THE SECRETARY'S CREED: In honor of “Administrative Professionals Day” ...
• Never give me work in the morning. Always wait until 4 pm. The challenge of a deadline is refreshing.• If it's really a ‘rush job’, run in and interrupt me every 10 minutes to inquire how it's going. That helps.• Always leave without telling anyone where you're going. It gives me a chance to be creative when someone asks where you are.• If you give me more than one job to do, don't tell me which is the priority. Let me guess.• Do your best to keep me late. I like the office and really have nowhere to go or anything to do.• If a job I do pleases you, keep it a secret. Leaks like that could cost me a promotion.• If you don't like my work, tell everyone. I like my name to be popular in conversation.• If you have special instructions for a job, don't write them down. In fact, save them until the job is almost done.• Be nice to me only when the job I'm doing for you could really change your life.
