New job opportunity

Dear Alexis and Brady*,

Thank you for introducing me to a new potential career while I attempted to "watch" the Virginia Tech Bowl Game (Yay Hokies!), tonight. I'm glad you think I'm highly qualified for the position of playground equipment! I'm still a little unclear which piece you were interviewing me for, though I think it must have been either jungle gym or slide.

While I enjoyed exploring the opportunity and various facets of the job, I'm discovering that there are unexpected drawbacks. Specifically I have new sympathy for the aches and muscle sprains I may have unknowingly inflicted on my own beloved playground equipment. I should go offer a late bottle of tylenol at 6th street park.

So while a career change may not be forthcoming, I do think I earned the title of "world's most patient auntie"---at least for today, and again I did enjoy the opportunity. I do think that I'll need to decline further interviews along these lines.

With much love,
Aunt Suzi
