I’ve got a new job as a second assistant for a corporate bigwig (think Anne Hathaway’s character in ‘The Devil Wears Prada’), and the first assistant is explaining certain aspects of the job for me.

First Assistant: “Now there’s an item in his calendar for 10 AM every day, and it’s SUPER IMPORTANT that you tell him when it’s 10 AM, and that nothing is scheduled for 10 AM for him until 10:15 AM.”

Me: “Got it.”

First Assistant: “It’s so he remembers to take his meds.”

Me: “Yeah, that does sound important.”

First Assistant: “Yeah, the last time I went on vacation, there wasn’t anyone around to remind him, and by the end of the week, the voices were back…”

Me: “Uh…”

First Assistant: “And we found out just how flammable the meeting room office chairs were…”

Me: “Uhm…”

First Assistant: “But it’s fine, because you’re here now, so he’ll always have someone to remind him every day!”
