I think I can fit in both being Flirting Minister AND your PA, **dpr**. Because you know what? I’m good like that. And I’m not going to give up the chance to spend lots and lots and lots of time around you. 😃 How was the move, BTW? ---

I request a postion in the intelligence community perhaps in a liason position between State and the military Industrial Complex. See ,it’s probably the only chance I’ll ever have to use my degree in History/International Relations. Do you know how hard it is to get a job as a political risk analyst??!? Mainly because it’s a relatively high paying job where you are employed to **guess** about what is going to happen somewhere! So, I’ve got some actual experience and can use the legitimate position to start sowing the seeds for my worldwide crimnal enterprises… err, help starving children, yeah that’s it …children. ---

Wow! Am honored to serve under you. DAMN that slip of the tongue! ACK! Did it again! Meant under your command, of course 😃 I will do my best to ensure that none of your minions encounter boojums - I hate it when people softly and suddenly vanish away…and those darn bandersnatches. They’re a headache, but I think I can lick them. ---

Can I be an ambassador to random interesting countries? Or maybe chair of a fact-finding committee? Or Minister of Junkets?? How about a special investigator of various airports, cruise lines, and resorts?? It’s a need just crying to be filled, and I’m just the one to do it! I can be packed in 20 minutes!

A few days away from chat and you are totally forgotten! nyah! didn’t want to be in your government anyway! 😛 However, I could fill the post of Minister in charge of interesting foreign chocolate as the european representative…there’s obviously a need for it on this board!
