I'm going to overlook the inconsistent spacing between headings and text, which I find irksome and focus on bullet points . . .

• No, I find it too displeasing to drop that easily.

But I would love to grow the assigned territory and maybe negotiate a contract, I got moves like Minuit but I need the backing and capital of a growing company. If you could send me 26 dollars and point me in the right direction, I'll do the rest.

It would be a hoot to work somewhere you constantly have to say "Almstead, not Olmsted. With an "A", not an "O".
