If you could afford to employ one full time staffers who would it be? Gardener, pool boy, administrator, butler etc.

Personal Polynesian. Just a massive dude that hangs out and occasionally helps out with things.

Japanese house boy. No contest.

I think Seagoon might be a bit busy unpacking still

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 points 3 months ago

still unpacking ๐Ÿ˜ซ

Haha. Let me guess? It's their job to protect the birds water dish and to feel free to pistol whip anyone that gets too close?

"but you can do that for free...... oOOOOOOOH GOON... Not the other thing. Carry on"

A cleaner, absolutely hands down. Especially the bathroom. Everything else I can somehow handle but the #1 very first kind of help I would get if I had money is a cleaner. Then maybe an admin person (even just to make phone calls, I hate phone calls). Then maaaaybe a cook but I would be very very picky about what they make and how.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago

I also want a personal assistant and it was a close toss up between that and a cleaner

but I'm thinking with a full time cleaner my mind and time would be freer to do my own admin and I don't care how awkward I am and how long things would take as I wouldn't be under any pressure from other tasks

I reckon a chef (who also cleans the kitchen once they're done for the day). Delicious meals prepared for me and time saved cooking / cleaning up afterwards would transform my life.

[โ€“] PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 7 points 3 months ago

Housekeeper. No contest.

dog walker atm. Would just love them to get some more walks!

I've thought about a kitchen hand. They prepare. I cook. They clean up.

[โ€“] anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Can I have one great all-rounder, to do bits of everything?

Otherwise, definitely personal chef

Ummm.....

How much you paying? I might be interested.

[โ€“] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm going to need to see your credentials before we get into things like "wages" and "salary"

[โ€“] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, yeah I've got all that, I need to know if you'll be home while I bust these ghosts and is there a decent pizza shop near by?

[โ€“] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There's a dominos, and I guess it depends on the ghost ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ seeing as you're a serious applicant; salary is between $33,000 and 144,000 p.a
