I'm applying for a job at AOL. I am now everything I despise.

You just want to work there so you can destroy the company from the inside out. Right? Right? RIGHT?

Don't leave me hanging like this!

iow, I wouldn't be responsible for crappy technical services. I'd be responsible for crappy content.
