oMG! if you’ve followed my blogs, you know I work basically 24/7 for a
celebrity. And even if you don’t follow me, I still have the same job
folks – ha. A while ago I had to put in a pond at said celeb house -
read back – funny stuff.

Anywho, in a nutshell I’m overworked.

Guess what? I’m going on a 2 week vacation! Whoo hoo! In my  w orld
this is huge! Just wanted to share.

Of course he is freaked out but I said dude you’ll be on location and
don’t need me so i’ m going!!

Hope the job is there when I get back – ha!

If you are new to my site:

The Mystery Bloggers are all celebrity personal assistants who prefer to not use their real names or to identify who they work for. That said, they do tell stories about what it’s like to be them — this is their forum — a safe place for them to vent, laugh, cry, whatever.

Scroll down and you will find headings like this:  MYSTERY BLOGGER for all the past blogs they have done. Some day I would love to take all their stories and put them in Book #2! They also have their own pull down tab (up top of the site).

Your comments are always welcome on any of the blog entries.

Thanks for visiting!

Happy New Year everyone.

Not much to report EXCEPT that if you read my last entry from a few weeks ago I had to handle a flood in my boss’s house. Well, just before Christmas we had some heavy rain and then snow (didn’t everyone?!!) and of course WE get a leak in the roof.

It’s just so weird that anything having to do with water and my guy do not mix. Like oil and vinegar. Same principle. But we got it all patched up naturally.

Hope you had a good holiday. Here’s to a fun (and less water filled) 2010!

What the heck is the problem with my boss and WATER?  Insert a picture of a frustrated assistant here Shelley! ———————->

If you’ve read my past blogs (If not, why aren’t you reading them! They are funny and tragic at the same time.) If you’ve read my past blogs, you know that the boss has challenges with pools, ponds and technology.

And the universe conspires against me the second he leaves town, I swear to God!  So, of course he left town yesterday and today I got a panicked call from a neighbor who is watching over his summer home – big leak in the kitchen! Flood in the dining room!

Why am I surprised? Ha. Oh well, damage to the kitchen cabinets not too bad actually.

Just another day in the life of….

Hi there. Did you miss me? Well I always try to wait to blog until I have something interesting to say, unlike Shelley (just kidding).

Here is my thing. I seem to always have to handle a disaster (or two) the minute my boss leaves town. Coincidence? I don’t think so. Karma? Maybe.

So, the boss is on vacation in the South of France for two weeks. YAY! Continue Reading…

Hello there.

Some of you may remember that a year ago (hard to believe it was that long ago) my boss went out of the country and left me with a nightmare project to handle because he didn’t handle it before he left. This was the pond project. I wrote extensively about my frustrations with the entire process (some of it was actually kind of funny) over the past year.

The pond was finally built.

it developed string algae.

A LOT of string algae. Continue Reading…

Hi everyone.

I have been traveling so I apologize for not writing a blog in a while. Luckily Shelley still loves me no matter what!

I wanted to write a tribute to all the people who passed the last few weeks but my heart just isn’t in it.

Instead, a short blog about the boss man. For those who followed my exploits that began last summer with the pond blogs….all appears to be well with the pond as of today. Anything could happen tomorrow though! Continue Reading…

Hello all. I just realized I haven’t sent Shelley a blog since February – eek!

Not much to say really. Work is same old, same old.  I do want to say how much I enjoy reading this blog and what the other “mystery” bloggers have to say about their jobs. It puts my job into perspective when I read about what they are going through.

So I hope you keep reading here. And Shelley’s e-zine is kinda fun too. Oh and I guess she is on tweeter now? I need to check that out.

More later…

PS  For those who care, yes, the boss still has a pond and now it has koi in it.

hey blogworld!
so it’s been a while, a long while, so long i feel that i have no excuse, but actually i do.

i started working again.

for those who are pa’s, epa’s or estate managers, basically saying ‘i started working again’ explains everything. i am back to crazy hours, non stop phones, scheduling, fires to be put out, emails to respond… you get the idea.

plus the hardest part has been trying to figure out what i can actually write about that isn’t going to get me fired. Continue Reading…
