I think I have figured out the answer to all of my problems.

First let me outline the kind of problems I am referring to as this idea really wouldn't solve all of my problems since I may need years of psychotherapy for some of them. In any case I do work a full time job but still, being the only household member that has a uterus it apparently falls upon me to make sure that the house is taken care of as well as my putting in 8 hours a day at my job. Anyone that’s ever been to my house knows that I’m not what you’d call a great housekeeper. I don’t dust, I don’t do windows, I don’t do floors, I don’t do dishes unless I need to eat something and they are all dirty and then I might wash one plate just so I can eat off of it. Anyway, I think you catch the drift. I’m not really domestically inclined. I like to have a clean house but seeing as I don’t want to be the one to make it that way and nobody else in the house seems to care to make it that way either the house is usually a complete disaster area.

In addition to the house being a mess, my closets and garage are a mess as well. I need someone to help me get organized and then keep me that way.

I also seem to have trouble making sure there are the right groceries in the house, making sure that the right bills get paid on time so that there are no late fees.

It occurred to me that what I really need is a maid/personal assistant. Unfortunately I can’t afford to pay anyone to do this but I had a brilliant idea last night. I can get me an INTERN cause you know, interns don’t get paid but they still have to come to work and do the job. So the way I envision it is that my intern will need to arrive at my house at around 7:30AM so they can make my coffee for me and then get started on the household chores. Once they have dusted and done the floors etc then they can go to work on the finances and make sure that nothing is going to get shut off or have a late fee. Since their sole concern will be my well being they could go out and get me some lunch so that I won’t have to deal with panhandlers although I will be sure to give them tips about how to avoid giving them money. Then after lunch they can start organizing my closets and garage and then if they still have time continue on with the household chores and do some laundry and do the grocery shopping.

Is this a GREAT idea or what??!! The only problem I have now is how do I hire for such a position?
