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).
