NAME: Phil Latio.

QUALIFICATIONS: LLB (Law) PhD (Medicine) & FSC (Federation Starfleet    
                           Commander).

POSITION: Head job.

AGE: pass.

SEX: I don’t like being labelled or misgendered.

CONTACT DETAILS: Probably best I contact you. I am currently residing at an    
  undisclosed location awaiting the findings of a Securities and Exchange 
  Commission investigation.

PLACE OF BIRTH: Mother’s hoo haa!

NATIVE LANGUAGE: Don’t know any, is that gonna be a problem?

MARITAL STATUS: Fantastic! Couldn’t be better. Well, pretty good, to be honest   
  it needs attention. Okay, it sucks alright, I can’t breathe, it’s a total 
  clusterfu-ck! I go to bed at night hoping my spleen will rupture and I’ll bleed 
  out before dawn.

EDUCATION: I remember an abacus and my Battlestar Galactica lunchbox.

FURTHER TRAINING: Went back to school and progressed to a calculator and a   
  Batman cooler (for my beer) and blitzed it, completing Grade 10 graduating 
  in the top 98% of my class.

RECENT WORK HISTORY: Too much to mention here.

LAST EMPLOYER: We had a sudden parting of the ways. At an informal 
  business meeting it is alleged that I acted inappropriately. In my defence I 
  do suffer from impaired hearing. What he actually said was to close the door 
  and “hold my calls!”.

PREFERRED HOURS: Lunch hour, dinner hour, happy hour.

SALARY: I’m willing to start on a retainer equivalent to the hidden annual 
  personal contributions to Bill & Hillary from the Clinton Foundation in my first       
  year plus bribes (sorry, benefits). After that we can negotiate stock options, a 
  bit-chin’ set of wheels, a Happy Hookers gold card membership and generous   
  bonus renumeration package commensurate with my flair and expertise.

MOST ADMIRED PERSON: I’m conflicted here. I’m torn between Hugh Hefner   
  and Warnie. Actually, no I’m not, it’s a no-brainer. Hef may be old and his fun      
  parts on life support but c’mon he’s Hef!

AMBITION: To get laid (like a lot - without having to beg). To be able to share     
  a mercy flirt with the office tragic and not get some bogus charge of indecent   
  assault thrown at you when I get mothered at the Christmas work party. To 
  hang with Hef in the Playboy Mansion…duh! To make enough money to wipe 
  the smug superior smiles off the likes of Rupert Murdoch and James Packer 
  and reduce them to bit players on my grand stage. Oh, and to dedicate 
  myself in an orphanage doing God’s work - not in Bangladesh or Africa but 
  like Bondi or Vegas.

ATTRIBUTES: I have more attributes than virgins at a Star Trek convention. I 
  never do drugs at work. I never take credit for something I didn’t do unless I 
  want to screw some manipulative little grub over because he/she is a
  workplace cancer or because it’s just a fun thing to do. Principles and loyalty 
  mean everything to me, but not at the expense of career advancement and  
  personal wealth creation. Also I’m always kind to widows and prostitutes.

I AM CURRENTLY READING: A summons to appear before a Disciplinary Review  
  Board. Don’t know what that’s about.

MOST NOTABLE ACHIEVEMENT: Avoiding jail time. Lucky for me iron clad 
  witnesses would often fail to show. They were all stitch-ups anyway!

DISLIKES: Eyewitnesses and whistleblowers.

LIKES: My hobbies include drinking beer; gambling but not with my own 
  money; computer hacking and identity fraud; drinking beer; amputee po-rn 
  (if it’s done tastefully); peeking through high powered telescope (I’m talking 
  Hubble here) adjacent to beaches, water parks, gyms, high rise apartment 
  buildings; and drinking beer. I also have a social  conscience and I am an 
  enthusiastic donor of sperm and blood, although I am urgently advised that 
  I should seek treatment for both my conditions before resuming deposits. 
  Furthermore I am a committed vagetarian (I only eat fish).

POLITICAL PERSUASION: I am a staunch Marxist - Groucho that is! Screw the 
  workers, greed is good!

ANY COMPULSIVE BEHAVIOURS: Not when I’m sober or clean.

FAVOURITE SERIAL KILLER: Hard to say. Some used meat cleavers, some   
  piano wire, some tyre irons, some preferred a Black & Decker and a 
  woodchipper, some used a vat of hydrochloric acid and a turkey baster. To
  each his own - I like ‘em all!

MEDICAL CONDITIONS: Just a little Mad Cow - nothing to be concerned about.  
  Also a few misdiagnosed issues with my neurotransmitters. For this I attend a 
  court ordered short weekly burst of electroconvulsive therapy for my dribbling 
  and mood swings. It seems to be working. Haven’t had a psychotic episode in 
  almost a week.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A JOB? Unbridled power; no accountability; 
  unaudited expense accounts; extravagant perks; insider trading

  jurisdictions.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN CONVICTED OF A CRIME? Convicted? No!

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY? Which one? They’re all 
  quite manageable.

GENERAL COMMENTS: Not since Jim Jones and David Koresh has there been a 
  more charismatic and dynamic leader with a unique vision for mankind. I am 
  the future. You don’t want your competitors headhunting me. I’m doing you a 
  huge favour by giving you first crack at a once in a lifetime opportunity. Get 
  in before the post-apocalyptic dawn. Now do the smart thing and HIRE ME!
