If you’re like me, there’s a point(s) in your day when you take a glance at the clock and sigh.

No, you didn’t daydream through the 3 p.m. meeting and suddenly come back to it two hours later. It’s only 2:15.

And, yes, lunch really only ended 75 minutes ago. A trip to the other side of the building for a snack would be delicious, though.

If you’ve had these thoughts, then you probably have also had this thought:

Is there a job that isn’t like this?

There are probably a few: Actors, bull riders (not rodeo clowns), Modern Warfare 2 testers, the guy from the Dos Equis commercial (you know, the most interesting man in the world — Click that link if you don’t know) and ninjas.

So I did a little research. Turns out that people who want to be actors are having a hard time finding an “in.” Bull riders, well, I watched that plot line on Friday Night Lights about the bull rider, and although he got Tara for a while, I’m not sure it’s worth the trade — his life wasn’t exactly “sweet.” The Dos Equis guy would be the obvious choice, but I bet my ass he was born into that money.

That leaves ninjas.

Why not? I could train in the art of nimbleness, cunningness, martial artsness and sweetness. If I invested three hours of training every night after work, who knows what could happen in five, six years. Right?

Wrong. The picture explains.

Times are tough for ninjas, too. Even unangry ones.

In case you can’t read, here’s the text of the posting (verbatim):

I have tried the regular walk of life jobs and they are not working for me… I have recently been fired from my 2nd job in the past year, ever place I go seems to think that I have anger issues. They are WRONG.

So I am going back to the dark arts… I am going back to the way of the Ninja and am currently seeking employment. I come equiped with my own swords, throwing starts etc… this is not a game to me, it is the only thing that I know. I only have one rule… I wont target my own family. (im okay with women and children) I would prefer a bodyguard type of position but I understand that times are hard and you have to take what you can get. I would post a pic of me but that would be un-Ninja like… I would also post a resume, but again…. un-Ninja like. If you need my services contact me and i will provide you with a secure means by which to negotiate a price as we will be unable to meet in person…. Until then I will be sitting at home Playing Champions Online. ttyl

Sincerly the nina with no anger issues
