But Receptionist/Admin Assistants/Exec Assistants are among the most important (and unsung - and underpaid!) people in the organization. I'm a Branch Chief and I would rather piss off my boss than piss off our receptionist or admin assistant!

3. Actually, I just call myself a secretary |
|
No disgrace in being a secretary.
And I will not say, "I support the chief of medical legal." He can support his own-damned-self. I have a job to do. :evilgrin:

4. Flushing out cold calling salespeople is my fave thing to do |
|
Fix 'em with the steely stare.
"Do you have an appointment?"?
:evilgrin:
I told one guy I didn't care if he was Jesus of Nazereth, because even He wouldn't get past me without a contact name.

5. Why change the title "secretary" to "administrative assistant?" |
|
It makes no sense...both the same god-damn thing.
They'll always be known as "secretaries" to me. :shrug:
