What should my ideal PA do?

Is it glamour or output? Do you really bother to look at her or would you say you only see her work?

Are you one of those bosses? who looks through pince-nez glasses, at the type written sheets that come out of her processor, or are you one of those people who just expect the work to be completed in the shortest amount of time?

Do you have a Miss Moneypenny, cool, alert on the job, conservative yet intelligent, hardly noticing the way that all your appointments are organized?

Is there something about the way she delivers your agenda, with a smart suit, correct voice and writes in shorthand?

Or are you one of those leader's who depends so much on your girl Friday to help you out, when all around you is chaos, and the deadline is in a few hour's time?

Suddenly CRASH she doesn't come in ? there is an unforeseen problem, she either gets ill, or her daughter needs her attention ? you get absolutely frustrated ? you pull your hair out ? God knows the deadline is tomorrow ? what are you going to do?

You are panicking, your taking Valium, Jesus what's going to happen?.Oh my God!

This couldn't have come at a badder time, could it? Years end accounts in tomorrow!

You call Brook Street Temporary Agency, and they start asking for you to fill in loads of forms, and you realize that you are immersed in bureaucracy ? crazy isn't it. The temp turns up and you find out that she's dyslexic'Oh my God!

Then you suddenly think of an idea. Why not use a ? Isn't that guy Perry going on and on about that?

You remember Timothy Ferris who wrote the Four Hour Workweek, and that company he uses ? now what was it?

Catch Friday that firm in London, who use personnel in the Philippines.

You call them and they prompt you to look at their website ? easy you pay online, and within thirty minutes Jo is doing the work for you at a fraction of your regular cost ? you can't believe it ? the work is submitted before the deadline comes ? they work all night on your project, and your sense of relief is incredible.

Catch Friday tomorrow, and you will not be disappointed, pay and you can choose when they do the work.

Whatever the task, if it can be done by someone else, why not?
