The invisible labor of people admin, being an asst, & caretaking, is like being Penny + Brain the Dog in Inspector Gadget. The inspector never has a clue 80% of the time his ass is managed - and saved - by Penny and Brain.

He's allowed to do his job without ever needing to thinking of the details

But they way he crosses it: Brain the Dog has two footplates on posts that he balances Gadget on as Gadget takes each step, while Brain is doing the actual highwire balancing and crossing act.
