As a former Administrative Assistant, who never got anything for Admin Day, I think its worth mentioning that Admin's have to share there lousy, one day a year they get some actual recognition for the 363(sometimes 364) days of sucky, sometimes demeaning work, making their bosses lives easier. Like the time I trained my boss's dog because she didn't want to bother meeting with the dog trainer, or the time I had to carry a urine sample in an envelope to the clinic, because my boss was too lazy to go there himself...or the time I had go to small claims court and do all the legal paperwork on behalf of my boss's petty fight...or the time I had to fight RCN for over an hour trying to get HBO on demand to work so my boss could watch the Soprano's finale on demand, and that is saying nothing of the thousands of copies I have had to make. Isn't it odd that Admin's are forced to use a lot of paper keeping their boss's life in order, and now they have to feel guilt for it on their special day, since its also earth day, and suffer through hundreds of the recycle-happy agenda's forwards.
If you are so fortunate to have a Admin or Secretary--give them some extra appreciation today! Celebrate Earth day the rest of the year.

Happy Earth/Secretary/Admin/Chicken Like A Mug Day
Just cop'd two pieces of headie cake for my adman. I wasn't prompted so much by this post but rather by the love of cake, the desire to have a piece of cake, and cause I am very thankful for all their hard work. They better eat said cake. If this was the sixties, and we were mad men, we could just say thanks with a good ole smack on the rump and get back to scotch drinking...neat of course.
The earth is cool.
Who's coffee?
Rump slapping should be brought back...as should scotch drinking at lunch....
Good Girl
