Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

Behind every overpaid CEO, underfed fashion editor, and out-of-it movie producer stands a besieged assistant. Or two or three. And more often than not, those "coffee-fetchers, copy-makers, and general office slaves" are fraying at the edges. But indentured assistants, do not despair! With this "blog for the beleaguered," two survivors of assistanthood offer advice and commiseration. They comb the Web for survival tricks and office insight. They pool horror tales. They compile a stellar "bossary" of such nightmare employers as "the frenemy," the "functional illiterate," and the "overstresser." And as often as they should, which is just about constantly, they track the latest on the knockdown dirty way that so many celebrities treat their assistants. Lindsay, you bitch! So if you're tired, you're poor, and you're a huddled mass of an assistant yearning to breathe free, look no further than Save the Assistants.
