I get a kick out of the fact that next week is now termed Administrative Professionals Week, rather than the now politically insensitive Secretaries Week. According to an e-mail ad:
...we pause to celebrate the work of administrative assistants, secretaries, and other office professionals. In today’s hectic workplace, the moment to say thanks can be quickly lost. But a simple "thank you" can go a long way to motivate employees and build loyalty. Administrative Professional's Week offers an ideal opportunity, and what a better way to do it than with flowers...
