Call To Duty: Become Me For A Year

As some of you know, and the rest of you will after Monday, I am going to take the next year of my life and study economics in the southern Swedish city of Lund in pursuit of a masters degree. With any major life change there are certain things one will miss about their current station Of course my family I will miss, my colleagues I will miss, my social circles of friends and acquaintances I will miss, the city (Fort Collins) I will miss, etc. Now, while I can deal with my own departure (as it's my doing) I've been trying to devise a plan to ease the burden of my absence on others. Today it came to me....enlist someone to become me for a year.

That's right. Today is the official launch date of the 'Become Me For A Year' campaign. The ideal applicant, upon selection, will be ushered into my world for a no holds barred orientation into the world of Jeff. During your orientation you will meet new people, be presented new opportunities, and get a taste of life as though you were me (even if just for a single year). Upon successful completion of the orientation program, and upon my late August departure you will in fact become Me for a full year. Our whole lives we spend wondering what it would be like to be someone else, well, here's your chance! Don't let it slip you by!!

The ideal candidate will have some (if not all) of the interests and skills below:

Interests:

- yoga, economics, bad jokes, tea/coffee (at non-corporate coffee shops), idea propagation, public speaking, the great outdoors, writing, reading, random conversation, hiking, traveling, visual arts, sushi, new york style pizza, my famous homemade margartitas, summer cookouts, spin class, 2-3 day beards, slack lining, brewskies with buddies or some vino with the danes, political stump speaking, opinionated banter, and most importantly a love of Fort Collins.
Skills:

- Ability to organize groups of people for events like 'brewfest' pouring teams and 'got carbs' challenges.

- Ability to make bad jokes or 'questionable comments' without first thinking about what you're saying (also known as putting one's foot in mouth).

- Ability to think outside the box (unless that box of course can be morphed into some great new idea).

How To Apply:

Send resumes, videos, letters, blog posts, whatever media you want (the more creative the better) to me at my email meforayear@gmail.com

The application deadline will be July 27th. At that point the eligible candidates will go through a fast paced interview process after which a final selection will be made. Good luck everyone!!
