I sent the President an Email this morning to apply for the job that Nancy Killefer has declined. As I read about her and the position, I thought " I can do that!" Efficiency Officer is pretty much my job description here at home. I manage to squeeze 26 hours into 24, shop for deals, cook from scratch, turn off lights in empty rooms, turn down the thermostat and put sweaters on the kids, reuse, recycle, repair, and most importantly, resist. Resist the seduction of wishes and wants, and upgrades and super-sizes. I like the idea of make-do, make-over, do without. I like simple, it's efficient/JanTri, Brand X Ranch. More here.

Question: What position in the Obama administration would you be somewhat qualified to apply for (if, of course, you're more or less current in your employer and income taxes)?
