*Political cartoon caption accompanying sketch of a scowling, sinister Richard Nixon.
Ever on the lookout for opportunities over the next hill and seein' if I'm as competitively marketable as the whippersnappers (I know just how McCain feels), I was searchin' Craig's List for a new career and found an ad offerin' a way outta this rat race (in case Ultra-Tax doesn't cure ever'thang for me). A West Texas outfit wants an AP/AR Administrator (that's accounts payable/receivable for you not-in-the-know types) and I've got the the basics cold -- debits by window/credits next to break room. We're compatible -- they're "Rapidly-growing" (I got six new clients last season) and "Cutting-edge" (I quit DOS over two years ago). Candiate must be: "Energetic" (hmm...well...), "Detail-oriented and focused" (you know that Pam Anderson video? I focused on ever' last detail.), "Well-organized" (my stock market losses are steady; consistent), "Ability to prioritize" (if it can be done tomorrow, I do it no later), "High school diploma" (aced it), "Excellent computer skills" (keyboard hotdogger on Radio Shack TRS-80).
Two problems: (1) What is it exactly that administrating is (post if you know)? Sounds kinda medical, so I asked chiropracter client's opinion -- said "May be like my adjustments" (pop in adjusting entries here, massage P&Ls into the black there, wrench a negative balance sheet back into positive socket). (2) Ad states "Interpersonal skills a must." Got a psychologist's opinion on that (1980/$75): She: "You exhibit a marked, dysfunctional inability to initiate, nurture, and sustain viable, significant interpersonal relationships." BB: "Say what?" She: "You can't make friends."
Anyway, no doubt they'll grab me up and I'll be adminnin' right and left any day now. Wish me luck!
