Our boss bought us lunch at Applebees, so I feel completely appreciated.
Happy Administrative Professionals week!

Our firm gave each legal assistant a $100 AmEx gift card. I told my assistant that I make an effort to thank her all the time rather than wait for this one day when someone (likely from Hallmark) tells me that I have to. It's like Valentine's Day. How great are you to give flowers when the whole world is doing it? Now on August 3rd? That's love.
KTB- thanks for adding a blog and moving that picture down a few inches. I have a weak stomach and was...well...avoiding your blog until it was gone. Thank you for the much-needed information on Administrative Professionals week. Is there a ribbon I could wear on my lapel in support of that? Because I am SO for it...
I wish you were my Administrative Professional. You're the poster child for Administrative Professionals.
You are my favorite Administrative Professional. You kick ass.
I wish you were my life-assistant. Oh..wait. I think you are. You are the best at everything.
