I manage his schedule and monitor his emails, as well as help organise some of his travel, company events, and client dinners, occasional research, expenses and ad hoc tasks – all the general PA duties. There are some fab vietnamese restaurants – I’m partial to a kimchi banh mi.

Where the press interview was taking place also becomes an issue - pick too nice of a restaurant and they have expensive taste. So when you book travel, be mindful how it can portray your boss and if they care. Personal details do come to light in articles, expense reports, and in social media.

I travel far to try and find a full-serve station, but they are becoming extinct. It was expensive,but when I brought it home I had to do all the work to get it up and running. Now, there doesnt seem to be a difference in price at all, it is just common practice that we have to do it ourselves. Recently, I bought a new laptop.

Make sure that tasks directly associated with clients come first, consider the financial impact of a project and its completion date on the company, don’t let deadlines control the priority list (expense reports can wait when there are more important tasks), and consider cause and effect (do A to enable B, which accomplishes C).

He wrote in one sentence that he had " expensive experience" instead of "extensive" and in another wrote "tits" instead of "its." He relied totally on spell check so you can imagine what typos were missed. He was a lawyer and in this particular letter he was writing to a prospective client. Good thing I checked.

The last time I went to a restaurant, I checked online for a menu before calling to make reservations. And we’d rather choose a person with a presentable photo versus someone who might be a better match.

If, for example, employees are more expensive and they’re asking for raises more frequently, then maybe it’s going to accelerate the adoption of automation technologies that are discussed in one of the chapters or generative AI tools like Chat, GPT.
