Can I just send you some doodles on a heart-shaped notepad and get paid a bunch of money?

[Basher]

I'd actually prefer to not have to send you the doodles. I like to save all the sheets on my heart-shaped notepad.

Is the job location-specific?

Phorbsie - tis I'm afraid. But we'd love to have you in Toronto! We're busy snazzying up the office with lots and lots of awesomeness if that helps

Mike - yes. But only if it's a 80's style crop top.
