Do you think this is for real?

I've never heard of a PA job that included giving massages before. So yeah I think she was very wise.

I posted an advert looking for any kind of part-time work on Gumtree.co.uk and today I got a reply from a businessman who wants a sort of PA type person for 10 hours a week in London.

He's asked if I could do the normal sorts of things, making sure that his bills are paid, shopping, organising dinners and meetings etc. It all sounds pretty legit.
But he's also asked if I could occasionally give him massages. Which he added would inadvertently be whilst he was naked. Erm...

The money is excellent, £15 an hour. But I'm ever so slightly dubious. I've got a telephone interview with him tomorrow and if he wants to meet then I'll make sure it's in a very public place and probably take a friend with me.

But there's this niggling little worry that he's asking for more than PA work.

Any advice, I really need the money but I'm not willing to prostitute myself!!!!

haha funniest post in a long time, reminds me of friends

omg wow. i never though gumtree could get so many responses!

go u! let us know what u do in the end

He wrote back this morning and was pretty cool, understanding even. Then I got another message asking if I was interested in any extra cash just give him a call and he would get me some work to do. Whatever that means.

Haha, anyway. With my new and improved Gumtree ad, I woke up this morning and found in my inbox 18 employers enquiring my ad! 18!!?!??! Random as hell. I'm a terrible journalist if that's just because of a few words haha.

Oooh and an audition for an Endemol Game Show. How cool is that? I could win up to £100,000. That would be sooo cool.

"massage" is almost synonymous with sex in these kind of scenarios. the fact that he added "naked" makes it slightly less subtle that usual. forget the naked massages, it sounds like he's be asking for a lot more once you had the job, and would assume that you understood his "subtle" terminology.

I replied very politely I am not trained, but there are many reputable massage therapists within close proximity to his area.

50 quid an hour, jeez I'm worth 4 times as much as that...
