Butlers, revisited

I heard a piece on the radio recently about a resurgence in demand for butlers.

According to the report, the starting salary for a newly minted butler is One Hundred Thousand Dollars. With experience, the butler can demand three times as much.

I guess I won't be hiring a butler any time soon.

Interns are the new butler

I've always wanted a Jeeves to take care of all the little nuisances of my life (while hoping I'm not quite as helpless and clueless as Bertie Wooster). The updated version of the dream, though, is to have an intern, who would do pretty much the same sorts of things that a butler once did: oversee household chores and simplify my life.

At the moment, I can't afford either an intern or a butler, so Todd is stepping up to help. Here he is with his quilting hat on.
