Having tried that myself, I discovered your suggestion causes Google Now to go a little cuckoo. It spent a week trying to suggest that I work at our local grocery store because I went there one morning for coffee, milk, and lunch ingredients.

Then when I met up with some associates at a coworking spot, it tried recommending that I drive home to the grocery store. :-?

It does this sort of thing to me all the time. When I'm at home, it thinks I should go "home" to my girlfriend's. When I'm there, it tells me to go to my actual home.

Brilliant.

I recommend a real, living, breathing assistant for you then. You can hire one cheap online from India.

...but then I'd have to send them my phone. ;-)

...and then I'd have to have the person in India with my phone turn on mock locations, and then be constantly borrowing someone else's phone. I'd probably have to get another personal assistant here in the U.S. to follow me around so I can borrow their phone and task them with updating where I am to the resource I hire in India.
