Here’s today’s food for thought at A Fancy Word for Simple:
Your job is to focus on my personal happiness, she said, & I've got big plans, so break time is over.
---Brian Andres, Storypeople
I wonder--especially on Mondays--what it might be like to have a personal assistant. Someone whose job it would be do to all the things I don't like about my life . . . What tasks would you assign to your personal assistant?
- Grading papers (but I’d be happy to look at the papers of kids who need extra help when the PA is done)
- Routine paperwork
- Paying bills
- Scheduling appointments (nearly impossible with an elementary school teacher’s schedule—which is why I do a lot of doctor/dentist appointments during the summer)
- Planning dinner
- Loading and unloading the dishwasher
I’m sure there are others but these come most immediately to mind.
