Say "Yes"

I guess they also accept "si," "oui," "ja," and "hai."

What Do You Call Those Word Producing Type People?

Greatest disconnect between employer and job title.

Write On!

I personally find cheesecake one of the hardest foods to write on.

In It for the Long Haul

This pleases me for so many reasons.

Soup'd up Soups (Guest Signage: Matt DiDonna!)

When you're printing this big, spellcheck is not optional.

Poetry (Guest Signage: Jon Barnes!)

Who "not enjoy" haiku-y happy hour signs?

Upholding Upholstery Since 1853 (Guest Signage: Ryan Holquist!)

Above and Beyond! Lost and Found: Part 3

Nothing "bad" here; just a final installment of "Lost & Found Week" to remind us there is hope for humanity.

Lost and Found: Part 2

It's all in how you ask.

So Much Typos (Guest Signage: Will Rogers!)

Perhaps a fake, but a fun one none the less!

That's Just Rude (Guest Signage: Eileen Liang!)

He might look a bit smarmy, but this verges on slander!

Thank You for Not Standing (Guest Signage: Tamika Joy!)

You Can Count on Me?

I can't image how this ended up completely installed.

Slow News Day (Guest Signage: Matt DiDonna!)

I imagine there was a lengthy debate at CBS's headquarters as to whether to go with Syria or Scotch Tape to lead the "Breaking News." To be fair, they both start with "s."

Who You Gonna Call?!? (Guest Signage: Erica Johnson!)

This makes me smile for so many reasons. But if I have to pick a favorite, it has to be the "Falls Signage" categorization. 

(the lobster-claw hand is a close second)

Beauty Is in the Eye of the Beholder (Guest Signage: Ryan Holquist!)

"Heavenly gems" indeed, 

but I don't think we're admiring the same thing.

"False" Advertising

Well, in that case, thanks for including it.

Ringing Endorsement

A company unclear on the concept of leaving your customers speechless.

The Energizer Bunny of Sentences (Guest Signage: Erica Johnson!)

My biggest concern is that their customers appear unable to remember their own orders.

"Employee Theft" Redefined

A sign that combines mangled formatting, grammar, and definitions into one wonderful message.

Sleepin' on the Job, I Bet

I thought I had it bad.

The Real World

Kids: Get out of there and explore nature, preferably by visiting our website.

Sasha Baron Cohen's Next Movie: The Employer

This absurdly long job listing makes us wade through too much detail before delivering a wonderful punchline. For your sanity, just skip to the highlighted sections and enjoy random formatting and bad grammar.

Forget My Resume, Check Out My Hat

I imagine the interview process is slightly awkward.

So Little to Get Wrong

Simple: The meeting starts at 3:00 p.m. and ends at 5:00 p.m.

Here is the attached agenda:

At least they got the date right...

We'll Schedule the Meeting Tomorrow, I Swear...

An email blast from NYU that raises a serious question:

Is two hours of pastries and coffee really the best cure for procrastination?

Unclear on the Concept (Guest Signage: Chris Arter!)

This company seems confused about two things:

1. The meaning of their name.

2. The importance of faxing in 2013.

I Need Better Spam

What's in a Name?

Not the most creative store name, but it gets the job done.

It's a Dirty Job (Guest Post: Erica Johnson!)

And you think your job sucks?

Unreliable Reference

Perhaps I'm unclear on the concept. 

But I think that if you don't want HR contacting your personal references (not your past employers, mind you), you may have a bigger problem than a lack of employment.

Profiling

This raises a question: At what point in the polygamous process do you give up on trying to remember names and simply resort to ethnicity?

More is Better! (Guest Post: Matt DiDonna!)

This is what happens when a director of athletics with an inferiority complex realizes that several elite institutions -- including Yale College, Columbia College, and Wesleyan College -- have three L's in their names. 

Demonstrated Ability

Does my resume count?

I'll Take Two

"Daily Product" for an unknown price above $0.99? 

Who could ask for anything more?

Getting It Straight (Guest Signage: Kyle Heckman!)

Forget the typos, grammar issues, and lack of punctuation--let's talk alignment: 

You can't criticize someone's steering 

if you can't format a word document.

We're Gonna Need a Bigger Business Card

At least the requirements aren't too bad: just be willing to learn. Oh, I almost forgot: play an instrument, like children, and speak English and two kinds of Chinese fluently. That's a tall order coming from someone who created the word combination: "Please make sure to include, but not limited to, the information listed below in your email."

Restaurant Week Day 8: Word Play (Bonus!)

I got this:

Restaurant Week Day 7: Garnish This

All New Yorkers garnish bagels, right?

Restaurant Week Day 6: Dicey Adoption

I'll take two!

Restaurant Week Day 5: It Is NYC, After All

I know it's NYC, but that better be diamond-encrusted cheese! 

(This place has so much to offer that I decided to throw the side of cuscus in as a bonus.)

Restaurant Week Day 4: Top Veggie

When only the best will do.

Restaurant Week Day 3: Because the $X.99 Model Is So Cliche

It's not just the random price points that please me; it's the way the pricing is offset just enough to give the illusion that a medium cappuccino is over a dollar more than a large.

Restaurant Week Day 2: The Food Chain

I'm anti-cannibalism regardless of nationality. 

Restaurant Week Day 1: I Like My Salads Like I Like My Women

The following week will be devoted to daily posts detailing the wonder that is my new lunch spot. Enjoy.
