Before the CTO, you might want to get a CPO (Chief Proofreading Officer).

"Let’s face it, only a fraction of your day is spent on the tasks and projects that directly effect your bottom line." - http://zirtual.com/how-it-works

It should be "affect". Personally, I'm looking for a C3PO (Chief Proofreading, Pudding and Panties Officer) because I like for my people to multitask.

Yep, you caught me I got confused on effect & affect - guess i should open a whole new position for it. Though the idea of someone watching over our pudding & panty operating does sound appealing since that is a large part of our operations out here ;)

Perfect! It just so happens that I am available for the newly-formed C3PO position at your company. My comment was actually BOTH a means of creating a position specifically tailored for myself, AND my application for said position. If you hire me, your proofs shall always be read, your pudding shall always be warm, and your panties shall always be clean and pressed.

I remember an interview, from long ago, with Peter Sellers, who played Chief Inspector Clouseau in "The Pink Panther" film series. He said something to the effect (<--!!!) that he didn't wait around for jobs in Hollywood to become available. Instead, he created situations out of which roles tailor-made for him would come into existence. In other words, he did what it took to make jobs for which he was the best choice. From that, I now have the philosophy of "One Job, One Applicant".

Lol, thank you for being funny :) This thread has brightened my day - and stirred up a serious desire for a pudding cup.
