There are no stupid questions, just smart-alecky responses

My little meme

As someone who has filled out a lot of “get to know you” questionnaires on various websites, I thought that I’d start my own, though if it’s not original to me, I wouldn’t be surprised. I thought of it over the weekend.

Which would you rather have:

  1. A Housekeeper once a week, cleaning up the sty you call your place?
  2. A Correspondence Secretary (snail-mail only) for 10 hours a week, taking dictation, paying bills and writing letters?
  3. A Talent Agent for 10 hours a week, devoting time to getting you a better job, and raising your profile?
  4. A Psychiatrist for 2 hours a month, dealing with whatever issues you may have?

The choices are meant to be generally equal, and none of the positions are meant to be full time.

I’d take the talent agent in a second.

Housekeeper. No question.

I’d go with the talent agent as well. I could use a secretary, but that might come via the efforts of the talent agent.

Housekeeper! Taking care of the other tasks myself gives me opportunities for self-assessment, self-appraisal (excuse the squishiness, but I’m going through an introspective phase), but dusting just makes me sneeze. (Which is why we DO outsource most of it, although just every other week.) (But “Talent Agent” is very tempting!)
