That's some kind of thank you, all right.
Today I logged on to the local newspaper's website to update my credit card info, now that I got my replacement for the one that got cancelled in the recent "alert". Aside from the fact that I had to switch to IE because Firefox suddenly and inexplicably refused to load the pages I needed, I got the information changed. And when I submitted it, I got the expected "Thank You" page. Well, sort of... this is what appeared on the screen. The terse line was all that was in the window.
Which I can't say is quite like any other Thank You screen I've ever seen. Can you say "placeholder"?
I've half a mind to send this image to the Pilot with a suggestion that perhaps they should consider hiring someone to clean up after their webmaster. In fact, I know just the person for the job. Sheesh. A broken link would be better than getting a placeholder page that no one bothered to replace with the real thing.

I say go for it. Believe it or not there are quite a number of people who get hired out there because they make their own jobs when they see a need... and obviously, it looks like this newspaper could use the help.
Plus, it could count as one of your official job seeking requirements for the week if the newspaper has no interest.
By now I expect to hear that you got the job. Your more than qualified.
Call them.
Maybe it's a whole sort of "Charlotte's Web" thing. ("That's some pig.") You know... "wow, that is some kind of thank you."
Alright... total BS. The part of me that spent years writing lore to explain things like "why Ferengi Whips stopped being used after the first season" jumped in there for a second.
