A whole $12? Hmmm. I don’t know. I might have to think about it. The office of Czar doe sound like a lofty title. And it is tempting, the chance to work virtually, in my pajamas. I mean, “Planning and developing strategy around campaigns” for $12 an hour does seem fair, and maybe I shouldn’t complain... in times like these.

Yeah. I’m gonna apply. I mean, blogging qualifies me, right?
