Remember when Holiday Boyfriend captivated your hearts a couple winters ago?  Well, it seems as though holiday boyfriend and girlfriend eventually became regular boyfriend and girlfriend, and now they’re back again, just in time for this holiday season!

WANTED: A JOB FOR MY HOLIDAY GIRLFRIEND (mission district)

Let me be clear. I want a job. But, I don’t really want a job.

I just want one for my holiday girlfriend.

Let’s recognize something. Getting laid off sucks, especially after you moved from Florida to California two years ago to work for a non-profit that does fantastic humanitarian projects that you truly believe in, and most especially after you welded together an entire conference (Exhibit A: http://architectureforhumanity.org/dlygadlive13) basically by yourself to help further fund previously mentioned organization/sinking ship. Then after getting complimented on how it was “the best one we’ve had yet” you were unceremoniously shitcanned.

Let’s recognize another thing. She’s awesome at community and communications management, great at fundraising with high level folks, has a solid understanding of operational flow (SalesForce and website handshaking etc), kicks ass at social media, event planning, plenty of other stuff and is tall and pretty.

She holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in architecture from accredited universities. She has worked in the service industry and AmeriCorps so she has a solid-as-fuck work ethic — she is not some softie who calls in “sick” because of bad weather or a hangover.

She’s also pretty OVER nonprofits at this point.

Interested? Here’s…

How it works if:
• You’re a JOB CREATOR: reply to this email with a description of said job. MUST be in San Francisco or the immediate Bay Area unless it is especially sweet (and we’re talking a Gigantic Cotton Candy™ smothered in local honey and gestating a mid-six figure salary kind of saccharine here)
• You’re a PERSON WHO KNOWS PEOPLE: reply to this email with the best form of contact for a person who is a JOB CREATOR.

Thank you all in advance.

(And yes, this is the original “holiday girlfriend guy.” Accept no substitutions.)

The Craigslist post seeking a holiday girlfriend that we told you about last week seems to have struck a chord in our city, with everyone popping out of the woodwork to weigh in on this clever romantic adventure.  While there have been plenty of  haters (see Insufferable Craigslist Bro Seeks “Holiday Girlfriend” on SF Weekly), others seem to tentatively be hoping that the whole thing works (Craigslist Holiday Boyfriend Looks For Love In San Francisco on HuffPost).  I wonder which way npr will rule?

Similarly, do a Craigslist search for “holiday girlfriend” and you’ll find several folks who just copied and pasted the original post as their own, hoping to score the same luck!

Whether our pal can actually find love for the holidays remains to be seen, but at this point we’re totally rooting for him.
