Found this job on JournalismJobs.com today, my favorite place to surf around for jobs I'll never have in cool places I'll never live.Apparently, the St. Kitts-Nevis Observer (in the Caribbean, natch) is looking for a senior writer. The job qualifications are as follows:
Must be able to supervise others, a proven writer, be a team player, good news judgment and of good moral character and have a record of stability. No drug users please.
The successful candidate will have at least 10 years experience as a Journalist with supervisory skills. Please do not apply if you are not a good writer, have a good record of stability and is unable to commit to at least two years of employment,or not serious. Only qualified applicants will receive a reply.
Sounds like they've had some trouble finding good help. But seriously, they offer a car, housing, and a modest salary. They also ask that you not be "fussy" when tools and supplies are "not as readily available" as in the U.S.
Truly, all I need is a beach and a palm tree. A hammock (make that two trees). And an umbrella (just in case). And just look at those headlines. I bet there's never a dull day . . .

LOVE those headlines. My dream job used to be writing for the Weekly World News (RIP). Maybe I should turn my focus to the Observer. :)
With the occasional hurricane and Vespa crash to spice things up! Just come see me at the beach, but don't even contemplate moving there. No.
It is a pretty funny ad. In that tragic, small town way.
Can you tell I have small-town-itis?
You never know, maybe your husband will decide he's like the tropical life once the kids are off at college. Or maybe your rockstar/model son will jet his parents to St. Kitts the next time he has a gig on the island.
That's some front page.
