From Charmin, $10,000 to meet people in Times Square toilets
Want to earn $10,000 working in Times Square this holiday season? No, no. Not that way! Rudy
Giuliani cleaned all that up.
P&G’s Charmin toilet paper has a different job for you. The company is looking for five “Charmin Ambassadors” to work in its portable rest rooms in Times Square this holiday season.
The people must be “super-fun” and “enthusiastic.”
The job description: “Greet and entertain bathroom guests. Then blog about the experience. All candidates must really, really enjoy going to the bathroom.”
Except for the blogging part, I think my 15-month-old would be perfect for the job.

[...] Posted by anniegirl1138 on October 27, 2009 This is something The Bloggess would get picked to do because she is weberatti and because she believes public washrooms are zen zones, but apparently Charmin is looking for unknowns to spend the weeks leading up to Christmas manning their Grand Central Station washrooms and then blogging, tweeting and otherwise letting the known universe in on the wonderliciousness of it all.

Except for the blogging part, I think my husband would be perfect for this job. He always manages to entertain me with the goings on in our bathroom…much to my dismay.
