Blogger Hired Woman to Slap him whenever he logged into any social networking site
When San Francisco-based blogger Maneesh Sethi realized he was wasting too much time on Facebook, YouTube and Reddit, he resolved to change his work habits.
His solution: Pay someone $8 an hour to slap him when it appears he’s wasting time on a social network.
The full Craigslist ad reads:
Hey!
I’m looking for someone who can work next to me at a defined location (my house or a mission cafe) and will make sure to watch what is happening on my screen. When I am wasting time, you’ll have to yell at me or if need be, slap me.
You can do your own work at the same time. Looking for help asap, in mission, near 16th mission BART.
Compensation: $8 / hour, and you can do your own work from your computer at the same time.
The ad, unsurprisingly, received about 20 responses within the first 60 minutes.
