Is there anyone that found the original job postings to the list actually MORE distracting and inconveniencing than the incessant discussion of what to do about them?

Research Analyst I
Royt's Treehouse

The prestigious Tennant's Treehouse is accepting applications for the
position of Research Analyst I for the Juniper Club Library. A
collaborative position in nature, the Research Analyst I will indenture
themselves to the library duhrector artisanally collecting redundant data
via Diebold-O-Tron. The Research Analyst I will be abused at any given
opportunity, be paid only in hard liquor, maintain all digital object
collections, regardless of relevance or irrelevance of said collection
and
shepherd digital humanities projects, whatevertheheckthoseare.


The successful candidate will have 17 years experience in Koha despite
this being an entry level position that only freshly minted graduates may
apply to and that proficiency not possibly existing in this reality,
archiving meaningless discussion threads, ragging on royt at any given
opportunity, and collating mimeographs since we forgot to take this out
of
our job description sometime when MARC was merely a glimmer in a data
nerd's eye. None of these skills relate in the slightest to counting
votes,
but that's what HR told us, and ours is not to reason why.

We will not tell you where Royt's Treehouse is located since you are
meant
to already know. As with conference, you were meant to apply for this
post
prior to it making the rounds in your hemisphere, so if you are located
outside of the continental United States, too damn bad.

For further information, feel free to contact [email protected]
,
where your email will fester in a pile since your résumé will be thrown
out
for having a funny name or not matching spurious keywords.

All applicants are REQUIRED to have a beating a dead horse Code{4}Lib
t-shirt.
