Job Description

A little over 4 years ago I decided to make my part time job into a full time job.  I did not have to apply, but the PR department said it would send up a job description anyway (when it had time).  Well it came today and I thought I would share it with you:

It seems like a lot now, but it is still worth every bit of salary I get.  I do love my job and think there is not a job in the world that would fit me better.  I hope the kids think so also.

Have a wonderful, full, happy day and may you get tons of bonuses.
