Re: Yesterday’s Post

Excellent advice from a brilliant friend.

Meredith: Don’t fire you. An Olympic anything would probably be too muscly. What you need to do is promote yourself and delegate more.

Me: You’re brilliant. What I need are worker bees. And also, I agree about the muscle thing. Who wants to look at that all day?

Meredith: Better yet, a stagaire – with the vague promise of MAYBE getting to be you one day. (As long as they don’t work out too much)

Meredith is a GENIUS!!

I need to start delegating immediately.

I don’t think one intern is going to cut it though. I probably need a whole crew.

I’m going to need somebody to go to work for me every day.

I need a pet/plant-sitter.

I’m going to need somebody to keep the house clean and make nutritious well balanced vegan breakfasts, lunches, and suppers for my family.

I will also need a singer songwriter, a burlesque performer, an actress and a novelist to fulfill my life long career dreams.

I’ll also be hiring an army of high energy teen-wranglers, well versed in the art of negotiation, discipline, and insult deflection. Immunity to eye rolling, huffing and puffing, clucking and “tsk”ing and asset.

I’ll probably need a small computer-savvy social media networking team to update my blogs, facebook, twitter etc…

This team will also be responsible for commenting on all my favourite blogs, updating my amazon wish list, re-posting controversial celebrity gossip articles and cute baby animal pics, photoshopping my head onto photos of chicks with hot bodies, world travellers on vacation and goat farmers and facebook-stalking my ex-boyfriends their new girlfriends.

That should do it. With all my new found freedom I should finally be able to spend a little me-time; doing the things I have been neglecting for years now like practice the violin, take Italian classes, exercise, meditate, shower etc…

Why didn’t I think of this years ago?
