Japanese Hardware Sales: 29 Jan - 4 Feb: Executive assistant edition

Whatttt?

Don't lie, faithful readers.

The list of technical requirements was steep, but when you consider the amount of people willing to take this job is approximately 6.5 billion, there are certainly a few out there who fit the bill.
