Too busy to wait in line and do laundry?

HIRE A PERSONAL ASSISTANT!

Now this has got to be one of the most outrageous things I’ve ever heard.

I was reading Inside Higher Ed and learned there was a sophomore at Georgetown who posted an ad for a personal assistant.

Here are a few snippets from the job description/requirements taken from the Georgetown Voice:

“I am looking for someone to take care some of my everyday tasks for 1 hr a day, 5 hrs/ week, $12/hr.  The normal pay per week will be $60 ($300/month), even though on occasion it will be possible to work additional hours and/or receive bonuses at my discretion.

PA example tasks -Organize closet -make bed -Drop off / pick up dry cleaning -Drop me off / pick me up from work -Do laundry -Fill up gas tank -bring car for servicing -schedule appointment for haircut -Pay parking tickets -manage electronic accounts -shopping and running errands -other random tasks.”

Sounds like this kid just has WAY too much on his plate.

What might “other random tasks” include?  Clipping his toenails?  Sponge bath?  Spoon-feeding?

Way to be responsible, independent, and great at prioritizing/managing time!  He must be making a fortune at his part-time job to be shelling out $300/mo. for someone to pay his parking tickets.

I’m amazed he had the chutzpah to put it out there.  WOW.
