Because books.

Oh, much health~ma to Cindy. A couple of times when I took Zithromax, I would start to get better -- and then a week later be sick again. You might need something stronger. My doctor has given me Levaquin in the past, which is prett heavy duty.

Oh my...tossing health ~ma to all who need it with the vehemence of one who is enjoying the first day of uprightitude since Thursday when some vicious virus or other felled me...ded. Days of body aches and fever followed by days of too-low temperature and weakness.

The fact that I'm strong today feels odd and proving of the miraculousness of life, etc.

Health and ease to you Cindy.

Jon! Good on ya with the White Castle deal...I love the WKTVS video! How could the suits NOT be charmed/bowled over by that? And happy "Jon's new year" to you.

In my speeding past the unsurprising volume of posts over the last 4 days sheesh that I missed, I saw baseball congratulations owed, fantastic cooking reports and much more that deserves notice. Huzzah and hugs to everyone.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Inspiration-ma to the doctor, Cindy. May he be able to help you with your health and anxiety issues.

Better-ma to vw too.

I'm doing some research today and wondering if the hivemind has any thoughts on the following question:

How much should a CEO of a smallish firm (5 million in assets) pay for a personal assistant? What's the hourly on someone who untangles and solves practical problems?

This is not picking up dry cleaning, but reviewing systems, setting up new systems, dealing with longstanding issues, creating contacts where they have been lost, etc.

I've done this sort of thing for non-profits in years past, but not yet for an individual. Not sure what to charge.

I'm not even sure how to calculate the self-employment costs to make the final rate worth it for me.

Challenge!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

First off, demand a pony.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

How much should a CEO of a smallish firm (5 million in assets) pay for a personal assistant? What's the hourly on someone who untangles and solves practical problems?

Look on craigslist for your area, and determine what the going rate is for PAs. Then determine how much value a PA would add to your firm and figure out if it is worth the cost.
