Wanted: Second Wife

I'm going to have to get another job.  Either a second job or a new job that pays more than jackshit, which is what I make now.

Hubs is disabled and can't work and my mother is a miser and doesn't understand why I can't pay all the household bills for a $60,000 a year house and support a family of five on jackshit a year.

Go figure.

So I started looking on Monster and found an ad for a "Personal Assistant" -

Well established successful financial executive has too much on his business and personal plate and needs your help. He and his wife are very involved in the activities around their three active teenage sons and find they need help just keeping up with them and their three homes. Your position is very diversified and could include such mundane things as taking the dry cleaning and running to the store, to coordinating travel for the family and kids to sporting events, assisting with “running” the second and third homes, as well as helping with the construction of their new Houston home, arranging for tutors, helping with homework, spend the night occasionally if both parents are out of town, etc. This is not a nanny position, though it comes close. You do need to have some business experience as well as you will be relied upon to coordinate household and business events. The family is quite successful with a wonderful reputation and both parents are smart as well as funny. They are looking for this person to be with them at least eight years. Salary depends on years and level of experience.

Funny - but the list of duties looks strangely like a housewife to me.  I think they should have just titled the listing as -

Wanted: Second Wife

I applied.  Because seriously - who doesn't want a housewife of their very own.
