Help Wanted at Grassroots Motorsports

Oops, I jumped to a conclusion there. Well then, it's Mr. Baxter.

would this require relocation?

I'd LOVE to have a job at GRM. I'm sure it beats working at Publix

Oh, Snap!
(somebody gave me the honor, so I figured I'd pass it on)

Miataman86, why not write up a sample article and try out?

Thanks, everyone, for the interest in the position. Consider this post to be a "bump" for the weekend crowd.

Starting a sentence with "and" is more likely to filter you out than being a huge monster.

When used sparingly, starting a sentence with a conjunction is a useful literary device to highlight the sentence by making it stand out.

Oh Snap!

But* you should listen to your high school English teacher unless you can copy everything else Hemmingway was able to get away with.

Funny thing, though—Tim and I are about to go out and put a new Grand Cherokee Overland Summit through its paces...

For this I'd fire you and be looking for two staffers. You're not going testing anything with "Tim", you're going testing with "Dad", or "my father" if you want to keep your job in my fantasy world !

I grew up in a family business. It is better for all involved for names to be used versus relationships, in the context of business IMO. "I'm going on a test drive with Tim." = legitimate business. "I'm going on a test drive with dad." = What kind of 2-bit operation is this?

^exactly. At work he's Tim, my boss.

Have you ever considered opening a satellite branch in Connecticut?

I'm in pa. Maybe split the difference. Northern NJ close enough for you?

But* you should have paid attention to your high school English teacher when she wrote Hemingway on the chalkboard with one m, not two.

*self-satisfied supercilious sarcasm scrawled socially

Oh lord, the penultimate dream job for a car scribbler. Or should I have said "apex"?

Nice! I should have said F. Scott Fitzgerald.

But* I'm not applying for the job. And maybe I meant Mariel. So there.

what's a Hemmingway?

But* Mariel is Papa's granddaughter, so you'd still spell it with one m.

*alliterative awesomeness always attributed accurately and appropriately

Loving latest literary lampooning.

And did I mention that this board rocks more than any other in the world?

Define "average" photography skills.

Average for a photographer, average for a hobbyist or just plain old average?

Pity I probably can't afford to take this position.

Boy I wish.

Plain old average.

I have that. And I have my own equipment. No L lenses, but I can shoot more than snapshots and am always willing to learn more.

Well I did used to own a photography studio, but writing for TV for 12 years obliterated my ability to write coherently. My college writing professor would have been horrified! Why commas were thrown in for breath pauses instead of grammer issues...the horror of it all!

unnecessary comas arent nearly as bad as "UNNECESSARY QUOTES"...one of my favorite literary faux-pas

If this is the penultimate dream job, what's the ultimate dream job?
