That's a rather unique set of requirements. Was the job description written after a candidate was selected. I don't know. I'm just asking.

Teach a class and, oh, answer the phone, will you? Part-time? That was bizarre. And at a level 10, it doesn't even pay anything.

(What Anthropology class would you teach?)

What? No obligatory line about "all other duties as may be assigned?" What kind of job description is this?

(I'm wondering also why "preach & lead singing" wasn't included in the list of duties...)

Don't forget the part about maintaining the Oral History Transcripts. What kind of journal would you advertise a position that has all of those various duties?

Who does the Center for Oral History belong to? History or Anthro? (Actually, it sounds like it would be a good job except for the teaching component, just unsure how it would work part-time.)

It sounds to me like LVN would be an ideal candiate for this position. She's asking the right questions.

Except I'd have to have a fake name and a really good disguise.

(Cool anthro course on the culture of message boards.)
