Serta is teaming up with Trump Home to get the Counting Sheep back to work, by creating Serta’s Counting Sheep for Hire contest. Ever since the comfy Serta mattress arrived on the scene, the sheep have been out of work! So the Donald has taken it upon himself to get the sheep back to work.
Now through August 13, 2010, submit your idea on the perfect job for the sheep (100 words or less) and you will be entered to win a Trump Luxury Suites Getaway in Las Vegas! The first 50 entrants each week will receive a limited edition Trump Home Counting Sheep plush toy. 3 finalists will be chosen each week for 3 weeks, and the final voting will be up to the public as to who wins the grand prize. The last day to enter is 8/13/10 and grand prize winner voting starts 8/16/10.
As added incentive to check out this contest, Serta has given me 1 Serta Comforter to give away to one of you!
What am I giving away?
1 Winner Will Receive a White Serta Down Alternative Comforter (King or Queen size)

Dear Mr Trump,
I highly recommend that the sheep be considered for employment as pals for abused and neglected kids that are currently living in the foster care system. These kids have been through a lot and the sheep can give them comfort as well as teach responsibility.
Thanks for the consideration.

I entered my job for the sheep was to wait on all the wonderful people sleeping on the serta mattress, tuck in corners, bedmaker, mint leavers they have nothing else to do
My job was the “You’re Fired” sheep:
Dear Mr. Trump,
I am sure that you could use a little help sleeping at night, as you’re job is quite stressful. You have to fire so many people in what seems to be a rude (or some would say just stressful) way. It is my opinion that you could use a “You’re Fired” sheep to help you count your sheep at night.
Sincerely Yours,
You’re Fired
PS, Sleep well tonight.

I suggested they be added to the company for inspiration after reading some Donald Trump quotes about his thoughts on passion and energy.
I think we should have the sheep count up the unemployed americans we have so that we can get an accurate number and get them back to work just like the sheep.
I subsribe to your emails
Should be added to the company as inspirational speakers. Trump believes in passion and energy

I retweeted the give-away! does that count?
I suggested that Mr. Trump hire the sheep for a position in the PR department. Also, when shearing season comes around there should be enough wool to knit a pair of socks…He has a warm heart so maybe he has cold feet :)

The sheep are in charge of fluffing pillows, folding down blankets and leaving those little chocolate truffles on the pillows of Trump Tower patrons every night. Just make sure they’re actually leaving actual truffles and not something that can be mistaken for a truffle.

I recommend that the sheep be used as soft plush ottoman’s to rest his tired feet upon.
I suggested the sheep help guests get the rest they need to have a successful day

The job I recommend for his company are to provide lullabies & sweet dreams to all is employees who are overly tired and need peaceful sleep. The lullabies should help relax the other employees & give them the rest they so long for during their hard day of work!

My idea was to have the counting sheep keep track of inventory in the pro shop, or rent them out as caddies to carry the golf clubs and keep track of the score!
