Miss Kubelik, one doesn't get to be a second administrative assistant around here unless he's a pretty good judge of character, and as far as I'm concerned you're tops. I mean, decency-wise and otherwise-wise.

what could go wrong?

i'm not exactly a dog person. i like dogs - or at least i love the dogs owned and cared for by my friends. but i've never been one of those people who goes up to strange dogs on the sidewalk and lays down next to them and practically makes out with them all in the name of 'being a dog person' (i seriously have a friend like this. no exaggeration).

and so when i read this listing, my entire body cringed...
WE ARE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD PET PEOPLE TO DO PRIVATE BOARDING IN YOUR HOME

If you love dogs and wouldn't mind them coming to spend the night or a weekend at your place, then reply to this ad...Great for stay at home moms or retirees...
okay, so if you're retired and love strange animals coming over every once in a while, then yes, this sounds like a lovely idea.

but stay at home moms? wtf? i guess they would be ideal candidates because when you stay home with kids all day, you get really really really really really effing bored. so why not have a stranger's dog over so it can tear up your sofa, piss on your toddler, and crap in your shoes?

if nothing else, it would make the weekend go lickety-split.
