| Wanted: Female of child bearing age or
beyond. Full time position, 24/7/365 days a year for the rest of your
life. No vacations or time off available. Must be available at all times,
sacrificing time, energy, money, love, sleep, in short, one's entire being.
Pay poor to none, benefits few. Skills: Must be able to function without
sleep or food for long periods of time. Budgetary abilities must be outstanding,
even magical. Should be able to feed, clothe and educate on next to nothing.
Silk's purse out of a sow's ear considered beneficial. Endless patience
mandatory. Should be able to multi-task beyond all sane expectations.
Answer phone, feed the cat, mop the floor, kiss a boo-boo and make dinner
all at the same time is but one small example. Humor a must, supreme patience
mandatory. Little to no appreciation save for perhaps the occasional kind
word in one's old age. No bonuses, overtime pay or stock options available.
Selfless devotion is key. Only perk: worshipped as near deity for the
miracle that you are, by nearly all cultures worldwide.
