Other duties as assigned ...

I work as an Executive Assistant and there is always a catch all at the end of my job description that says something like "... and any other duties as assigned". Basically this means anything your boss asks you to do (within reason of course). As part of my job I have had to do some odd tasks. For example I once had to arrange a babysitter for a colleagues children or recently I had to google "how many people does a gluten free bagel feed when using it for communion". I don't mind doing the extra things, but sometimes I have to shake my head at some of the things I find myself doing.

I think the same can be said as my role as Domme. I have been with Jaro for 8.5 years now, and during that time, there have been some things that I have done that I never thought would be involved.

For example, during covid, Jaro was living alone. I had to make a rule for him that he would have to have an hour of social time a day. This could be playing an online game with a friend, speaking on the phone with family or spending time in the chat room. I have also had to order him to go to the doctor to deal with different ailments.

I like using my Domme powers for good, even if it is in way that was unexpected to me. For example, we had rules to help with weight loss and reading goals or finding a new hobby.

One thing that we spend a lot of time working on together, is Jaro's social life. Even outside of Covid lockdown, Jaro is very much a social introvert. He happily spends time at home alone and if he has more than one social commitment in a week, he feels overburdened. However, today Jaro expressed to me that he was feeling lonely and he wanted to try dating again, or at least making friends.

Handling a worms social and dating life was never something I expected to be in my "job description" but here I am helping him write his dating profile and finding opportunities to meet people. Just like in my career, I don't mind taking on these additional tasks. Sometimes those side quests can actually be super rewarding and fun. BUT it still just blows my mind the reach of my Domme powers.
 
Its really awesome how much of a difference you have made in my life through all those years. I never could have expected that when we decided to try some kinky things way back when. ♥️

I also love how you used the term "side quest". 😉
 
In a relationship, fair. But in a legal contract it really ought to be illegal to use language like "any other duties assigned". That is absolutely vague and primed for abuse if your boss is not a nice person. Furthermore, I feel the duties of the job should be as rigid as the salary. If a boss can hand you a load of extra work, you should be able to ask for a load of extra pay to compensate for that extra work.
 
I think side quests are the most fun, it always makes my day when someone approaches me with a problem that I can solve with a little finesse and creative thinking, some tasks that have not been planned for. This is not "extra" work either - I work a set amount of hours per week and that's it, nothing more, nothing less. I sometimes get frustrated when the content of my work ends up draining me more than usual but I can easily compensate with other activities.
As for relationships, I think it is beautiful to help your partner grow!
 
Agree that some of the side quests in life can make things very funny and interesting! Although my job description says "Solution Architect" I think I've done many many things outside of this! Quite a few made me laugh a lot, and it's made things interesting.
And also with friends and D/s and kink I've always really enjoyed the personal touch, leading up to a much broader set of conversations and eventually leading to these side quests!

Apparently it includes reminding people to drink sufficiently, pay attention to bedtime and just be supportive. And also at work randomly buy stroopwafels (which are really good), make phonecalls to change appointments on someones behalf, play weird sports!
