Greetings and salubriosities,

Now then, it's time for me to explain a bit of one of my plans: I need a secretary.

See, I only have email access three times a day, 15 minutes per session, sessions need to be at least 30 minutes apart, and it takes a while for emails sent to and from JPay (the email service) to be approved and sent. Useful, but very limited. As such, letters will still play a big role in my communications with you all. Phone calls are expensive and difficult to set up, but not impossible (discussion about that will come later).

Thus, I need help on the outside, as I can't handle everything I want to do from in here. It's like I'm a digital quadraplegic... and I need a person to help out. * grins *

My plan is to write things as I can, and have my secretary receive them, edit them, post and distribute them, monitor replies, and ferry responses back to me that I need to see. My secretary would also help get people connected with me, look stuff up I need to find, coordinate my money on the outside, and all in all help keep things running. It will take time, but not all of the person's time. But when something needs doing, the secretary will need to be reliably and consistently on top of it. I'll also need to be able to trust whoever it is, of course, not only to have integrity, but to be able to handle things as I would (and not to edit my stuff to the point of non-recognizability, hehe). Most of the details would have to be worked out between me and the secretary, but that's the gist of it.

A HWer would be optimum, I don't necessarily require someone I knew back before the arrest and whatnot, and I don't particularly care what time zone he or she is in.

The secretary will have to be over 18, of course, since I can't communicate with minors. Familiarity with social networking is also important, since you'll be running my streams. With that, a bit of web design and development savvy would be nice, but definitely not needed. :) I'll want to be able to maintain phone contact with my secretary, so we'll have to work that out too - willingness and ability to set up and pay for a forwarding number to save on long-distance calls is a plus.

If you are interested, or if you know of someone I might be able to coerce (heehee) into it, drop an email to my brother Patrick ([email protected]) to let him know - I'll be in touch with him. Or drop me a line personally via JPay as well - either are great.

I know that most people who have the maturity and the energy to do this kind of thing are already up to their ears in time-consuming projects (* chuckles * a lot of which are of my own initiation I'm sure), and people with time on their hands are a rarity among those able to do this. Know this: being my secretary can be exhausting. * grins * It's generally more of a handful than expected. But if you believe you have the time, and the commitment to try, go for it, and we'll see how it goes. :)

Hope to hear from you soon!

God bless and be with you all in strength and wisdom,
In the name and love of Christ,
Jaymes aka Sir Emeth Mimetes

'Tis good to hear from him, though I wish I could help. :)

Oh goodness, I just realized how very long it's been since I heard from Jay. Wish I wasn't a minor...wish I had time. :P

*Is in the same boat* :P

Also, I'm out of the country... I'm guessing someone within the USA might work better.

I wish I had the time to do it, and I think I agree with BushMaid that he may need more than one secretary. :roll:

It makes my day to get something here from him, even if I can do absolutely nothing to help. Good to see that he seems to be doing well (well enough to need a secretary). :D

Azlyn, I know you're a minor, so you wouldn't qualify, but Jay mentioned to me that he was looking for a secretary, and he said that time zone didn't matter. I don't know if that means country, too, but there it is. :)
