The first job I ever had was as general factotum in the offices of a large bakery. The job was a total bore, relieved only by the delicious cronuts served with morning coffee.
Hi Sandra - David's got it right ... and I just looked it up - it goes back as far as 1591 ... when Robert Greene (dramatist) admonishes Shakespeare amongst others ... I now need some nourishment - where's the cronut? Cheers Hilary
I had no idea about the donut/ croissant cross. My hubby would say he is a Factotum to the house, critters and me. He can really play up the Miss Pitty Pat. ( From Gone with thr Wind)

I badly need a factotum. I wonder whether a male or female factotum would be better.
I do know what a cronut is, but I've never eaten one.

Wow, never heard of a cronut.
I had heard of a cronut but never had one!
Easier to say chief, cook, and bottle washer. Hmm, not sure about the cronut. Donuts, yes. Croissants, yes. Enjoy your day

Good job on knowing cronut, Andrew. I could use a factotum too. Either male or female;)
Another good one, David. A pastry could certainly relieve my boredom.
I believe I'm a factotum to my pets too. I would love a cronus! Xo
That's fascinating, Hils! Thanks for sharing. Cheers,
LOL. Sure, Donna....Wink. Wink.
Hugs received and returned.
Jamie, I've heard of them, but I don't think I've ever had one.
Same here, Jeanie.
CJ, True that. I'd like to at least try a cronut:)
Birgit, Nice that you have your own factotum:)
Denise, You are indeed and I'm with you on the cronut:)

I knew cronut
No lo sabía. Te mando un beso.
I've never tried a cronut. It's never really appealed to me -- but crookies on the other hand...
Good job on knowing that, Christine.
Thanks. Sending you a hug, J.P.
Damy, Ooh, that sounds good too:)
