I’d need to look over what they’re offering. I’m all about that green.

Well the job sounds interesting but I’ll need to have a better idea of salary and benefits first. Plus I don’t do weekends and evenings so you’ll need to confine the outbreaks of alien infidels to needing shooting between the hours of 9 am to 4:30 pm Monday to Friday.

Salary needs to be 6 figures, 4 weeks annual leave per year, plus ADO’s would be good. Vehicles and weapons all provided and I assume you launder the uniforms for us?

Sorry, too many demands on my time already as a Temporal Incursion Defence Consultant.

I am already chronically overworked.

So you’re either a Lunarian or a Martian? 😃

(Just practicing for my interview)

When can I sign up? Even if I am only an admin or something I would LOVE it. Gimme gimme gimme.

> A possible deal-breaker for me would be the inability to tell anyone what I do for a living. I’d be constantly lying to my friends and family about a big part of my life. It’s for the good of the planet, but I’m not sure if I, personally, would be able to deal with it.

That’s also part of why I’d be at the accounting department. Have you ever met an accountant at a party and asked for details of what they do? 🙂

In a New York minute!

I’d also volunteer to go on the Mars mission, even if I knew I wasn’t coming back. Maybe science would like to know the affects of space and other planets on the old and crotchety. 😉
