Communications Secretaries 07/28/23
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Suppose you had enough money to be ridiculous. Here's something great
you could do:
Hire a few full-time Communications Secretaries, to live and travel
with you. They could work in shifts, so you'd have 24/hr coverage, and
they wouldn't get worn out. Build quarters for them, so they could be
comfortable and have privacy yet be close at hand; and, so their
families could be near them, if they have families and want them
nearby during work shifts. And pay them fantastically well, more than
they could make at any sensical job.
These secretaries would handle the conversion of your communications,
so that you could only operate with your favorite mode(s). For
example, if you absolutely love written letters, these secretaries
would convert every email, phone call, SMS, Facebook post, tweet,
etc., into a handwritten letter for you. They'd handle screening out
junk of course. Each morning, you'd get a stack of letters, to read
through at your leisure through the course of the morning.
If you were in the mood to write back, you could--or, you could have
your secretaries do the writing while you dictate. Perhaps you'd hand
write some of the important responses, and others you'd pass along to
your secretaries to hand write for you.
If ever you got tired of your favorite mode of communication, you
could change it. Maybe handwritten letters weren't doing it for
you this week, and you wanted to get technical with email. Your
secretaries would still convert and filter for you, turning every form
into your preferred form. Perhaps you really want emails read through
a terminal connected to an old mainframe system in your computer
collection; not a problem, they'll convert it all, both directions, so
you can still connect with the world.
So take hope, gopher dwellers--if ever you find yourself ridiculously
rich, there will always be fun, creative ways to spend your money.
Just make sure you write about them on gopher (or have your
secretaries do that part).
