Must be a great job if it's a d_b.

 

No kidding. The posts just keep Cumming...

...

I'll show myself out

 

Someone had to say it.

 

Good one.

 

I'm sure there will be a spurt of applications.

 

Anything new on this?

 

I applied and heard back via email, Mr. Paglia said that the position has been filled.

 

Camille's husband?

 

So the search has climaxed, and the hiring process is in a refractory period.

 

Interested... interested... interested... and suddenly I lost interest.

 

Aaaaaand .... I'm done. Took a robust 15 minutes (or maybe 20?).
