WHEW!!

What a week! What a weekend!
I don’t know where the time went, but boy! did it go fast! I feel like I’ve been away for weeks.
Here’s the recap: I have been looking for a china cabinet to go with my grandparents’ old table and chairs. They’re similar to the Duncan Phyfe look, so in [...]

Happy Secretaries’ Day!!

OK, it’s a day late, but we celebrated it here in our office today, and what an awesome event!
One of the newer attorneys in our office asked our office manager what is done for those members of our support staff (who by the way are THE most awesome people on the planet!) who aren’t “officially” [...]

Happy Administrative Professionals’ Day!!

This is one Hallmark holiday that I do not mind celebrating, especially since one of the world’s best secretaries works with me. I started to say, “I have one of the world’s greatest secretaries….,” but it sounded weird – weird and condescending.

Generation Gap

Monday Moaning

I found this by Anna Pasternak of The Mail in a last-ditch, late-afternoon attempt to assuage my own inner child (who has been decidedly cranky and uncooperative for the last six months, thank you very much). Ms. Pasternak writes:
“I am convinced of one fact: 40 is the new 30, and a second Relationship Window has [...]
