Job Opening!

Xyzzy · 2014-02-03, 04:21

We have a position open here at mersenneforum.org that needs to be filled.

We are looking for someone who has good "creative" visual skills. There is no need to know how to draw or do computer stuff beyond basic web surfing and email.

The job is one that has no schedule or timeline. It could be five minutes a day or 20 minutes a month.

A good sense of humor is required and knowledge of obscure trivia is a plus.

The pay is the same that regular moderators receive.

Please apply via PM.

Thanks!

What happens? Some gerbil/snake/etc left? Was fired? Died?

We would apply, but we are really bad with "creative visual" skills... We think you need someone younger... Sorry... OTOH, if you think we can help with something (like a punctual task, well defined), just say so, and we may be able to help. If not, we are not shy to say we don't know or are not able to fulfill...

I visit the forum t least three times a day.
My graphical skills are too tighted to the logical path, so maybe I'm not "creative" enough.
And I am not so young anymore (have I ever been?).
And my mothertongue is not English, so I might fail to get some word puzzles the right way.

But if you need someone strongly pursuing his mission, and GIMPS addicted since 1997, here I am: my time is actually shared among looking a job, advancing GIMPS projects and following Mersenneforum.

Is there any chance that the both of you want to work together on this incredibly awesome adventure?

Why is everyone being so coy? What is this "job"? Is it a bank job and you all don't want to spill the beans or tip off the cops? If it is a blow ... oh, nevermind

Obscure job. Obscure requirements. Obscure results.

Really, what is it?

Do you want to "latinize" the forum? hehe... Be careful not to feel sorry later!

We worked together fair well in the past, I think we may as well now...

At least, that's what I felt...
