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.
Ooh! That's me! I manage 90 or so scientists and help them understand arcane funding rules. And make the photocopier work. Nice to know I get an official day.
I have two Divisions to look after. And I now have someone managing the finances for both of them, which helps a lot - I was single-parenting my lot for four years before that, and they are a lovely group, but it was a bit much!
