A job posting.
I just received this in email, on a mailing list for alumni of the former Locus Computing Corporation. It was sent from a Washington Post employee via his brother, who is a member of that list.
Posted here for your amusement:
Web Infrastructure Specialist
As Web applications grow at The Post, so does our need to provide solid behind-the-scenes support for these applications. With that in mind, we're looking for someone to join the deployment group within Web Solutions as a Web Infrastructure Specialist. We're looking for someone with solid experience supporting Web, Web Application (WAS) and Proxy Servers; LDAP Directories; managing web security, performance and capacity; supporting web hosting and server clusters; understanding authentication, authorization and provisioning; and internet network design, protocols and management tools. If you know someone you think would be perfect for the position, or would like to know more about this opportunity so you can tell your friends, please contact Perry Payne x 4-6294 or Jeanne Koch x4-6217.

No mention whether they might be looking for some real journalists, though. Too bad.
(If you're legitimately interested in the job, by the way, here are instructions to use those extensions in the ad: There is a toll free number — 1-800-627-1150. When the recorded message answers, always wait for the sentence pertaining to you to finish or it's no go. First the recording says "Press <1> if you have a touch-tone phone. OK, now press 1. "If you know your party's five digit extensions, enter it now." OK, after the sentence is finished, enter one of the five digit extensions at the end of the notice.)
