Lifestyle Managers
Are you to busy to pick up the dry cleaning, change your oil, check your online dating site? Well then, I’ve got the solution for you! Hire a lifestyle manager.
The www.dating-weblog.com reports that this may be the up and coming way to take care of those provisional details you just don’t have time for anymore.
Lifestyle managers do exactly what their name implies: manage the details of your life. Essentially, this is a personal assistant for the home. You find someone that you like and can trust and then teach them how to take care of the things in your life that you just don’t have time to take care of. And yes, for some people that means online dating.
Are you effing kidding me? Now I really have heard it all. Do you think they can go to the bathroom for you? Or better yet, can they make it to my yearly gyno appointment if I just can’t find the time? And The Dating Weblog did not just come up with the idea out of thin air. The Washington Post reported on it here
What would you hire a Lifestyle Manager to do for you?

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it’s harder every time. You’ll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You’ll fight with your best friend. You’ll blame a new love for things an old one did. You’ll cry because time is passing too fast, and you’ll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you’ve never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you’ll never get back.
Don’t be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin!

My mother-in-law called her cleaning lady "my wife" because she cleaned bad foods out of the fridge and told my mo-in-law when she needed to lose weight. My kids have a name for it: "Mom". It's amusing how we are always coming up with new names for the same old things.
I enjoy your posts - JS

Wow, I can't believe people are so busy they have to hire somebody to take care of their life. Americans are so over extended.
If people are seriously thinking of hiring somebody like this they should first look into hiring a person that can simplify their life.
Sounds like once a person has one of these "lifestyle managers" they will just pile more shiz on top making their life more complex.
This a serious problem. People do not want to take responsibility for their own life. Why the hell are they even here?

Come on Kyle, you know you would like to hire someone to go to your 'turn-your-head-and-cough' appointments..... it's completely ridiculous!! Really, where do we draw the line?
