Just a Secretary, a cuppa tea and something peeping around the corner

The 1st of September celebrates both Spring Day and Secretary's Day in South Africa.

Spring is around the corner!

Someone awesome once said "As soon as you sit down to a cup o' tea and a fag, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until your cuppa is cold and you only took one drag of yer fag."   I wonder who that smart-ass was?

Anyhoo, this indeed is the life of Secretary or the Administrative Assistant.  The secretary is responsible for managing the every single thing in the office, running errands for the boss, correspondence, typing, filling forms and fulfilling many other dogs-body duties.  They take care of each and everything so that the office runs smoothly and the every work of their boss will be completed accurately in time. They are the wee hand which has a big role in the success of the company and aren't always appreciated as they should be.  

To all those Office Admin people out there - Happy Secretary's Day!

And finally Spring is on its way to South Africa.  The days are getting warmer and the shorts and t-shirts need to be washed and ironed.  

I've only been bitching about the winter for 5 months...roll on Summer!

Happy Secretaries Day!

Hope all the Secretaries and Assistants of the World have a wonderful day.

You are:
The smiling fact that greets
Whoever comes to call
And your hands type the letters
That go to one and all.

You are:
The one who answers the calls
That come throughout the day
And no matter what the problem
You know just what to say.

You are:
The one who brews the coffee
That makes the day go well
And what your kindness means
Words alone can't tell.

You are:
The one who is always busy
Making things go right
Though it seems we do not notice
As often as we might.

You are:
The spirit of the office
And well the load you carry
You are that extra special person
That we call Secretary!

Happy Secretary's Day

I got spoiled on September 3, which was National Secretary's Day.

I got a lovely bunch of flowers and a

beautiful MasiMela Aloe Ferox products in a gorgeous handmade wire basket from the girls at work. It included a Exfoliating Mud Scrub, Bath and Massage Oil (which I've tested out on Riaan already), Glycerine Soap, Hand Wash, Hand Cream and a Body Butter.

How spoiled am I? Its nice to be appreciated.
