You want to hire a new programmer and you have the perfect candidate in mind, your old college roommate, Guillaume Portes. Unfortunately you can't just go out and offer him the job. That would get you in trouble with your corporate HR policies which require that you first create a job description, advertise the position, interview and rate candidates and choose the most qualified person. So much paperwork! But you really want Guillaume and only Guillaume.

It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to do. Wasting time is merely an occupation then, and a most exhausting one. Idleness, like kisses, to be sweet must be stolen. - Jerome K. Jerome
