I am busy, but really quite a bit of my time is spent doing admin stuff. Which is dumb – it is time I could be spending doing other stuff, like earning money or finishing my book on Extra-Contractual Recoveries. I need a personal assistant.

So if you know anyone who might be prepared to spend a day or two a week at Myponga Beach, where I live and work, please let me know.

Things I need help with include (in no particular order):

• Booking flights and hotels for business trips
• Proof reading opinions (typically dictated, at least in part, into Dragon)
• When briefs come in by email, printing and sorting the documents into manageable order
• Paying bills
• Sending out fee notes
• Checking from time to time to see if my fee notes have been paid
• Organising my filing
• Buying stationery etc when needed
• Liaising with my clerks in London as to when fee notes are send out and when they are paid
• Liaising with the geeks when the computers etc need fixing
• Liaising with my accountants re BAS returns etc
• Entering my expenses into my accounting system, and checking this against bank statements (bank reconciliation)
• Paying herself and sorting out PAYG things (I assume a she. Could be a he. But women are generally rather better at multi-tasking stuff like this).

There could be worse jobs. There are good views of the hills and the sea. I am no trouble really.
