New Job

So Mason and I are really excited to say that I will be starting a new job soon. We both think that this is very exciting time in our lives and this change will be great for us, especially because it will affect Mason basically just as much as me. We'll have a couple of months before the big change, but I thought that I would post my new job description and see what everyone else thinks in the meantime. You can let me know if you think if the hours, pay and benefits are good ;)

Wanted: Caregiver to rear one child from birth to maturity. A seven-day-a-week, twenty-four-hour-a-day position. No salary or benefits such as sick leave or holiday pay, no retirement plan. Caregiver must supply all living expenses for self and child; in the event of any absence, even for a few minutes with younger children, must supply substitute care. No opportunity to meet child to determine compatibility before taking the position. Motivation and job satisfaction must come from within applicant, as neither children nor society regularly express gratitude or appreciation.
