I found the perfect job today! With a recent sharp decline in the number of items on my "to Do" list at work I've found myself more and more frequently mucking about online at Myspace and monster.com. Monster.com is usually pretty depressing. Everytime I find a job that sounds cool or interesting I'll get down to the bottom and they'll be some strange requirement that I don't meet. :o(

I found a few cool jobs today though--including this one:
