Sometimes I idly daydream about moving somewhere else. Today it’s London — or it was, until I started browsing around the job openings on London’s Craigslist. Holy cow, London is one pervy town. They seemed so polite! Who knew. A few examples from the Administrative Assistant section (which I only went to in desperation after the Writing/Editing section was a complete bust):

First of all, to whom does this English belong? Because it is definitely not the Queen’s English. Except the third one, which is somehow creepier because it’s grammatically correct.
Second, I guess “personal assistant” has a different meaning in the U.K.? It’s weird though because all these guys seem to want assistance with the same thing and I’ve always believed this was one of the few things men were capable of doing on their own.
