When I was an administrative assistant (very long ago) a coworker told me to get him some coffee. I told him to screw himself. He said "What, you are my secretary." I said "No, I am an Administrative Assistant." So then he said since I wasn't a secretary and wouldn't fetch his morning cup of joe that he wouldn't buy me flowers for Secretaries Day. He didn't either but his wife did. She took the money out of his wallet when she heard what a flippin' tard he was and pitched it into the office pool which provided me with a bouquet of assorted rainbow colored flowers and a very nice lunch out. Ahhhh, those were the days....
Here is how I would celebrate each day of Administrative Professionals Week if I was employed. I would show up to work everyday and do my job. I would also thank my employer on a daily basis for hiring me so that I would have a job and not have to live in my car (I don't really live in my car now but I used to have the greatest boss in the history of mankind and when we would bitch about how someone did us wrong or how work sucked she would remind us that we should be thankful that we had jobs and didn't have to live in our cars--and how right she was too). I would then make coffee and offer to refill everyone's mugs when they were getting low and maybe even wear one of those server's aprons with the front pockets so I could carry around little packets of sugar, sugar in the raw, splenda, truvia, nutra-sweet (so many kinds because everyone has a differing favorite) and a cornucopia of flavored non-dairy creamers to make everyone that much more happy with their choice in hiring me. And that is what I would do to celebrate Administrative Professionals Week. Hire me please.....
My job search continues but it is filled with really simplistic jobs that even my 14 year old is over-qualified to do and would probably quit because it makes more money to be on unemployment. I saw an advertisement for a retail greeter. I don't think I am old enough to do that and plus I might not be very good at that. I don't like to meet new people.
I also saw a very interesting prospect on Craigslist this weekend and I may look into but I have some reservations. You see, I prefer quiet. I don't really like loud that much and you know that I don't like stupid typos and noob users of computers and the like. Anyway, this job could be promising because it is for a Fortune 500 company (or so says the ad). The problem with the ad is that it is in ALL CAPS AND THAT MAKES ME AFRAID THAT THEY WILL SCREAM EVERYTHING AND I WON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE THERE and they said it was an Echo-friendly company which worries me because then all that yelling they do will just echo back and forth and what if it is in a very solid building where those sounds just reverb all day long from the yelling. My tummy is starting to hurt thinking about it and I am now getting anxiety from it.....I really hope that they meant it was an Eco-friendly company because I like recycling and earth-friendly alternatives. I also think it might be a good fit for me because much like myself, this company obviously enjoys using run-on sentences. Here is that posting:
Happy Administrative Professionals Week to you and your friends who are lucky enough to have jobs and not sleep in your car.....
