#1 I thought there was a difference between being twentysomething and being twenty-four or twenty-five. I wanted to join the Peace Corps because I liked to travel and be around attractive people. The helping others aspect of it was not at the forefront of my mind.

#2 I decide not to apply for the Peace Corps, because I’m too old by the time I return. I take a new job at an agency called Lend-A-Hand, which matches people looking for someone to do a job for them with those who are desperate enough to do it.

#3 The Lend-A-Hand office is small and cluttered, and there is one woman who works there. She sits behind a desk with a stack of index cards on them. Each card has an available job on it. They range from cleaning apartments to catering waiter for a private party.

#4 When I try to decline the next cleaning assignment offered to me and hold out instead for one of the plummier catering gigs, the woman on the phone tells me that if I don’t take this job, I’ll never rise to the ranks of Upper East Side cater waiter. I accept the offer to clean the apartment of a disabled, gay octogenarian.
