I came into work today with flowers, chocolate, and cards on my desk!
It was a welcome surprise! I already was having a rushed morning, and my head hurt and ears hurt. I think I may be coming down with the cold my kids have been having for the last two weeks... Anyways, it's nice to be appreciated at work now and then. It's only one day a year, so I might as well enjoy it. Don't get me wrong, my co-workers treat me well here all year long, and I really enjoy working here, despite the ghetto building, the lousy plumbing, and the smelly clients. They are for the most part genuinely nice people, and I do enjoy working with them.
My rushed day, is getting better.. We even got traffic to stop as I and two other clerical co-workers were waiting to jay walk. Hey, the sheriff deputies around here, the attorneys, and the other county staff jay walk all the time, and usually the people in cars try to speed up when they see us...but not today... Nope, today we clerical women had the "Administrative Professionals" radar on us--we had that certain aura that told the passing cars, "Hey, stop, and let these poor, lowly, underpaid, county clerical women, holding their paper cups of hot steaming coffee, cross the street. Let's not try and run them over this morning..."
Do I feel like an "Administrative Professional"? Um...not really, although I did send an official letter to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger this morning... HA HA.. I'm not wearing jeans today either. With a title like that, "Administrative Professional", you would think I'd be paid more. It's just a fancy word for what I do.
They are taking us out to lunch today. We are having Asian food. Lovely..not my favorite, but I will be "professional" about it, and "administer" as much salad as I can fit on my plate, so I don't look like I'm not enjoying the cuisine. Hey, it's free, and I can waste a whole entire lunch hour..I won't complain!
Happy Day to all the Administrative Professionals out there! I hope you are getting spoiled silly!

I was admenstruating last week but not professionally, as I don't get paid for it.
