Housewifery

I once read that if a housewife were paid for all the jobs for which she was a professional (the list included some 40 odd professions), she'd make over $700,000.00 a year.

This morn, I awoke to the chimings of my Superego. It said to "find scrub buckets and laundry detergent and to clean the house, dammit." So, I did. I have changed sheets today, run errands, done laundry, cleaned bathrooms, dusted, vacuumed and provided psychological counsel to a few individuals in need. Let's see, that's janitor, laundrymat, chambermaid, taxi, psychiatry and psychology. I was also a bartender for a bit...which leads me to this blog post. If today were a year, I would net something to the tune of $200,000.00, but that's just an estimate. Oh, and if today were yesterday (Sunday) you could easily add a bunch of fees to that amount.

Oh, and now...accountant/financial assessor. So, tack on another $40,000.00?? And possibly the profession of Women's Studies Educator, another what? $35,000.00??

Damn, I'm rich...I just don't know it.
