[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop pilfering from work, and hire a personal assistant like a normal person.

Do you really want your office admin staff to know about the lump on your privates or whatever? [/quote]

Do normal ppl hire personal assistants? [/quote]

Depends on what you mean by regular people?

I am in sales.  I have someone that I pay a $2k monthly retainer to be "available", $500 of that is theirs right off the top.  If it is just something that is a phone call or they can do on computer they charge $25 for 30 min increments.  If they need to leave their house 
they charge $50/half hour from time they leave till time they return home.

It's a simple formula. I assign myself an hourly rate based on how much I plan to or need to earn in a month.    If whatever I need to do, buy, experience will keep me from earning that much I outsource it.  If my rate is $400 an hour, and I need to go grab dry cleaning a pick up lunch, paying someone $100 to do those two thing for me is worth it.  I am still up $300, where if I did it and it took about an hour I would be near zero.[/quote]
