Billy from “Battlestar Galactica”, because I identify with someone who gets to see Kara Thrace all the time and make out with Dualla. Does “identify with” mean the same thing as “jealous of”?
I don’t identify with the fact that Billy dies in season two, though, because I think that sucks.
I also identify with Rose Tyler, because she’s hot.
I think it’s a cross between Jenni from Flipping Out and Pam from The Office.
I’ll take the same stance as John. If “identify with” means the same thing as “jealous of”, it’s sassy Joan Holloway from “Mad Men”, my new favorite addiction. But I’m nowhere near as confident and svelte as she is, and I certainly don’t dress as well.
Otherwise I’d say I’d like to be Katherine Reimer on the BBC’s “Jekyll” (if you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0497298/), who’s fearless and can still hide a secret while looking fabulous. Sure, I don’t have to put up with a boss who changes from Jekyll to Hyde each day, but sometimes even real people can be two faced!
Chloe on “24″ isn’t really an assistant, I just thought of her because she’s always stuck behind a desk - until that one episode where she got into a mess of trouble outside of the office and blew away a guy with a pistol. My job is nowhere near as exciting as that! But sometimes it’s as stressful. =)
And if you’ve ever seen Canada’s “Slings and Arrows”, poor Anna is probably the most put-upon assistant I’d ever seen, having to juggle the drama that comes from working at a Shakespearean theater festival! Not to mention Emily, the sweet intern who would burst into tears every time her bosses kindly chastised her for doing something wrong.
It’s a cross between Betty (Ugly Betty) and Pam (The Office)
