We could not find-this thinly-veiled Legislative Assistant posting with UPS (as mentioned in body of text) on their UPS careers page. Maybe you’ll have better luck – or maybe it’s long gone.

There’s no particular reason (or joke) behind this, but we really just like featuring jobs from the Society for Neuroscience. And we find this image from their website (pictured by footnote, didn't fit well up here) particularly appealing, as well.

Your in-the-news job-resource of the day: Nielson Co. is sending its venerable (est. 1884) Editor and Publisher publication away to live with a nice family on a farm (and, no, you can’t go visit), but their Media Market job board still looks good.

* of course we’re going to go with the (all-too-obvious) pray/secular quip above, but, in the spirit of holiday fairness, we happily note that, while the coalition serves groups in the community of atheists, agnostics, humanists, freethinkers, etc., they also attest: freedom of conscience, including religious freedom, is a fundamental American value as evidenced by the fact that this is the first freedom protected in the Bill of Rights. Freedom of conscience is best guaranteed by protecting and strengthening the secular character of our government. Religious tolerance, a necessary product of this freedom, must be extended to people of all religions and to those without religious beliefs. Sadly, the Constitution of North Carolina is not on board with this open-minded approach.

And on that cheery note – we wish you a Merry Christmas, a peaceful holiday season, and a happy Friday!
