The Job Nobody Talks About Accurately

Coming on twelve years as an Executive Assistant, and I still get "oh, so you schedule meetings?" at dinner parties.

Sure. Among other things.

I've managed the schedules of people whose names you'd recognize, coordinated travel that required the kind of logistics planning most people associate with military operations, and sat in rooms where genuinely consequential decisions were made. Not because I was invited as a peer, but because I was trusted completely.

That's a different thing, and it takes years to understand why it matters.
