Position Open

Highlight of my week was a job offer from my friends Shannon and Paul, as follows:

Dear Officer Candidate:

I am writing to notify you that there is a position open as Commander of our small child. The pay is not competitive and the hours are long, but the company is small (one baby, one flat-coat retriever, one smelly cat) and therefore, quite manageable.

Perks of this position:

Rooming comes with PS3 gaming system and includes newest version of popular games, Madden '10 and Gran Turismo (Paul must have written this part if viewed as perk)

Homemade chocolate chip cookies

No push-ups...unless you want to

Japanese-engineered vehicle to drive-- remarkably similar to the one you sold (she has a red CRV)

Sex and the City DVD Box set on hand

A multitude of baby hugs and giggles

This job sounds so tempting. I miss being around people who love me. And Shannon is an excellent baker and very good company. I met aforementioned baby right after she was born and am sure she will be remarkable.

Side note: Benefit of the doubt-- If boys hide your laundry bag, pull on your hair, make fun of your shoes, and kick you in a sneaky but not too hard way maybe it just means they need female attention and you're their only hope of getting it.
