It's Not Just a Job, It's Peering At Houses From Behind Bushes

The Reston Association is hiring a covenants advisor. Which is great -- we could make all kinds of jokes about folks crawling around in the woods to get a furtive glimpse of some verboten red mulch in the back yard, but we actually had good experiences with a sympathetic and thoughtful covenants advisor when we added the 25-foot-tall blinking neon WEB LOGS WE MAKE THE WORLD TAKES sign to Restonian World Headquarters had questions about some obscure external lighting rules. Having said that, though, maybe they shouldn't illustrate the job with a picture like this:

Okay, we'll start: "I can see a Russian-style bureaucracy from my house!"

    "Covenants Advisor?"

    Isn't that what the Inquisition called themselves back in the day?

    "Hey! Hudgins! Cathy Hudgins! I know you're in there hiding! That money you pocketed from RTC Partnership to approve their project can't be used to paint your garage door white. White is not a cluster-approved color!"

    White trim = OUT, white pants = IN.

    "Uh...I was told by my boss at the RA to report to this house to attend a United Front meeting of the leadership of RA, RCA and ARCH, but it seems like a pretty big house to host a meeting for such a small and impotent group...oh!...there they are...I see them now...they're up in the attic playing with a box of old toys!"

    Restonian, when I took a quick glance at the headline I thought it said "It's Not Just a Job; It's Peeing At Houses From Behind Bushes".

    The Neighborhood Nazis have arrived!
    In green jackets that look like they were tailored by the ICE, no less!

    Please come to my neighborhood, because my neighbors cat keeps spraying on my Navaho White door trim and making it yellow...
