Aah yes, the face of the office. (...or Practice, or business, or company.)
The wind beneath any company's wings.
It's Administrative Professionals Day. (formerly known as Secretaries Day, if you were born before they had color TV.)
Whether or not you see this as a holiday created by Hallmark, the admin team are the unsung heroes of the office world. They get-er-done fifty two weeks a year, usually without the pomp and circumstance and high fives that coworkers higher on the food chain typically get, and for that reason alone, I think it's important to take one day and let them know how much we value them.
I know.
(I started out in the working world as a receptionist.)
I made some spice cupcakes with maple buttercream frosting for the four admin in our company, and together with my team, we all chipped in to get them each a gift card.
If you work in an office, or know someone who is an admin, take five minutes today to make sure you let them know how truly appreciated they are.
