Well then, Harlan Barker, regional manager of distribution for Yellowbook, has a job for you. Says Harlan in an email blast:We are currently looking for both individuals and groups to help us deliver our new yellowbook telephone directories in Seattle and the surrounding areas of Kent and Renton beginning October 16th, 2008 and lasting for about 1 month.You might think that these carpet-bombings of heavy, useless, unasked-for, yellowy nuisances that clutter up entryways and irritate shopkeepers would be done by clandestine operatives under cover of night. But no, says Barker:We work with individuals, schools, churches and organizations of all orientations, shapes and sizes. Our workers find the work to be a great source of exercise and can be a good team and relationship building endeavor. You get all of these benefits while making money for either yourself, an organization or charity. Examples of groups we have worked with in the past include; churches, boy/girlscouts, school sports teams, senior dance, bands, choirs, cheerleading squads, fraternities, sororities and many more. If there is any need for money in your organization working with yellowbook is the way to earn it!So if “$0.25 for each address delivered to plus $0.05 for each book delivered” sounds like reasonable reward for pissing off everyone in the city, give ol’ Harlan a call at 1-800-232-2374. No one will thank you.
