> In the process of looking at job listings, I have found a lot of funny or weird things. I look at every listed job, not just the ones I think I might be looking for, because I don't really have a particular type of job in mind, and most of the really good ones I've had in the past have been found in unexpected places. This also means you find out about jobs you never even knew existed, such as Staking Technician, which sounds like vampire-slaying but turned out not to be. Whatever it really was, it was boring enough that I can't remember the details. Another listing that cracked me up was Mudlogging Geologist, especially when I read the description. They started out by calling it an "exciting opportunity!" and went on to say that you would be counting different types of mud. In Wyoming. Somebody hold me back!

Today I found a job listing that even beats Mudlogging Geologist for weirdness. The museum of natural history wants ... wait for it ... a spider sorter. Now, no need to rush off to your school careers guidance person, kids! I'm about to tell you, right here at Rinkworks, what you will need for a fulfilling career in spider sorting. The ideal applicant, according to the ad, would have taken classes in spider biology taught by a professional arachnologist, and/or have completed the Colorado Spider Survey training workshop.
