You forgot about being able to chase away the dark forces with a water gun or hair spray.

LOL. Excellent post. I'll be sharing it with others. Unfortunately your post is the most honest employment ad that I have ever seen. If yours was used there would be no applicants. Really, who in their right mind would go after that job. Yet, this is my career and, most of the time, I love it.

Shared this one at work.
It was copied and faxed to every unit in the house before I knew it. LOL. It is a fair job description.
