I found this in craigslist in Houston

What do you think, jajajajajajajaja. I do not know if any CCIE will accept this, this is the first time that I find this kind of ad.
OK, this is probably going to be one of the weirdest posts that you'll ever read. I'm a network engineer for a business downtown (I prefer to remain anonymous, as should you) and I have some issues with ISIS and OSPF that relate to a design problem I am encountering.
I hold a CCNA and a CCNP, however, my working knowledge of OSPF and ISIS in this situation is very shallow. Over the past several months, I have engineered (and reengineered) a network that has been constantly evolving on a weekly basis. It started out as a flat topology with switches and trunks, two VLANs, and a single, Quagga-based Linux box doing bullshit OSPF between the two VLANs and a static route to the outside world.
Enter virtualization, a SAN, multiple VLAN requirements, T-1 connections, a dial gateway, two VPN ( SSL and 3DES both ), two inverse proxy servers, a pair of WLNB load balancing setups, and it just goes on, ad infinitum, ad nauseam.
So, here's the chase. Let's grab dinner, and discuss the merits of why I think what my EVENTUAL plan will be the best, given the far-flung requirements my boss has asked me to design for, at which point somewhere before the dessert tray comes around, I will produce carefully redacted documentation (preserving anonymity, as I said) to which I will glady notate your suggestions, and tips to achieve what I need to make this three-ring circus work, while you may share anecdotes, information, and other tidbits of design know-how.
I will pick up the check, and a moderate bar tab (I am a three-drink maximum kind of guy, by the way), to get this situation moving. I appreciate professional courtesy, and I hope I have not offended anyone. In fact, I hope you laugh, but more so, I hope you'll email me and accept my offer. This is driving me insane.
Must be willing to meet downtown, preferably shortly after 5 to 6 PM. This is an ideal "gig" for a downtown-working IE to share some knowledge and get free dinner in the process. I am also willing to schedule lunch engagements, and would prefer individuals open to a weekly consultation.
