Opps my bad!!!! He's working for SLUSHO!

Friday, January 04, 2008

You can't drink just six...
Current mood: adventurous
Category: Jobs, Work, Careers

So I got a job offer, and it's everything I wanted. More money, more power, more creative freedom. I'd even have up to five people working under me, and you know how much I've always wanted underlings. One catch -- I need to move to freakin' JAPAN! The job is the V.P. of Marketing and Promotions for SLUSHO! brand "happy drink." Apparently it's all the rage in Asia. I'd be part of a team tasked with replicating the drink's popularity in the Western world. Here's a link to their most recent TV spot:

Hud would love it. They want us to come up with a more accessible angle to hook an American audience.

When I said I'd be willing to leave NYC for the new gig, I was thinking maybe Chicago or Toronto, maybe L.A. Japan is a whole other extreme. I'm not a particularly worldly fellow, and I'd definitely be in store for some major culture shock. But you know what? Maybe this is exactly the jolt my lame little life needs. A fresh start, and all the clich�s that go with it. I'm cautiously psyched. I told them I needed the weekend to think it over, but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna take it. I mean, I can't think of a good enough reason not to.

Nice find, this clears up a lot for all you nay-sayers who said he wasn't going to Japan because of Slusho (c'mon, you HAD to know that was coming Laughing

)

My Japanese friend Kuroki paid me off in Slusho once to settle a bet. That shit is delicious. I've been craving more ever since I tried it. Your job will be a piece of cake, Slusho sells itself. Please tell me you get a free lifetime supply or something.

Dude I just googled Slusho, did you know they are a subsidiary of some evil oil company called Tagruato? We both know how much you hate oil (you always say "no oil" when you order a hoagie), so you better turn down the job and stay here and live with me forever and ever.

Wow, what a big change. Definitely take the time to think it over, but it sounds like you're ready to go for it.

Vice President! Hell, a few years putting quality work on that product - and you'll have a huge resum� boost back here in the States. Someone your age, working as VP on an international product... people would be begging you to come work for them.

I hope you guys find a way to bring those to the movie theaters! I'm so tired of just "blue" and cherry.

And if it doesn't affect the flavor too much - maybe they could start making Slusho (Lite). Add Splenda instead of sugar. That would probably go over huge in markets over here.
