I work as the PA to a very wealthy man who has three wives. Basically, I run his day-to-day activities and make sure everything in his life doesn’t collapse. So one day, he tells me I am to book a flight ticket for him and one of his wives. He specifically said he wanted her to meet him at the airport on a particular date. Now, not long after that conversation, plus juggling all the other tasks he gave me, I completely forgot which wife he was talking about. Honestly, it got so bad that in my dream that night, he even came to me and said, “Book the ticket for my second wife.” So now my brain is giving me conflicting instructions. My dream says second wife, but what he told me in reality is foggy. I would have asked my Boss again which of his wives he was referring to, but he has warned me never to ask him to repeat instructions. According to him, as a PA, I must “use my intuition.” So I decided to trust my instincts. One thing I was sure of was that, it was definitely not his first wife he told me to book a flight ticket for. That left me with the second and third. I turned on my detective brain and asked myself questions on why it should be the second or third wife. At first, I favoured his third wife because she is the latest one, recently married, so maybe it’s her. But then again, I remembered that his second wife loves travelling, so maybe it’s her too. All of a sudden, my brain alerted me that the second wife just returned from a trip… so he might not necessarily want her to travel again yet. So I said to myself, it should be his third wife he told me to book a flight ticket for. Still not confident with my conclusion, I told myself, why not book tickets for the both of them? What is the worst that could happen? Fast forward to when we got to the airport. I arrived with both wives, expecting a calm reaction. But my boss… his face looked kind of sad. It was in that moment I knew I had messed up, and it was actually his first wife he wanted me to book the ticket for. So my Boss pulls me aside and says, “I told you to book a flight ticket for my side-chick! My side-chick!”. Please who else has ever made a ridiculously hilarious mix-up at work?
