until someone needs $5.

pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat
in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just

coordinate production of multiple homework projects.

On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting
basis.

WAGES AND COMPENSATION :

The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that
you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more.

no stock options are offered;
this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal
growth and free hugs and kisses for life if you play your cards
