I enjoyed reading some of the scenarios you have posted in your blog as well! It never ocurred to me that such a job existed, so you have given me a wonderful insight into a different world.

I mean, as one who has probobly seen your employers (I think the odds are for it by now) I've never seen a job posting, or even thought 'Jee, they seem stressed. Maybe I could help by becoming an ass-istant' Now, how does one GET this job?

This is a very well put together How-To. While I'm not an escort or a personal assistant, I've been in the adult industry for coming up on 5 years now, and have met some of the most brilliant, business minded and truly wonderful people here. Service work is right - great article. Realistically, yes, this can go for any personal assistant job, but it’s particularly important for people in the adult industry.

It's amazing that she had to come up with a set of rules for these dudes. I would hope that some of these clueless guys read her post and her blogs to see how they should arrange one of these appointments. And I hope she let's me break Rule #5 some day. ;) +<|:-) Amber’s job is definitely interesting and unusual, but that doesn’t mean that she isn’t deserving of some simple respect.

It still amazes me how some guys can be so stupid over the phone, and act so retarded sometimes. I wish that I could be one of those lucky guys that gets to talk to you over the phone though. You're right though, the people that you work for are some of the nicest people that a person can ever hope to meet. Amber, those are very eye-opening facts about your unique job.

I've had very little contact with adult industry stuff in my life.. went to a strip club once.. and I have a good friend who writes erotica.. ( and got in some hassle when the pr company he works for found out.. ) And then there's that guy who did the adult industry marketing research I know.. who had nothing positive to say about the people he met.. Oh I guess there was a girl I knew online who did a little porn.. and told me to keep an open mind about the people who work in the industry.. So to me the adult industry is a very mysterious thing.. and you just wonder what life / the world looks like from the other side of the fence. It sound kind of wonderfully.. crazy from your post..

For this I do not envy your job, however I do envy the perks you may get from doing this job. As always amber you are the greatest.

It was thoughtful and funny, and goes a long way to humanizes a portion of our population that is often dehumanized. Now my question...do you think the above comment is referring to escorts, or assistants? Jon Thank you for posting this.

I know it's just for advertising but it makes me think that those words are very important to the sentence. And "service job" in the first sentence under item 2 made me giggle. This job has got to look interesting on a resume. The odd underline thingies that pop up in the article are rather amusing.
