Why even put "general office IT" in the ad? Any task that can be described as such is far beneath the abilities of anyone meeting the other requirements. Whatever it means--Installing Office? Stringing cable? Deskside support?--this stuff can get done for $20/hr or less.

It only makes sense to ask a rockstar do-it-all to do it when you already got 40 hours from him, aren't paying OT, don't give a shit about his mental health, and are wringing as many hours as possible out of him to reduce the effective hourly rate.

This is the thinking of a scumbag cheapskate turd. No one who is paying a fair price for talent like this would waste it on vague low-level chores.
