Chores

Examples of chores that slaves can expect:
The Mistress is desirous of a gardener, The priorities of gardening take precedent over all other duties of labor, save the duty to earn wages. To this end, the slave will study gardening for the Southwest, and, should the Mistress relocate to another climate, the slave will study gardening for that area. The slave will attend classes and lectures, read books, talk to other gardeners, join gardening clubs, submit a list of needs to the Mistress for the purpose of the care and keeping of her plants, or whatever other methods need reasonably be employed for the purpose of being a worthy gardener, and do his utmost to make sure that the Mistress' garden, plants for landscaping décor, and house plants flourish.
The slave will be absolutely required to clean the Mistress home and the slave quarters, in addition to gardening duties and earning his wages. Since the slave has no absolute schedule for his wage earning work, there will be allowed the ability to transfer one day's work to another day, on the days when the slave must be working for his wages for an extended period of time which keeps him from his housekeeping, as the wage earning does take priority. In general, however, the housekeeping, and other duties currently known to be needed to be performed by the slave at the time of signing of the contract (starting when he has relocated to the “slave house” ) will be and go, without excluding possible additions, subtractions or alterations of duties as the Mistress sees fit, as such:

1. On all days:
a. the preparation of breakfast, lunch and dinner, following suggestions, menu plans, or guidelines provided by the Mistress; unless, of course, the Mistress chooses otherwise. This includes helping the Mistress to prepare meals if she so chooses, serving the meals to the Mistress, and the making and serving of any beverages or snacks as required by the Mistress.
b. Cleaning the kitchen after the preparation and/or serving of each meal, snack or beverage, including the rinsing of dishes, putting away of leftovers and condiments, and ensuring that, by the end of the day, the dishes will be clean, dry, and put away, the kitchen will be tidy, and all trash (including from other rooms) will be removed from the home of the Mistress and the slave by 10 pm at the latest, unless instructed otherwise by the Mistress.
c. Chauffeuring Mistress to shopping, movies, visits with friends, or other forms of entertainment, to doctor's appointments, or wherever else the Mistress may need, or wish, to go, as the Mistress prefers; and, joining or aiding Mistress in these excursions as she sees fit.
d. Possible assistance to the Mistress in the pursuit of her artwork, as needed, in whatever way is needed.
e. Cleaning kitchen, living room, bathroom, bedroom(s), hallway(s), etc. as needed, generally as prescribed by the Mistress through her 15-minute room clean up plans.
f. The slave will be responsible for all laundry duties, including learning which garments need to be cleaned by hand washing, dry cleaning, separation of darks, whites and colored garments as is necessary (which it is not always necessary); proper washing, removing all soaps that might irritate the Mistress' delicate flesh; the use of dryer sheets or fabric softener; learning to “turn out” fleece garments; stain removal; cleaning of equipment and laundry room; folding; ironing; and, putting away garments in the correct place and in the correct fashion. The slave will keep track of the dirty laundry and at any time there is enough for a load, it will be completed immediately. If the Mistress discovers anything folded or hung incorrectly, it will be redone. If a garment is destroyed, through the fault of the slave, then the slave may have to pay for a new garment, pay the price of the old garment, and/or may be physically punished for this carelessness.
2. On Mondays: After a training period, the slave will take over the majority of the work of the Mistress at her work as copy editor. This work may also need to be done on Thursday, Friday, Saturday or Sunday, but, is usually done, in the majority, on Monday and usually lasts between 4 - 10 hours.
3. On Tuesdays: Traveling to the house of the sister of the Mistress to clean living room, kitchen, and bathroom in manner prescribed by the Mistress, except where reasonably altered to suit the needs of the sister. However, this may be transferred to another day, at the will of the sister.
3. On Saturdays: Washing of clothes for both Mistress and slave, if needed.
4. On Sundays: Chauffeuring to meeting.
