We're Moving

The Take is no more. For most of you this is not news, considering the fact that the blog has been locked up for the last month or so, and even when it wasn't locked I was writing in it about as often as Zach Galifinakis shaves.

While I will be saying goodbye to Tim's Take, I'm not saying goodbye to a blog that is all my own. I've just decided to take the show elsewhere.

You can now find me here, ItsTheTimShow.com is the new address. Bookmark it. Love it. Visit it everyday, actually maybe not everyday - it's me we're talking about after all.

Tim's Take will still be here for as long as we can afford the rent, it's free, for you to enjoy. Treat it like a museum, a museum without a gift shop.

Ever Wonder What it Takes to be a Strip Club DJ?

Being out of work can be depressing. I can go for days without smiling.

One of the few things that actually cheers me up is searching for a job, not because I'm finding an endless supply of new opportunities though. Browsing jobs for Craigslist can put a smile on my face because they are both educational and entertaining.

Today, for example I found out that being a strip club DJ is apparently more than just playing "Pour Some Sugar on Me" and saying "Calling Roxy to the Stage..."

According to this ad for a DJ at an "upscale topless club" in the Inland Empire, experience is preferred and a headshot is required.

Headshot? Why would the DJ at a strip club of all places need a headshot?

I've never heard anyone say, "Don't go to Spearmint Rhino. I mean the girls are great but that DJ is one ugly son of a bitch."

Actually, I would think that the ideal place for a painfully hideous DJ would be a strip club because there are plenty of other things to look at besides the guy behind the turntables.

Today I will Brag About Not Having a Job

How's work going?

How's pretending to be busy while you are watching the game on CBSSports.com going? Did you get caught yet?

Did that kid who really doesn't know anything about basketball keep coming over to you and showing you his "upset bracket" for the office pool? Try your best not to hit him.

Don't keep the game minimized for too long or they'll turn the game off on you.

I bet you've got a conference call scheduled for right around the time when these first games will be reaching their dramatic finishes. That's got to suck. Really it does.

Oh employment! Always getting in the way of March Madness.

Guess what I'm doing. Did you guess yet? I couldn't hear you, Jim Nantz and Clark Kellogg were talking too loudly on my TV that is turned all the way up.
