I’ve taken an apprentice.
He’ll be helping out around the place. Tidying, picking up
dry cleaning, cooking meals, washing dishes, and so forth.
If I need to go out, he’ll chauffeur me and wait while I run
whatever errand I need or, more likely, he’ll run the errand for me.
I’ll be getting him some kind of day job, and cashing his
paychecks.
I haven’t decided yet if I want one of his kidneys or not.
This is valuable experience for him.
And, in addition, I’ll be teaching him everything I know
about abusing the apprenticeship system for personal gain…
I, too, have several apprentices. They are called "my children."
ReplyDeletePoor apprentice. Really like this line: This is valuable experience for him.
ReplyDeleteValuable indeed.
A kidney? I don't think I'd apply for that apprenticeship.
ReplyDeleteThis might also work for intern!
ReplyDeleteI think ganymeder is right. Look for the new animated classic, "The Sorcerer's New Intern." ;-)
