I too used to be an admin assistant...good times. In a nutshell, the minute they hang the "executive" title on you, you're fair game. Like the fifth wife in a harem is expected to cater to the other four bitches, their kids, and of course the stud, the executive assistant's existance is solely justified by its servitude to the executive. Now, in venture capital, it's all that...times 100. Check out The Capital Call Broken Down (http://smartassery.com/2006/03/22/the-capital-call-broken-down/) for an idea of what this field is all about. Thanks for the support! Ah, yes!

Nice! I really enjoy reading your blog. I've been reading a lot of blogs lately filled with a lot of venom and it turns out that a lot of these people are executive assistants to Venture Capitalists. I'm an admin assistant and I loathe my job but not as much as y'all hate yours. Now I have to do some research and find out what Venture Capitalists do because I have no idea what tha career is...(you're right..I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed...In fact, I might not even be one of the sharp ones).... Anyway love tha blog..keep it up!... Wow! Nice! I really enjoy reading your blog.
