Are you a Texas law firm associate who is sick of tired of working long hours for low pay? Are you looking for a more creative position, one that would offer you more "hands-on" experience?

Then you might be interested in working for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit -- still for low pay, but probably for better hours. And we're not talking about some run-of-the-mill law clerk gig.

The circuit is looking for an in-house interior designer. How fabulous! And no, we're not joking. Check out the job posting by clicking here (PDF).

Okay, so you don't have the requested "bachelor's degree in interior design." But surely a J.D. from an accredited U.S. law school, plus the requested ability "to move light furniture," would be just as good.

Yeah, you'd have to move to New Orleans, but that's not too far -- still within the Fifth Circuit. In terms of specific job responsibilities, the most difficult one is probably "procuring furniture and furnishings utilizing federal procurement guidelines."

That should be construed as "decorating courthouse spaces in halfway decent fashion, using furniture manufactured by federal prison inmates." And remember -- Martha checked out of the Big House a long time ago.

If that's not worthy of an episode of Top Design, we don't know what is.
