Patrick is the boss of the moving company Sedaris works for after quitting his job as Valencia’s personal assistant. Although Patrick is in charge, he doesn’t like to be referred to as the boss because he is a communist. A deeply principled man, he drives his movers around in a bread truck and sometimes turns away business if he thinks a person is too rich. Despite this eccentricity, Sedaris enjoys working for Patrick, finding it satisfying to go through the city and help New Yorkers move.
