You want a webmaster, right?

You want a webmaster, right?

I’ve been looking through job listings lately, um, because I dont have one now and came across this description for a webmaster …

“While performing the duties of this job the employee is regularly required to sit; use hands to finger, handle, or feel and reach with hands and arms. The employee is frequently required to talk or hear. The employee is occasionally required to stand; walk; climb or balance; stoop, kneel, crouch, or crawl and taste or smell. The employee is occasionally required to lift up to 50 pounds. The vision requirements include: close vision, distance vision, peripheral vision, depth perception and ability to adjust focus.”

Why the hell would I have to climb or balance? I’m used to sitting on my ass all day. I guess this is more of a circus webmaster position or something. It also mentions stooping, kneeling, crouching, crawling, tasting and smelling. Why dont they just say, “you can’t be fucking handicapped”. That’s basically what they are saying, without actually saying it. They actually start off saying that they will accommodate handicapped people and then go on to say that you need to be able to jump through rings of fire.

I’d actually like to go to the jobsite and see what the work environment is like … by the way, if you want a job where you stoop, kneel, crouch, crawl, taste and smell, as well as, balance and crawl, this is the job for you.
