Hiring a personal assistant. HELP

yeah, obviously your biggest concern is making her your bitch for a small nominal fee. the problem with hiring people that you know is that you want to keep the relationship professional otherwise they will feel that they can take advantage of you. If this is not possible just avoid the situation.

This is good advice. This has happened every time I've hired someone that I've had a previous social relationship with.

It also makes things awkward between you since basically what it really comes down to it is that you feel your time is too important to waste on these menial tasks yet obviously her time isn't. I don't know if that is common or if it is just me. I leave the house before the maid arrives because I don't feel comfortable having her clean while I sit and do nothing.

Yeah, I have to do the same thing, otherwise I feel like too big of a dbag (which is a difficult task).

Her roommate seems very receptive to the idea of working for me and smiled at me yesterday

Uh. Are you sure just want a personal assistant?

If you really want someone who is going to do a good job, without the headaches...RUN away from this situation...and hire someone you do not know personally.

get her to clean your bathroom with a toothbrush
