It's an amazing position with an outstanding group of people and it was pretty tough for me to put in my resignation Friday. Anyways anyone interested or who may know someone interested can contact me directly (wendi.maher@gmail.com) and I will pass along to the appropriate people. It's an hourly position, so no need to worry about working insane hours each week - I've held down a weekend job in addition to this...
