It’s a mad, mad world when you’re the only one on the block without a personal umbrella holder on payroll.

Being a commoner can be rough. Being forced to face the ignominy of standing in line at the post office, schlepping to the dry cleaners, waiting for the ConEd guy to show. Really, it’s amazing you ever find time to work.

How about renting a personal assistant for a few hours? For a not-entirely-insane fee, the helpful folks at Taken to Task will see to it that your time does not go wasted taking you-know-who to the groomer or fetching ice cream from Gristedes. They’ll assess your personal needs and do just about whatever it takes to make your life run that much smoother.

Including — if you ask nicely — some personal umbrella holding.

Just so you can see what it feels like.
