Keeping his paws on the nuts of the world –
Today , April 25th, is a wonderfully special day for not only Bacon’s mom but for all of the Administrative Professionals out there in the world. Whether you call them secretaries, administrative assistants or my personal favorite Octopuses, they do not get enough praise for what they do. They are the office keepers, the schedulers, the reminders, the speed typists – the office jugglers. They not only keep the work load going but they remind their bosses of their personal dates to remember and patch up the boo-boos that happen while at work. They should be praised daily and reminded of their wonders.
So by all means, don’t forget your office Octopus. Show them your gratitude. A small token of a card, a cup of coffee, a gift card, flowers or take them to lunch. Just don’t forget that special worker.
And to mom and everyone else – Happy Secretary/Administrative/Octopus Day. We here at the Hotel Thompson wish you all the best today. You are so worthy – we definitely couldn’t live without you!

Yes we do. At times, I think we need even more arms with the things we juggle. LOL – June

Octopuses-that’s a term I hadn’t heard when referring to professional assistants. When I worked I always thought they were jugglers in a 3-ring circus. At least that was the way it was in our firm. 😊

You know it exactly. There are some days I don’t know if I’m coming or going or when what project will get done because it seems like I’m doing everything at once. But in the end, it always meets deadlines. ❤ June

Assistants always have to be the ‘responsible’ ones. I always thought why should poor planning on a boss’s part constitute an emergency on my part. Never did win that battle. Hope it’s better for you. *sigh*

Oh there are definitely those days for sure. The good thing about my position – I’ve been doing it since Moby Dick was a minnow. I’ve learned a lot of shortcuts to help me throughout the month, quarter and end year. That makes what I do look simple… it’s called organization. Those things you can’t teach. ❤
