Help Wanted<\/p>\n

Must be able to tell me when I am about to do something asinine without realizing it.
\nMust also be able to prevent me from doing things I know are asinine which I still plan on doing.
\nMust have an accurate built in lie detector.
\nMust want what is best for me even when I think I don’t deserve it.
\nMust be able to tell me to stop beating myself up all the time while still being willing to kick my ass when it’s warranted.
\nMust be a good judge of character. <\/p>\n

Ability to interpret intentions strongly preferred.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
