I can’t believe I didn’t see this the first time around, but:

No one’s applied for the chauffer position.

My qualifications:  
I drove pickups, 2 1/2 ton and 5 ton trucks around Korea for 9 years. I also drove my own car for 2 years. Never had an accident. Came close (daily) but never an accident.

You’re hired, **Fugazi**! Anyone who can drive here and not get killed has my respect (these people are crazy when they get behind the wheel!:D)

Afterall, you’ve made the “frontpage” now.

You know, I remember when this office really was **something**. We didn’t need miniskirts and man-cleavage in **my** day. Now **Astroboss’s** old man– **Astrobastardboss** –he could run an office, let me tell you. I’m going to go sit down at my desk now. I found a crossword puzzle. If Astrobossboy isn’t too busy working (ha, like what he does could be considered **work** ), he could make sure I had some ice tea. Long Island IceTea.

I’m waiting.

So this is what AstroBozo does at his “job.” Oh, you kooky, zany, wacky kids.

Can I be the dissaffected collage student intern? I’ll hang around the office doing odd jobs and making sarcastic comments. I’ll do anything asked, but there’s no garentee it will be done well, on time, or even at all.

I have long legs and decent cleavage and love wearing skimpy dresses. I am a woman of loose morals and to be sincere I can’t type. In my last job I got the pink slip when the boss’s wife walked in when boss and I were “working overtime”. Do you think you can find me a place in your organization? Do I have to send my C.V.? It has plenty pictures. 😉

Frickin’ poo man. Here I thought we were finally free of that as… er… nice boss Astroboy. I guess it’s back to the grind well not me anyways as I’m not female and I won’t be doing any grinding since I don’t hold a position of authority…
