Now that I've moved jobs, I get to do personal things only rarely and as new boss is approaching retirement age, and without a partner, that's certainly no problem!
My last job, however, was full of personal things. Some I didn't mind, others were a bit beyond ...I worked for two chaps (board/CEO-level) and one a batchelor, one not. The most testing for the married one (and one which I thought wife could've done) was search for a cleaning lady for their home, and also for kennels for their dogs!
Oh, and find a particular brand of rabbit poison :-)
The batchelor one had me taking his clothes to the dry cleaners, waiting at his cottage for the Aga man to call, buying his aftershave in bulk (why he couldn't get it at Duty Free (after I'd booked all his holiday travel!) like normal people was beyond me) and also bulk buying perfume for his mother ... delivering and collecting his photos ... the list is endless.
I am SO glad I don't work for them now!
