I posted this last night and got some interesting responses...

I'm considering putting this ad out on craigslist and the local college. How do you think it will work out?

--------------------------------------
Self important alcoholic failed writer seeks Arm Candy personal assistant.

Must be able to type well, look good in a black dress, drive my drunk ass home, suffer the company of pseudo philosophers and act as a creative muse. Expect to be naked once a month to pose for charcoal sketches and rarely finished paintings. Will attend awkward political meetings, nerdy game/comic conventions regularly (long distance travel for a weekend quarterly). Lots of pearlsnaps, cigarettes, scotch, and rambly conversations about the decline of western civilization while attending indie art exhibits. Being conversational on the topics of art and music, ability to research a plus.

Late night trips to greasy spoons, “majik” rituals, strip clubs, poetry readings (generally awful material), maintain a calender and manage appointments, play a seductive tease to publishers and buyers, endure ego-maniacal tantrums about misunderstood genius. Must be able to provide useful critiques and editing for developing works.

Interview involves getting shitfaced drunk.

Position pays $20 hr, and averages 15-25 hours a week.
All resumes must be accompanied with a recent photograph.


Interview:

Meet at a pub. Ask a series of questions. Edit a work for grammar and more importantly style.

When buzzed, ask another battery of question.

When totally shit faced, ask another battery of questions.

I was considering getting an assistant, what do you think of this ad to put on craigslist?
