If you are going for PC I would start with "administrative assistants day".

"I think I've cracked the code. double letters are cheaters except for perfect squares (a, d, i, p and y). So Leddy isn't a cheater... "

Flowers? That's pretty presumptive and sexist. Gift card? Better not be to Bed, Bath and Beyond or something like that.

The PC way to go about it is to entirely ignore the day because you presumably pay your assistant what they're worth, just like any other employee at the office. No preferential treatment should be allowed, really, because everyone is basically the same regardless of race/gender/sexual preference/height/weight.

(I think I did that right, if not I'm a straight white man so just blame me for whatever, that always works)

Smack him/ her on the ass and say, "That's for you, Toots," with a wink and a smile. Secretaries dig that kind of interaction, which has been mostly absent in the workplace for far too long.

Take a short break from ST and read my blog:

Thats why I loved watching Mad Men.

Wear a wife beater that doesn't cover your navel that says "You are the most beautiful woman in the world" on the front and on the back "Fancy a Fuck?"

Sometimes, on rare occasions, the Lavender Room really does shine brightly. Today is one of those days

I love Notting Hill!!

Pretty much that. We usually did the flowers and twice as much money.

Is the secretary on the Board of Directors?

---

Pink? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

Ha, ha, ha

And I had no idea there were still people needed to answer the phones, greet clients, and print out copies of the boss's emails. What does an Administrative person do these days?

No. That's what makes it special for them!

My wife is an Executive Assistant to the three top Execs at a Fortune 500 Company. I can assure you that she does none of the things you've mentioned other than answering the phone when they are travelling. If I thought you had any actual interest in what she does, I would list some things, but I think you were more interested in a witty one-liner, so carry on.

The entire thread is witty one-liners. So yea, that's what we're all interested in.

I know a lady like you wife. She is invaluable to the company and is actually on the Board of Directors. Cheers!

Point taken.

Those lunch reservations won't make themselves

Well, with Dan itching to ban anyone who doesn't conform....
