You're so funny. I can put in for the position, but it's either Hobart in Jan, or your personal assistant in February. Hard to tell which would be more work... ;-)

Nurofen in red wine and vegie burgers doesn't sound too hard. I'll put a call into Nanny McPhee.

I'll volunteer to be on the interview panel.
