Not to poke fun at the current economic situation or the recent downfall of WaMu, but I have to share a recent blog post at MSN Money - The best temp gig in history.

WANTED: Top executive for train-wreck bank about to be seized by federal regulators. Must be able to look busy while FDIC sells business from under you. Previous experience with angry shareholders sitting on worthless stock a plus. Perks: $7.5 million hiring bonus and $11.6 million cash severance.

This obviously sheds light on WaMu’s recent CEO, Alan Fishman, who spent 3 months on the job to earn nearly $19 million.

Not a bad gig. Where can I apply?
