Dealing with Dragons

Dragons . . . really. What was I thinking? Get in, get out, make a little money on the side. How hard could it be? Of course, I didn't know there were going to be dragons when I started out with all this . . . Perhaps I should start at the beginning.
I was perusing the local paper, checking through the classifieds and there it was. "Immediate opening: Assistant, part-time. Must be pleasant, detail-oriented, and organized. Salary negotiable." I needed a little extra cash, so I called. The woman who answered the phone was nice enough. I asked if the position was still open, how many hours per week it might entail, and what some of the duties might be. You know, all those job seeker-type questions. On the surface, the job sounded great. It wasn't a lot of hours. Maybe one or two a week. Part of the job entailed event planning, but nothing more than making a few phone calls or writing a few em-mails to confirm details for events that had already been planned. Occasionally, I may have to come up with ideas for new events, but I thuoght I could handle that. There might even be a bit of light bookkeeping involved. Again, it didn't seem like a difficult position. So, I set up an interview.
Oops, have to run! The boss just called and I need to go take care of something. I'll write more a little later. When I have time.
