Today is Administrative Professionals Day, which means today is the day we celebrate all those people without whom the printer would never have any paper, the mailing would never get done, and we would probably never know where our keys were. Truly, they are the unsung heroes of our world.
Well, today, we sing them.
I was a receptionist and a secretary and a clerical assistant when I was getting started in my career, before life led me into customer service, and that shit is harder than people give it credit for being. All my admiration, and all my love, to the administrative professionals in my life.
For a few summers when I was in college/grad school, I spent a few weeks doing administrative work in my father's office. I left there every day feeling completely exhausted. And I only did it for a few weeks at a time. So yeah, much tougher than many people realize.
Now, I'm a teacher, and I am grateful for all of the hard work that the school secretaries do.
