What would you wish for?

If you could have a personal servant to do just one service for you (but was always there whenever you wanted it done) what would it be? I think I would like someone to tune my zithers for me. I'd really like to play one of them right now, but there's SO many strings to tune...

probably do house cleaning...

Too broad. You have to identify one particular task that particularly drives you crazy, like scrubbing the bathtub (which might have been my choice if I didn't have all these zithers).

I'd have my servant tune your zithers.

Thanks, B. You're a mensch!

Off the top of my head, I'd go with laundry. Ooh, or back-ups! A personal servant that made back-ups for you; that would be handy.

But the rule is that you have to tell them to do it. You have a personal servant that makes backups whenever you tell it: the computer will do it.

Hmm. You're right of course. I was thinking of a personal servant to make back-ups (and take one of the multiples off site) even if I didn't ask. And to, of course, retrieve them immediately when I wanted.

Can it be all of house cleaning, as Michael wished for? If so, that's mine, no contest. However, if it can be only one task, I choose scrub floors. I can't do it, because I can't kneel, and no one else around here cares whether the floors get scrubbed or not, and mopping just doesn't get all the dirt and stains from 6 people and 2 cats (especially on the %&$#*&%@# cheap flooring that the guy who rehabbed this house used).

Vacuming. It combines two thing I hate; it's noisy, and it smells bad.
