For those of you who don’t remember, I started blogging – my other now-retired blog, Sensible Shoes - when I was in library school. I’ve been done for over two years now and have yet to work in a library. I did, for a short time, volunteer in one, helping to migrate their old website to a new one since nobody there knew HTML. And in doing so, I learned to use Drupal, which seems to provoke a strong love or hate reaction from anybody who is familiar with it. I’ll admit that I kind of enjoyed being the only person – unpaid, mind you – present who could make it do its magic.
Anyway. I have yet to use any of my actual library-oriented skills to earn a paycheck. The time spent volunteering has yet to make it onto my resume, because really, who uses Drupal? Oh, here’s someone who does!
Live-In Editorial Assistant wanted for internationally renowned media sexologist and institute director, recently featured on Nightline, as well as on HBO, Playboy, WeTV and other media…
In exchange for your part-time work, we will give you room and board in the Institute’s fabulous spacious loft, including your own private room, DSL, phone, maid service, tech support, bar and kitchen access, some gourmet home-cooked meals, recording studio, erotic art gallery, awesome eclectic ambiance, 17,000 square feet of space to work and play in (basically, $2000/month of room, board & amenities) with an exciting, vibrant, socialist-style, capitalist-oriented community of artists, technologists and sex therapists…
You should be able to do basic HTML. Familiarity with Drupal and/or CSS would be awesome, though not required.
Sadly, much like my own experience using Drupal, it doesn’t look like there is an actual salary involved.

ETA: Oh hey, this job – which wants some graduate level cataloging coursework – at least pays minimum wage.
Puh-leeze.
