In my continual quest to be creative in an attempt to find employment, I have recently been working on a new idea: Auctioning myself off on Ebay.
Yes, slavery did go out many years ago, so I won't attempt to sell myself as a slave, but more as a Voluntary Captive or .... (having a hard time thinking of the right term) - do YOU have any suggestions?
My 8 year old daughter Jacqueline will be out of the country for two full months this summer, which gives me an opportunity to travel and work whenever and (more importantly) wherever I want - or in this case, wherever the highest bidder wants. I plan on listing my services on Ebay for 60 days, with a reasonable reserve price (I cannot afford to work for nothing) and a very aggressive Buy It Now price of $50,000 - what do you think?
I'm hoping the winning bidder will want me to work someplace where the weather is good and preferably close to the ocean. I'd be especially happy to spend my time in slavery in southern California, Florida or Hawaii (or any number of tropical locations), but Auctionors cannot be choosers and I will go where I am wanted. It should be noted that in addition to paying the winning bid, the highest bidder also gets to pay for my travel and room and board during the two month period - IF I am required to leave the Puget Sound area.
What do you think about my idea of auctioning myself off on Ebay for two months? After reviewing my resume, what do you think a fair price is?
