I have this idea. I really think my perfect mate is a personal assistant to a celebrity. I am not seeking a personal assistant but someone to date. And I am not looking to meet a PA just to get close to a celebrity--if I don't have to actually see the celebrity that would be ideal. Ultimately, I find being a second fiddle to the celebrity a pro and not a con.
However, if this will work the SF personal assistant must fall under these strict guidelines.
Your title is strictly personal assistant not:
Spiritual advisor. (Nor does your celebrity have a personal traveling spiritual advisor)
A stylist. (Although you may assist with that function it isn't your sole responsibility)
A sibling or relative. (You have absolutely no blood relation to the celebrity)
Your celebrity boss has:
No entourage or very limited entourage.
Limited security. (Ostensibly for events only)
Talent. (Preferably, but not a deal breaker)
Your celebrity is not:
A rapper (I can't be worried about stray bullets)
One of those who have three occupations: actress, singer, model, co-wrote book (any combination of the three)
Naomi Campbell. (It is a well documented fact they have been mentally and physically abused. Can't deal with that, those things have detrimental effects.
You take these aspects of your job home with you (Preferably to a home on the Westside):
You are too tired to nag because you have been run ragged
Excels at the assistant's need for intuition. (Knowing what the person needs before he or she needs it)
I was told I would be second fiddle to the celebrity: not a con but a pro.
Preparedness. (Always having change for the meter and always knowing where the nearest Coffee bean or Starbucks)
Understand that the only difference between an argument and a conversation is one person is an idiot.
You leave these aspects of your job at work:
Sweating the small stuff.
Any story that involves you being humiliated.
The stress of handling the particular needs of the celebrity
It goes without saying if you are Tom Cruise's assistant you do not meet the above criteria.

You are hysterical.
Sounds like you've done that PA job yourself, eh?
