Slavery newly defined

As ever, things go from left to right and bottom to top overhere. In random order;

1. We are considering taking 2 cats.
Yes.
There's this guy who has commented on my weblog and when I read his' I learned that in January he's leaving for Guatemala for a yr, has sold his house but now needs a place to stall his cats.
6 yrs old, a brother and a sister.
So I spoke to him today and he's coming over Sunday evening to see if we would be a good fit.
I mean, I warned him that his cats may have some sort of culture shock from going to a 1 person household to a 5 person (at least) household were they could easily be laserbeamed one minute and see flying objects coming over the other. Not to speak of the soundlevel (noise) that may vary greatly in this house, especially compared to his -again- 1 person household.

2. Now in the grown-ups world I have a job.
I even have my own recruitment and temporary job agency, specialized in financial, HRM and ICT specialists.
With my husband (a former director of an ICT firm, but specialized in HRM) being unemployed there ought to be a win-win situation possible and Yes, coming Friday I am going to introduce him as a temporary project manager at a multimedia client of mine.
This evening at the dinner table I was talking to R. about how I hoped I could keep a straight face when for instance questions about his personal life were being asked.
T. Heard me say something about a "client" and asked me what it was exactly that my job entailed.
Wow.
How do I explain this to a kid.
Coz he thought I had a shop.
Coz when you have a shop you have clients.

So I said to him I didn't have a real shop, I simply had an office but I did sell something. I sold people. Well not really people but I sold their labor to our clients, so they would do jobs at those client's place.

Right said T.
You have slaves.
