so i took this little part time job i found on CL recently and i wish this guy paid me like 50% more because he is the best and i would gladly spend 8 hours a day with him. i can't really mention ... like anything about it, really, but the general story is that he is going through this absolutely epic divorce and has run out of money for a lawyer so he's representing himself. i'm talking years and years of suing and countersuing between him, his ex, his lawyer, her lawyer, and a ton of other random tertiary people. it's almost into 6 digits in costs in this point. so his first language is not english, and he doesn't even write in english, so he needs someone who can read and write fluently to read the documents to him, explain the terminology, write down everything he says, and prepare the court documents. when i called about the position and we made the appointment to meet, he's like, "i work from my home office so i hope you're okay with children, dogs, and me wearing my pajamas." i was like, this is cool so far. then i get there, he has this absolutely beautiful house in a beautiful neighborhood, incredible modern minimal interior decorating, and he's just this awesome, easy-going old jewish dude. he likes to start his day around 10am so that's when i come over, wearing whatever i want, and i stay as long as i want. on only the second day with him, he dictates to me this to-do list (one of the things was, "i had this cool idea so i want you to google it for me"), and says okay great, i'm going to do some errands. eat my food, write some checks out of my check book, just go ahead and forge my signature on some paperwork, and stay alone in my house until you feel like leaving. take your money from the pile of money i have left on the desk. so needless to say, i'm having a really great time, and a pretty nice extra chunk of cash income doesn't hurt either. |
