h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

If you work in butterfly conservation, there's a fair chance you may have an interesting job title. Today I spotted this one for a "Small Blue Project Officer":

Sadly, I'm not qualified, but I'm still on the lookout for a "Large Pink IT Manager"

I want one for a 'Lesser Spotted History Writer'.

The steel corporation promoted my dad from his job as Chief Drawing Room Engineer to 'Plant Manager', which meant he ran the whole outfit in another city.

I told him he sounded like the head janitor.

Or a junior gardener.

I think the butterflies should have a representative on the hiring committee, to see how well the candidate can get along with beings of the lepidopteran persuasion.

Good thinking. They wouldn't want some fly-by-night character in charge, although the moths might have something to say about that.

Such as the New Jersey Tea Inchworm?

New Jersey Tea is a bush with flavorful leaves. The American colonists used to the leaves to make tea when they were grieving Britain's Tea tax. I have some new Jersey Tea on my porch in a pot, because a rabbit defoliated it the other day. Once its leaves have grown back, I'll decide whether to move it.

Please don't let the New Jersey Tea Inchworms know I have it.
