I’m actually his personal assistant which is essentially a catch-all kinda job. I don’t cook full meals for him but he loves my eggs so he asked me to do this for him.
Also this is a little weird, I figured when people figured out what kind of egg they like they just stick with it (omelettes being the exception since that’s basically a meal)
The only part that weirds me out a little is that those are the only messages! OP will have to tell us, is this like a chat dedicated just to egg requests, or does their boss not message them with anything else over text, ever?
Someone posted about a selfish boss while being a PA not too long ago.
She had scheduled time off finally and was with family when the boss wanted to go on a trip and needed her for the kids. She said no and he wasn’t happy.
When I mention this to friends they always think it’s weird, but I envy jobs like yours. How did you ever start in this kind of work, if you don’t mind me asking?

Are you at least paid well?
And I second at least he says please.

Yes, he’s generous. Well, soft boiled are his favorite but he also likes a bit of variety.
Fair enough! Sometimes variety is nice.

Other texting is through Whatsapp for some reason. +he generally prefers to call.
He’s not just gonna fully dox his egg preferences to Zuck like that
You should do an AMA.

For a European this is weird… and unacceptable. if you want to bring something to the office to share, fine but to demand? thats madness!
Nothing weird about having a job.
I don’t think you understand what a personal assistant is. No, it is not an assistant position at an office.

Finding a trustworthy, super-organized, and reliable personal assistant is like finding a goddamn unicorn.
Having someone take care of the details so that you can focus on what you are good at is invaluable. I hope you are appreciated.
