The Planetary Protection Officer or Klaatu barada nikto
Apparently, NASA needs a Planetary Protection Officer to see to it that we don't pollute alien worlds, and alien materials from space don't pollute us. Surely this is a part-time job, is it not? Possibly it could be done by one of the clever techs in order for him to earn some extra money. The job pays a top salary of $187.00 per year and is full time. Isn't that like setting aside a few million in case one of the Mars explorers bumps into a Martian?
Guess such a top salary for some more government nonsense psychologically struck my fragile dino mind as typical.
Discovering no link, I re-read the post more carefully.
So it's just $187 for a whole years then. Okay, cool. How does one apply for that?
Me the old dino will take that job for a wee bit of payback for decades of my tax dollars involuntarily supporting the UN, EPA, ACLU, Planned Parenthood, NEA, Obama's gargantuan cash gifts to Iran and other ways the government big time blows money while without a slap happy libtard care running up the http://www.usdebtclock.org/.
Yeah, for $187 a year I'll just sit at home and occasionally write memos that will disapprove of space explorers tossing cigarette butts out of manned Martian rovers and instruct the combined use of hand gestures, math and music in order to tell ET the proper way to take a dump on Earth.
Me dino's job qualifications? I can name three movies in which "klaatu barada nikto" was used.
Hint~It was first used in a classic science fiction movie and later by a crappy remake. In a movie made in between those flicks, the leading man with a demonic book could not quite remember "Klaatu barada ni-ni-?-cough-cough!" that incompetence then causing grave markers to blast off like rockets and an army of skeletons to appear.
So there ya go. See? Me dino knows some stuff.
So my initial kicking-in dino hunter instincts proved to be on the money when my eyes scanned over the post for the first time.
I am dino~
Hear me ROAR!
I won't bother to apply.
They will be looking for some PC man-made climate change sap.
By the way, $187.00 is $187. Shorten (#=typo) a $187,000 with $187K next time.
Never had a typing lesson. Who needs it? he said laughingly before desktop computers appeared.
But it does not catch everything.
Came here from staring at a "may" that was supposed to be a "many" in one of my replies and the time to edit has run out.
I'd take the paper out of the typewriter and apply my college course editing skills with a pencil to the typos and other boo-boos.
Then I'd turn the story in.
I would have used a word processor if I hand landed the police reporter job a managing editor promised I'd have at the end of a hiring freeze at The Montgomery Advertiser in Alabama.
His hiring someone fresh out of college for a lot less money was writing on the wall (among other things) that I needed to change my career.
Now I'm retired and enjoying a pension I otherwise would not have had.
A is A. $187.00 is $187 without the decimal point.
Slaves kept in health, peace, and allowed free expression would be an improvement over today's chaotic world, would it not? Of course it would not. That's the promise of all the collectivists.
