How would u like a bar of krap?

[JeffersonLab]

@jesuswasblack00 Yes, that is an unfortunate name.

[DHdrizzle]

I mean the Lab, are you hiring?

[JeffersonLab]

@DHdrizzle And the process of leaving a link in a comment should be easier, too. Putting three w's in a row is enough to trigger an 'error' in posting? Wow.

[alankarmisra]

Fascinating and very knowledgeable speaker. Loved every word.

@DHdrizzle You can check our current openings by going to our main web site (w w w dot jlab dot org) and then clicking on the 'Employment' link on the left-hand side (under 'Public Connections'). From there, click on 'Career Opportunities' under 'Resources.' At the bottom of that page, click on the 'Current Job Opportunities' link.

This process should probably be easier...

@DHdrizzle The chocolate company? I don't know. You'll have to check out their website.
