Looking For A Job in the Fishing Industry?

Looking for something to do?  The MAN got you down?  Surely there must be a reason for you to be unproductively wasting your time reading this.

Thought it was somewhat interesting that I had two job emails pop up in my inbox yesterday.  No, they weren't soliciting me, they were simply part of email lists I subscribe to.

First off to all you Pennsylvanians...the PA Chapter of Trout Unlimited needs bodies.  Like not anybodies...but people to run importantish sounding stuff.  With titles that sound eminently powerful to boot.  I can't fathom such responsibility, however once the PATU needs a self-absorbed, tenkara slinging, social media maven with mediocre writing and even worse people skills on their staff, I'm in!  

PA Council of Trout Unlimited is looking for nominations for officers for the Executive Committee

Positions are: President, Vice Presidents (2), Regional Vice Presidents (6), Secretary, Treasurer, and National Leadership Council Representative.

For a description of all positions please visit the patrout.org website. If you would like to be nominated or would like to nominate someone for one of these positions please email your nomination to Samantha Kutskel (c-skutskel@state.pa.us) by August 1st. All nominations will be announced on the patrout.org website by August 19th, and an announcement will be sent to all chapter presidents. Voting for officers will take place at the annual fall meeting October 1st.  If you have any questions please contact Samantha.

I'm sure there's more out there with a little sleuthing. Like I said, these just meandered my way and felt like sharing.  Yeah, I'm nice like that.

The point of this post? Beats me, I just wanted to write something about fishing today...and I'm holding out some of better stuff for tomorrow.  You know, for that annoyingly recurring post I write.


P.S....note the new Google+ icon hovering over thar on in the left margin. For you Stevie Wonders out there, it looks like this:

If you're already playing in that sandbox and we aren't already "circled," give it a click. Especially if you're hot...and not yet ANOTHER dude...into fishing.
