’ll have something bizarre for me to do. But I’m trying to make dough, too…so anything is negotiable.
I’m kinda excited about this idea.
So hit me with your odd jobs!!! I’ll start as soon asap!
You’ll be able to read about her rotating variety of short-term employment on her new blog Lemonade Standoff, but in the meantime, rack your brain for all the necessary but undesirable tasks you could underpay Tori to do and contact her! Personally, I think with her glasses on she could totally pass for Sarah Palin…

I love her already. She’s been emailed.
Oooh. I’m emailing the craigslist folks right now.
Thanks for sharing my venture with your good readers, christa t!
Yay! The internet works in real life!
‘..as soon asap’, great got it! I’m adding that to my list of acronyms that people sometimes say part of before using the acronym.
My list, so far, includes such gems as ‘for your FYI’ and ‘FTA to appear’ (fail to appear to appear).
You overlook one typo and you get listed. Excellent!
Our commenters are ruthless.
I do love you all, dearly.
But really, you were on to something. “As soon as ASAP” should be sweeping the nation immediately.
The best part is that Tori is cute, looks cute working, AND won’t steal your shit!
