That's very parochial.

His behavior has toned down quite a bit since that story was written in 2004.

Jim, you realise you will have to report on the results.

Sure, why not? "Male" isn't one of the requirements in the job description. You have to be "willing" to grow a beard -- it doesn't say how successful you have to be.

I've become a west coast wimp.

Unless the entire world knows about it, how can they ever be sure they found the "best" candidate?

Isn't that the way things are done nowadays?

Good ol' Clark's. Back in the 1970's we used to think the poor bears were drugged.

Since this reminds me of something from another current thread, I have to ask: Do the job duties include treating hemophiliac royalty?

So is there broadband in there?

I always thought being a gate guard with broadband would be the perfect job. You'd have a guaranteed base income just for sitting there, plus whatever you earned from working online. And since I sit in this damned chair for about fourteen hours a day anyway, it'd just be free money.
