      <![CDATA[A few glaring, imprudent omissions from your job description:<br>
<br>
- Regular commenters need not apply, no matter how many 'likes' you average per thread.<br>
<br>
- Must be comfortable with being inundated with poo poo/pee pee jokes on a daily basis.<br>
<br>
- Big time, major, extra, MEGA points for reporters that make it a point to move their bowels at home (or the courthouse) rather than at the office.<br>
<br>
- Again, regular commenters need not apply ('regular' meaning more than one comment per forever).<br>
<br>
- Must know how to spell 'Connecticut'.<br>
<br>
- Those applicants attaching the sparkling clean results of a battery of recent STI tests will move to the front of the line.
