WOW! Now that's a job I've aspired to my entire life, and
never realized it.
Director of Fun. Fantasticly intriguing possibilities.
Do you think they offer a degree in it- BOF- Bachelor of Fun ?
Or a Master of Fun ?
Jules I envy you!
...maybe tomorrow I'll propose that my employer create a
similar position, and I'll be glad to volunteer to fill it...
I think this list needs a rotating annointed Director of Fun, too.
Things have been glum enough with the "down" results in almost all
events this year, the doping wars, and so on. Rotating Directors
to serve 4-week stints.
Director of Fun, yeh- that's the ticket.
...not making fun of Jules, just amazed at the novelty of the job
title...
