Dear hiring committee members,
Your insistence that you are "not hiring for any tenure track positions in bioethics at the moment," is an interesting opening gambit in our negotiations, and I applaud your persistence on this point after so many emails
My counter-offer, that you are indeed hiring a tenure track professor and compensating very generously, remains firm, however I am willing to haggle over the following minor points ...

Computers would be great if they didn't screw up constantly and require constant hand-holding even when given extremely straightforward tasks

I want to see the Chernobyl-style HBO docu-drama about this
Some crusty and terrible military police officer punching his desk in frustration and then extinguishing a cigarette to look out the window and say to himself, "I will get you, Dorothy"
And then his administrative assistant, an effeminate gay man, walks by and adds, "and her little dog too"
