Kate, Kate... may I call you Kate?

Can I interest you in someone who's willing to work part time for full price, but still put a full ass into it? I more than meet your quite meager qualifications, and the paycheck would more than adequately fund weekly commuter flights into DC. In exchange, I'd happily turn multiple of my story-length comments into full articles. And to boot, I wouldn't even CUSS in them! (much)

I hope you give this offer the due consideration it deserves.

Matt Yglesias, job creator.

I am happy at my current job (and I live in another country) so this isn't a 'job question' but I am interested in what your office is. I understand CB shares some working space in D.C. - but how often is the team in the office? Do you socialize/know the other people in that building?

Knew I shoulda gone on that DC field trip in 8th grade. Assistant Blag Editor woulda been a perfect fit for my former white-collar skillset. It can't be that different from administrating a popular videogame wiki, right? (Never quite had the chutzpah to call that an "unpaid internship" on resume, but.)

Pretty decent compensation. My guess is folks will be getting insurance on the exchange because of your guys' small scale.
