Like some of you already know, I stopped working for Lenny a month ago. And it's been fine cause I have done part time stuff here and there. And I am working at the gallery two days a week. So it's not like I am starving or anything. Though it would be nice to fund my addiction to J- Crew and Banana Republic so I could go all the time like I want to.
But in all seriousness I do need a bit more income. Bills are not just mere "suggestions" to pay. Vendors do in fact want the money they ask for. A funny thing happens when you wait too long to pay the cell phone bill, Sprint turns off your phone. How about that?
Anyway. As I am home today drinking way too many fluid ounces of coffee I figured I would put my caffeine rush to good use and apply for some jobs through craigslist. I have had okay luck with them in the past so I thought I would try again.
I went to the admin section and found this posting for the most outrageous ludicrous job description I have ever read. Whoever wrote it is on crack or suffered a head injury.
At first when I read it, it all sounded standard. They listed the usual requests. You know, stuff like , they want the person applying to be able to work full time with some overtime and weekends, they wanted them to be able to type 60 wpm, be able to do all banking, scheduling of meetings and travel arrangements, be the head assistant to the CEO, and said person MUST have a bachelors degree. Blah balh blah. Sounds fine until I read the pay…
They were only offering $ 9.00 an hour. $9.00? Nine. An hour?
WTF?

That is seriously offensive. Some poor college grad will probably end up there out of necessity.
I hope your prospects perk up soon!!
Hey, they will find out that if you pay peanuts you will get monkeys.
Mel--
I know right? I was thinking the same thing. All that student debt with a 9.00 an hour job? Shame.
Linda--
Yes, employers definitely get what they pay for.
I'll totally pay you 9.25! Here's where you make a face and demand 30 and hour. We haggle back and forth until you totally agree to mini-skirt mondays and thong only thursdays, right?
It's been a while since I hired a personal assistant. Help me help you on this one.
( pssst! Chin up, not all employers are idiots and cheapskates. You'll come across the perfect fit before long, I assure you)
I don't think my kids (ages 6 and 3) would work for nine bucks an hour. Give them M&Ms though and they'll dig trenches for me.
Cunning--
Oh, I guess we can work that out. 9.25 is a sweet deal. Can’t pass that up.
Wow--
Come to think of it, peanut m&m's are quite tasty. That would be the best currency ever.
