Guys, the landmark AIDS service organization, STOP AIDS Project here in San Francisco is looking for a Program Manager to oversee their social and assistance department that is devoted entirely to HIV+ gay men in the Bay Area. It's a demanding but potentially rewarding position, and best of all, you get to live here in this remarkable city with a wealth of HIV services and an active poz community. I'm very very very sure that moving costs are not covered, but I will personally buy you dinner at Boulevard Restaurant, which looks directly at the legendary Ferry Building on the Embarcadero, if you get the job!
NOTE: Please contact STOP AIDS directly, do not email me. I will only delete your application. If you are not savvy enough to not follow my instruction, I wouldn't want you to be working for this important program anyway. Seriously, in all things that are Rachel Maddow serious, if you can't follow this simple instruction, you are not capable enough to handle this job and I personally would not want you work there. Positive Force has been a very important addition to the lives of HIV+ gay men in this city that I love. Here's hoping they find someone fabulous and fierce! :)
