We're Soooooo Happy It's Friday!

A challenging but generally cheerful week for us – except for yesterday's bullpen implosion and an even worse blow to the top of the line-up. [related sound effects: angry muttering followed by deflated sigh].  But still, it's Friday, the sun is out, and we've got some jobs for you.  Enjoy.

… and finally: earlier this month, we ribbed the good folks at the Capitol Hill Business Improvement District for their insistence on reeling in an all-caps-level SUPERSTAR for their Marketing, Events and Communications Manager post, which they appear to still be trying to fill.  Surely one of you have the excellent communications & organizational skills, facility with social media & WordPress CMS, and overall stellar quality they desire.

Best wishes for a terrific & temperate weekend from your favorite™ public affairs jobs resource.  We're taking the 4th off, but we'll have the usual Sunday deadline-approaching post and a new set on Monday before that.
