Yeah. In 1990, I applied for a contract job with a hand-made pop-up 
card. I got the three month contract and a year and a half later was 
offered a job on my terms in which I eventually rose to the position of 
"vice president." And no, it wasn't a graphic design or marketing job, 
it was social policy research.
