Sweet! I'm broadcasting this into space as we speak! I think Major Tom is thinking about a career change from a lost astronaut to an IT guy.

For anyone suggesting or misunderstanding that this is real, note the variety of typos, and the final line: "yes -- ok to transmit this posting into outer space."

[belovedcrown.livejournal.com]

I assure you that this is real. I work for the house myself and wanted to pass the info along.

[astevenson.livejournal.com]

yet, the typos are impressive. I'd personally never apply to a job where the HR department can't spell check their job listings.

[astevenson.livejournal.com]

i apologize for your mistake.

[belovedcrown.livejournal.com]

for my mistake? what mistake?

let me try again. i work for one congressional office. this is for another congressional office, also in the house of reps. they sent out the job listing to all current IT folks in all offices. I was broadcasting it here as a courtesy in case anyone wanted to apply.

you seem to have some sort of problem with that. why?

[astevenson.livejournal.com]

A variety of reasons:
1) there are better places to post job listings, and better still, if it's on craigslist, just leave the link, not the entire listing
2) it's the government! who wants to work for the most poorly organized IT structure ever?
3) it's poorly written, if you were to repost it in this feed, why not clean it up first?
4) IT'S A GOVERNMENT JOB.

i'll come up with more later if i have to.

Please...
