st. snafu is brilliant!

this is of course a surprise to no one, but st. snafu rocks my world!

here is a snipit of our correspondence today:

st. snafu (in response to the insanity i'm facing at work and the ensuing exhaustion):

Honestly, I think the amount of work you have to do is why your house isn't getting settled. You are the organizer in your household, so if it's going to get done, you'll be spearheading the movement. Do you see work letting up in the forseeable future?

me:
right this second i find it hard to see work ever letting up. but i'm sure it will. without exageration though, probably not until december.

st. snafu:
Ah, so not in the forseeable future....
You need an assistant.

you see what i mean people? brilliant! she's absolutely right, i do need an assistant! i mean, not a full time personal assistant (although, how cool would that be?!?!?), but an assistant nonetheless.

i'm going to hire someone for a weekend to help us get shite done. it sounds absolutely rediculous, but it will help so much to have stuff done, and st. snafu's right, with the level of exhaustion i'm experiencing at work getting the house in order is too overwhelming.

i'm going to post something on craigslist tomorrow, or possibly even tonight. but before i do, i'll post it here in case there is anyone who reads my blog who's looking for some extra money and would be interested in earning it by helping out a couple of cool cats over the course of a weekend.

we'll be doing a wide range of stuff, things like organizing closets, putting together ikea stuff, cleaning out the garden, sorting through the kitchen stuff, hanging stuff on the wall, taking stuff to the dump, stuff like that. i was thinking of 10-6 on a saturday and sunday, this weekend. i will feed that person lunch, and i promise it will be tasty (just ask st. snafu). and if it's someone fun then i'll also feed them beer and probably afterwards if they're interested.

bloody brilliant woman that st. snafu!
