Now that I’m employed I was thinking about getting some help. Perhaps there is some young bright eyed bushy tailed college student aspiring to a future in the personal assistant industry. Is that an industry? Whatever. I’m willing to gift that experience.
Here’s my intern daydream –
Intern: Good Morning, Miss A. Here’s your breakfast.
I sit up in bed, removing my sleeping mask, which I don’t have.
Me: Thank you, Peggy Sue.
Intern: That’s not my name.
Me : I don’t have time for this. Add learning your name to my calendar.
Intern: I’ve scheduled it for this afternoon.
DAY PROGRESSES
Intern leaving for the evening: I’ve sorted through your emails; processed the request for appearances, Yes to Oprah, no to Nolan; created a cover for your book; sent your sisters birthday gifts; made your bed and finished your laundry.
Me: I love you Peggy Sue.
Intern: My name’s not Peggy Sue.
Me: Add a reminder to learn your name to my calendar.
Have You Ever Made an Intern Do Your Laundry?

Interns aren’t humans. I see no reason to give them more credit than is due them.

Teaching assistants are kind of like interns, right? I keep asking for a teaching assistant to help me with my full-time high school course load — and preferably a TA with an English degree — and the principal keeps laughing at me. I don’t think I’m making as much progress on this as I’d like.

That would be good enough. Still can’t have one, though. 😦 Alas.

Lol! I was an intern once. I discovered the math formula to solve war, disease and poverty for all time. Alas, it got shredded at the end of the working day, like all the rest of the intern work, and next day I couldn’t remember what I’d written…

When you find the PA who does your laundry, you better learn her name in a hurry!

Good point.

I’ll call my PA by any names she wishes. I’ve been retired seven years and have daydreamed about having one. I simply don’t have time to do housework nowadays and misplace things. A PA would make my life heaven. 🙂

Don’t recall ever being an “intern”. I think it was called a “trial period” then the potential employer would either bring you on board with pay or not hire you.
