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.

Please unscreen this.

I want meme-posters to clean and tidy my house because I can order them around and make sure they do it properly, whereas a cleaning service I have to be polite to, am probably going to be too timid around to give decent orders, and they will be too timid around my stuff to put it in drawers and dump it in a 'you really don't need this' pile.

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 and the inconvenience to them, whereas making them clean is a low level of inconvenience to my friends (who have basically volunteered for potentially much worse things) for a high level of payoff for me.
