I checked my LinkedIn account today and up pops a notice that said, "Aclara posted a job you may be interested in: Sales Director, Software Utility Solutions in Remote Location." It all sounds great until you stumble upon "remote location". Do any of you conjure up something from the X-Files or Unsolved Mysteries here? I can see it now. "Hey honey, I've got this great opportunity to join the Aclara team. We may each lose a limb in the first year and sleep with guns under our pillows, but it's a 20% pay increase with a chance to climb the company ladder as long as my emotional and mental capacities remain in tact."

If I was throwing a party for my girlfriend, would there be a party shop with fancy napkins and festive candles? What about a World Market?
