FYI... The reason I haven't posted in so long is because I came to not like blogger. I still want to keep my blog going but I just don't want to do it here on blogger anymore, and haven't wanted to in quite some time. When I started here, I thought it would work out great, but I quickly started to find bloggers workings to be annoying and incapable of doing what I wanted to. It may not make much sense to most, but I intend to make the switch from blogger to Wordpress. Why? Well there are a few reasons. First is ease of use and more control over the look and design of my blog. Second, and likely no one would even know unless I put it here, is the capability of mobile viewing. Yes, this means my few readers/visitors can see the blog with ease on their smartphones, whereas blogger doesn't give this functionality at this time. Next is the fact that in my Favorites/Bookmarks in my browser, I have a ton of sites that call WordPress home, in contrast to the single blogger site which I can nearly call deceased. Even some of my Anime Fan-subbing sites are WordPress based. So in general the purpose of this switch is due to my choosing control over ease of use. Like most choices in life, choosing the hard path usually contains the best rewards.
By the way... how many of you know that real butlers, maids and stewards are not extinct? I happened to find some very interesting facts and sites focus on this particular service industry while searching to find out if i could get a real personal maid for myself. I can honestly say that I feel great pity and endearment for the person who can take that role in my life. I have learned very grudgingly that I cannot function as a whole unless there is another person who can keep me on track. You might say that a personal assistant would work fine, but theres much more involved that I feel would be needed. I earn enough that I could possibly employ such a person but right now is not that time. And for the few who may ask why a maid and not a butler? Because I can honestly say that although I could empathize with a butler and they would be a great help, I find that a maid would be better suited for household purposes. Plus I would find it difficult to express myself to a butler. And for those who may think this rant is based on gender, you are completely wrong if you think only males can be butlers. My choice is simply based on job purpose.
Now, is a personal maid affordable? Not for most, and truth be told I'm not sure even I could pay properly. Average pay for a trained service member with at least graduating credentials is between $50k and $100k. If I looked and put an offer out for someone not trained, and offer to train them myself, I could possibly bring done the annual pay by at least 10-15k. I wouldn't mind training someone in that type of service, since they would be under my employ it would be, in a sense, customizing my maid to my own needs. STOP! Since you're reading this, I assume you've seen the rest of my posts and realize I love anime. Do I find the whole master/servant relationships and actions in anime intriguing? Oh heck yeah! I'd feel as if I had found my own utopia if that kind of thing happened with me. BUT! I understand the difference between fiction and reality, and I'd feel quite ashamed of myself if I sunk to the levels I've seen... at least without prompting from the other party.
Well that's enough of that little side show. See you over at Wordpress. I'll post the URL in a post here and on Facebook when it's ready.
