Ideal for: big fans of the royal family.
Job Specifications: No, you do not watch over His
Royal Highness’ chair. (You wish.) Your job is to hand him the newspaper (or
Ye Reader’s Digest), look away, and once he’s done, wipe his bum with a
diamond shaped piece of linen called a “diper”.
Drawbacks: This job raises the phrase “kiss your boss’ ass” to a whole new
level. While the position does mean that the King trusts you completely, and
that you are paid handsomely for a task that you need only perform once or
twice a day (depending on what he had for lunch), the bottom line is… it’s a
“crappy” job. Those pints of ale and roasted venison are likely to wreak
havoc on the digestive system, which may mean that you’ll have to befriend
the royal cook to serve him a little fibre in the next meal.
Perks: As member of the royal inner circle (heck, even the inner chambers)
you wield great power and influence on the court. Just don’t expect anyone
to kiss your hand.
