Crazy needs a j-o-b

Aww, honey. We all go through dry spells! I’m sure it has NOTHING to do with the bad press you got from your last job and your last relationship where you almost took down that internet mogul and then sold his shit online. Employers don’t really pay attention to the internet. I’m sure everyone just assumes you’re busy.

Here’s my question though: can a person with a history of so many scandals, lawsuits and restraining orders even HAVE references on their resume? Liam Donnelly, Patricia O’Hagan, John Stubbs, Neil Boyd, Michael Morgan, Gurmant Grewal… I mean, even your current employer referred to you in the press as “nine miles of bad road.” (What does it say about me that I’m still friends with most of my exes and bosses over the years?)

Most interestingly, The Tyee points out that scandal is actually in many ways the  Marsden famly business: “Her father, Claude, was a high school teacher who in 2000 had his teaching license suspended after admitting to an inappropriate relationship with a 16-year-old student.”  Much as one hates to ascribe human feelings to the Marsdenbot, somebody’s obviously working through some serious issues — and not very effectively.

Oh, but in case it wasn’t clear, good luck with the job hunt! (And thanks for reminding me, I must remember to ask my former colleague Michael Morgan if he’ll be a reference for me!).
