It?s that time again. It happens every few months. Something goes a little funky at my office and suddenly, I start wondering if this is the right job for me, or at least the right place.
And while I?m not so unhappy that I?ll leave right now, it?s fun to dream about what I?d do instead. That?s where the Sun Times Business Classifieds come in handy. From pyramid schemes to bars, outright scams and vending machine companies, the Sun Times offers the disenchanted office worker myriad opportunities to get out into the word, typically in a blue-collar situation.

Carlotta flipped through the paper, crumbing a scone all over it. This ad caught her eye. Mainly because of the large dough factor.
?Sweets, what?s hah-lall? Is it like Popeye?s?? she asked her boyfriend the CPA, diligently going through his father?s tax return at the dining room table.
He barely heard her question, but heard her ridiculous mispronunciation and added it to the mental tally of all of her embarrassing social mistakes. Like the time she wore a very deep-cut dress at his company?s summer party.
?Huh-lall. It?s like Kosher but for Muslims,? he said.
Carlotta moved on to the ad about the salon for rent. ?Hey, can I cut your hair later??

Beverly highlighted the ad immediately. Not because she was a trained mechanic, but because she always thought about this concept she had for a mechanic shop. It would employ female mechanics. It would not smell like an ashtray. There would be a nice waiting room with fresh coffee and good magazines. Maybe she would even open a little café ®ext door. With wireless.
Beverly didn?t even own a hammer, preferring to nail holes for pictures with the sturdy heel of a $700 Clergerie pump.
