Job Opening

I tried to get Non Birding Bill to apply for this so that way I could use him as my puppet to do my bidding and finally take complete control of the North American birding world but he flat out said "No! I will not be used in such a fashion!"

(oops, did I say the queit part loud again?) Anyway, interesting job available:
