hmmm…..
It used to be called Secretary’s Day. Toward the end of the month of April, a day would be designated to recognize the contributions of the secretaries in companies. Bosses (usually male) would take their secretary to lunch, or maybe buy them a flower arrangement or plant. At the very least, a card was in order.
All that’s changed now -- first of all, since secretaries are almost a thing of the past, the name of the day has been changed to “Administrative Professionals Day”. If you ask me, it just doesn’t have the same ring to it. Now, I admit that with computers, most of us do our own secretarial work – typing letters as we compose them, communicating by email and answering our own cell phone. So, former secretaries, now administrative assistants do a lot of, well… administrative work.
I am not sure what we would do without the secretaries and the office manager we have in our church. They know everything. Things like: where the key to the storage building is kept, the name and phone number of our electrical guy, how many bulletins to make for the Easter Sunday service, and the name and phone number of that couple who used to be a member of the church 10 years ago, but moved to a ranch in Montana .
So hats off to all of the secretaries, administrative assistants, office managers, and other administrative support persons. Today is their day! Say thanks to them and let them know their work is valuable and needed!
