Subject: Movin' on up!

Guess who is movin' on up the ol' corporate ladder? Me! I have been informed that I get to hire my own assistant. We've gotten so busy that I apparently need someone to schedule meetings, do research, help me with new business proposals, etc. I'm big time now.

Oooh. Fun. I've always wanted to hire an assistant. I'm sure you'll be a great boss.

Me, too. Not that I think I'm going to be a great boss, but that I've always wanted an assistant. But more I think about it, I do think I'll be a good boss - fair, supportive, fun.

Just remember that you're the boss, not a friend or a colleague. Being fair and supportive is great, but you've also got to set expectations and be firm.

Hmmm. Maybe I'm not up for this after all.

You'll be fine. Just remember to wear something professional – not that purple sweater you seem to favor – when you do the interviews, to set the right tone.

See below for an exchange between me and Ashley. Don't say it!

Well, after dating/being engaged to you this long and acting as your personal assistant, it's nice to know there is someone to help me.

What do you mean, my assistant?

Who schedules everything for you and keeps track of all of your stuff? That would be me. Let's just say the hours are long and the pay is lousy. I hope to be a better boss to my assistant.

Ouch! I'll show you who's boss tonight.

Subject: Boston Babe

I just interviewed a great candidate to be my assistant. She's got a year of experience at another PR firm, wants to learn and move up the corporate ladder and went to school in Boston, which as we know is my favorite American city. The only problem is that she's super hot – tall, leggy but thankfully not blonde. If I don't hire her, is that discrimination?

Subject: Re: Boston Babe

Now that you've put it in writing, yes that is discrimination.

Damn! I think you're right. Darn electronic footprint! Oh well, I was going to hire her anyway. She's the best person for the job, even if she's gorgeous and young. And her name is Skye.

Subject: Re: Boston Babe

Of course her name is Skye. I will now refer to her as Skinny Skye. Will she have access to your email account?

Subject: Re: Boston Babe

No, that will still be password protected – thankfully. So we can talk about our insane jealousy of her without fear of discovery or reprisal. So feel free to tell me something completely unfit for the workplace. I'm all ears!

Excellent. Wish I could dazzle you with inappropriate stories of sexual adventures but I've gotta run. Mwah! Mwah!

Skinny Skye is on board. She starts next Monday.
