More amusing than anything else, but I thought I'd share. I was scrolling through job applications in my spare time and came across a posting for a "Part Time President." It's for a group of professional cleaners and while I think President/Owner is their over-the-top pretentious way of saying Team Member, they don't explicitly say that.

I'm seriously tempted to take them at their word. Put on my best suit, make a budget for their next fiscal year, give them names of people I want on my team, negotiate benefits, and salary among other things. They want me to run the company on $35,000 a year? I think that kind of gig should net a few extra bucks, don't you?

Best case scenario: They appreciate my unmitigated gall and offer me a proper gig. Worst case scenario (But still quite a fun one!): I get to watch them uncomfortably explain that presidents are a dime a dozen at their company and owners don't own anything.
