Varying but flexible schedule, estate owners are two likeable 20-something

opportunity for the right person. No experience necessary.

What? No 401k or pension plan?

I can't help but wonder what the long-term opportunity is if the houseboy
must be under 25. And if a 47-year-old woman applied for this position,
could she be legally turned down for age or gender reasons?

You know, this is the big sticking point in my own embryonic
housekeeper-aquisition plans. I still can't decide whether I want Ethan
Hawke or Alice from the Brady Bunch.

Perhaps I should get a bigger apartment and hire them both.

Alice. Definitely Alice.

In fact, Bop has been keeping little secrets from us.
I think he's afraid that if he takes in any more, the
authorities are going to start asking a few questions.

When last I was at a wee little startup company, there wasn't
much trouble with discrimination laws for companies under a
certain size (a rather small size, too, like seven people).
Ironically, i was quite diverse - half of the company would
have been "minority," (and the other half was Jewish).

Now, "houseboys" kind of sit on the fence, as it were, between
employees and renters. It is illegal to discriminate based
on much of anything (short of 'inability to pay rent') in
housing.

Get with the '90's, Nick. All evolved employers offer flextime
nowadays. So you have Alice in the daytime, and Ethan at night.

Hmm. "Applicants should look like Christopher Atkins in his _Blue Lagoon_
phase, wear baggy sweatpants that gloriously fail at concealing much of
anything in the morning, be a gourmet cook, a fastidious housecleaner, do
laundry, fold clothes and wash dishes, provide personal swim coaching, be
a superlative friend and confidant, source recreational supplies, and
serve as an exquisite nude model in public and private settings."

No, I think the recently erstwhile houseboy's gonna' be hard to replace...
I think I'll just pine alone for a while amongst the burgeoning clutter.

Mwah-ah-ah-ah-ah. You'll never know, now will you, Splatasha? Pity.

Believe me, if I wasn't working night and day on this software
project, I would gladly be Bop's HouseBoy. Cleaning sinks is
infinitely better that writing Sybase triggers.

Even more important, what were his SAT scores?

So Dreyfuss passed your "twink enough for me to allow him to be in

I didn't forget. I just thought it a bit too-too for
the moment. But now that you insist:

Even *more* imporant, what does he think of Hugo Wolf?

Hhhmmmmm, interesting questions. He sat down next to me at
my favorite sushi bar in the valley. I naturally didn't
immediately think to ask him about his penis or SAT scores,
but I did comment on his new car, which he had just picked
up from the Merecedes dealership.
