better yet, maybe Powerpoint can re-do MY resume to increase my hiring potential

excellent suggestion. i'm glad i thought of it. this is a potentially lucrative revenue stream given the current economy and the Powerpoint(tm)'s business expertise. as the band is always trying to improve the bottom line, i'm confident the board will ratify this new direction at their next meeting.
