Even the part time maid is getting more expensive. She won't even dress in her provided uniform. Can you imagine that? Jeez, the help these days. $20,000 would cover the cost of my manicures, plus tip of course, and a full time maid. In the meantime I'm forced to put my own dirty underwear into the hamper. HELP! I can't find the washing machine!
