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.
