Secretary. Receptionist. Assistant. Appointment maker. Memo creator. Face of, Voice of, Tone of the business. Email replier. Post It hoarder. Keeper of the Keys. Complaint taker. Complaint handler. Eyes and Ears. Reminder, Calendar, Remember-all. The list goes on (List maker?).
(Ugh, my inbox and outbox just don't seem to diminish.)
These are the anecdotes of my position in two companies that reside in the same office. One, being the secretary for the Leasing Office and owners of a professional building. The other being an assistant for an event decor company. I want to make sure everyone knows now, that I love my job, and I love my bosses. The tenants, the clients, the crazy walk ins? Not so much. The vendors, the dealers, the subcontracted workers? Even less.
These will be my tales day in and day out, on the silliness that ensues in this double business.
"Hey, Secre?" my boss says, right before giving me a stack of calls to make, or emails to respond to. Which I do diligently, and speedily. Sometimes people answer, sometimes they don't. But I do what I have to do to make sure it all gets done.
