Gakked from everyone. I didn't want to but:

(1) I wanted one post with screened comments. I never yet have. But if they're funny I might unscreen them, say if you want (or don't want) that.

(2) I want to know what everyone is saying. You want people for manual work such as cleaning or filing? How much does a cleaning service cost now? Is it that more worth it than hiring me out as a software consultant, sex slave, or organ doner, and paying someone else to clean? Or do you want only people you know in your house? Or is it cheating to hire someone to clean when you're not/no longer a cambridge student?

If you had me alone, locked up in your house for twenty-four hours and I had to do whatever you wanted me to, what would you have me do? All comments will be permanently screened because it's a secret. Then repost this in your LJ. You might be surprised with the responses you get.

Ah, yes. That does make a lot of sense. You're right.

In fact, even more so for filing, etc, becasue people you know are likely to understand what you need, and know what lecture notes matter, and hwo student loans work, and which friend's letters need replying, etc.

Also, I don't have the contacts to hire people out as something high-paying enough to make up for the hassle of trying to do it

You'd have it for free if we all volunteer :) Though admittedly you'd need a lot of people hours to make it worthwhile.

who have basically volunteered for potentially much worse things

Hmmm. Worse than cleaning? :)
