I decided that I needed to hire an assistant to answer my one phone call I get every few months (it's usually a wrong number). His name is Pete Sockmonkey. He comes to us from Tulsa, Okla., where he worked as a shelf weight at a Barnes and Noble.

So far he's working out well. He's pretty laid back, but he often has ride my back to get me to work, which usually puts me in a cranky mood.
