Off to a Bad Start

True story: they first words we heard when the clock radio sounded this a.m. were "...lows in the teens to mid-20s" – awesome!  And don't even get us started on the local gridiron follies.  On days like this, we're channeling the criminally under-rated Karl Wallinger & World Party.

… and finally: how does the title Trump Attaché grab you?  While it would be surely more interesting were it describing a Presidential envoy role, your job instead entails VIP & guest services work for Trump Hotels.
