Actually, he's doing you a favor for which he ought to be thanked.  That's
exactly what "servicing" means, and whoever translated that really
screwed the pooch, so to speak :-)  It should read "Client services
 vacancies."  I'm sure Brett isn't the first person to snicker at that,
and I'm sure I won't be the last.   You really want to get someone to fix
that pretty soon.  "Servicing clients" certainly carries a connotation
of engaging in certain, uh, extra-curricular activities with them.

In the meantime, I promise not to post it on any humor sites ;-)
