Paragraph ten:

You're jobless. I personally need a valet;

Take out the word "personally."
and:

It's better than nothing though.

Take out the word "though."
This:

The job's yours, complete with room and board, low-impact labor, good pay, holidays off and a vague and unspecific insurance plan.

Really cracked me up. There's some funny stuff in here and I like the way you set up what mayhem is to most certainly follow.

I think I may keep the personally (unless you provide me with more information as to why it should leave :P) though I did rewrite that sentence. With a comma! Oooh, comma.

Courtesy of cybermathwitch, actually: It's certainly better than nothing, though.

Very fancy, I know.

You and your commas. Crazy.

"Personally" just seems a bit redundant. Saying "I need a valet" provides no less information. If you want to keep it for emphasis, move it to the beginning of the sentence and stick *gasp* a comma after it.

Egad, not a comma! Fixed.

I like it. It makes me happy -- and it makes me wonder why on earth Jordan decides to adopt a drunk stranger.

Sorry for kind of nagging you into reading it.
