    He’s pretty on the nose with his timings. What if you don’t hear from him. Is there a default egg state?

    Expected this thread to be kinda weird, but it’s surprisingly wholesome!

    I appreciate both the manners and the variety of eggs desired.

    OP logistically how does this work? Do you meet your boss at their house? I’ve always wondered how these types of jobs worked.

    The craziest thing about this is that you’re boss doesn’t text you anything else all day?? Is all other communication over email? I mean I assume a lot of it is face to face but they never message you while they’re in a meeting?

    Does he ever ask for other “services”? How would you react to such a request? Weird question I know, but I imagine this situation must’ve happened to servants and I wonder if they face repercussions professionally if they refuse.

      Because having a personal assistant that cooks for you is kinda creepy and weird for normal people. Rich people doing rich stuff as usual…

        Pretty normal for middle-class people in some parts of the world.

          My middle-class parents had servants in the 60s (America, the South). They basically had “mammies” to cook and clean and raise the girls. LOL, like my useless mother ever had a day job. (Is “mammie” racist now?)

          I’ve thought of offering a deal to a homeless dude. “You can stay at my camp and do as you please, just do a little work here and there, make yourself scarce when I come around.”

          Would that be weird?

        When lemmy rails against “the rich” I doubt many have experience with the actually “wealthy”. Having servants living in separate quarters on your property is wealth. That kinda person is far above the 1%.

      Oh come on how’s some polite text messages creepy? Are we supposed to write a formal egg request letter or something?
