Happy Admin Assistant Appreciation Day to all my fellow receptionists, admin assistants, secretaries and intern slaves out there! If everybody in your office forgot, at least you got a blogged pat on the back from Miss Prentice!

I had a %100 increase of people remembering Admin Assistant Day this year! I had one person (the temp) remember. I also wished our poor intern a Happy AAA Day, and we talked about ponies for fifteen minutes.  Some beautiful flowers with a teddy bear were just delivered to the office, and as I was having this reaction to the gift…

I found out these lovely flowers…

Were not for me. Lol.

Many years ago, I received an AAA Day card at AMC, and the mean lady who gave it to me said “We appreciate what you do…when you do your job.” Really? Whatever, Grumpy McGrumperpants. I did plenty of work. Anyways, in celebration of this momentous occasion (It’s actually a week long affair),  I found the fridge poem I wrote at about this time last year. Enjoy.

Nonet: A poem that consists of nine lines. The first line has nine syllables, and each line after that loses a syllable, like a poetic countdown.

Fridge Nonet

When Friday is coming to a close,
The weekend swirls all through your mind,
Like candied, summer breezes.
Amidst your daydream daze,
Reality strikes,
While driving home.
You forgot…
Your lunch.
Ugh…
