Last year I had a sword (even if it was plastic) to smack people with. Though I did end up Knighting a few people.
Man... I really need to spend time with the NTG crowd at Spiceworld...

Indentured servitude was a labor system whereby young people paid for their passage to the New World by working for an employer for a certain number of years. It was widely employed in the 18th century in the British colonies in North America and elsewhere. It was especially used as a way for poor youth in Britain and the German states to get passage to the American colonies. They would work for a fixed number of years, then be free to work on their own. The employer purchased the indenture from the sea captain who brought the youths over; he did so because he needed labour. Some worked as farmers or helpers for farm wives, some were apprenticed to craftsmen. Both sides were legally obligated to meet the terms, which were enforced by local American courts. Runaways were sought out and returned. About half of the white immigrants to the American colonies in the 17th and 18th centuries were indentured. During the late 17th and early 18th centuries poor children from England and France were kidnapped and sold into indentured labor in the Caribbean for a minimum of five years, but most times their contracts were bought and sold repeatedly and some laborers never attained their freedom.[1]

Lest we also forget all of the millions born into slavery, captured and sold as slaves, by default because of their skin colour alone. Up until recently slavery was a normal part of human life and culture, which is completely crazy in hindsight.
And I'd say that a couple of days of being "paid for your time and travel" is hardly even indentured servitude and really is only trivialising real servitude and slavery. When you're paid, you're not a slave. She may be a queen, but she's still paying you and if you run away I don't think there's anything she can do about it, surely not have you hunted down and recaptured. So doesn't sound anything like being an indentured servant to me....

They will be getting some IT knowledge and lots of Marketing/Sales training if they pay attention.

Have you met the Minion Queen? If it wasn't so blase she would have us all in dog collars and leashes, just to keep us close to her ever changing whims.

I'd be careful, some people may be too into that for comfort

Yeah, I could do it... next year. This year is a bit crammed around that time.
ĀFor selection next year, I present a list of my koalafications
- I am designated pack animal at weddings, picnics, shopping trips and other various events where stuff needs to be shifted/carried.
- I don't drink a lot
- I can use a big scary voice to make minions cower before me
- I'd have no idea where I would be going so I'd need to tag along with someone
- I can Hip n Shoulder like a freight train
- I can be incredibly silly and fun without being intoxicated.
Ā
EDIT: above submitted for lulz, it's far too expensive to get there (even if you did pay for it, NTG might go bust ) -
For those unfamiliar with the ol' Hip n Shoulder:
