As I continue freelancing and working on projects while I spend time with my family, I am also job hunting. Apparently, so is my close-to-retirement father.

Thanks, Dad, for pointing this out to me. If as many people are excited about Barack Obama’s new job as it seems they are, this might be the best opportunity ever. Not to mention that the inital application is exceedingly simple. I hope for my dad’s sake that they’re looking for an engineer who designs water systems for a cabinet position. I wonder what kind of boss Barack Obama would be — I’ve already had the best boss ever, but I won’t discourage my dad from working with Mr. President-Elect until I know more.

Good luck to the hopefuls!
