I used to feel a little ashamed of being a proofreader at a magazine (catching the writer’s and editor’s mistakes wasn’t all fun and games, believe me) but proofreaders do morph like butterflies and turn into editors and writers. It’s nice to be the one in the office with your name on the door and proofreaders coming to you looking for work.

I assume secretaries can also rise to become the boss. Look at that dumb Melanie Griffith movie Working Girl for example. If she can rise anyone can!:lol:

I spent 2.8 years as a PA for a workplace bully. The scary kind. I still can’t believe I stayed that long but was more committed to the company than him so am still there.

Actually I work in the IT department now and am much happier than when I was dropping off dry cleaning, babysitting, cleaning house oh yes, and doing the odd bit of typing and travel arrangement…

As a fellow secretary, I salute you. Only, they’ve appended some hideous title to we flunkies here. And since it’s an international aid office, our title’s been made into an acronym of sorts. Administrative Coordinator = AdCo. Horrible. Welcome to the club. No spankings in my office either. Just some fit throwing and the occasional ballooning ego to contend with.

oh my god…James Spader…why is that guy so creepy…why is that guy so sexy? how does he do it? If I ever walked in and saw him as my boss I’d have to run away at top speed before my clothes spontaneously combusted in shame and confusion.

and yes, looks like we were/are all secretaries. Except I ditched my job to be a ….TEACHER! Gah…Something tells me you’re getting better perks than I am.

Being a secretary or a PA is really brilliant if your boss is a descent human being. I once worked for someone who looked like Harry Hill, behaved like Rick Mayall, dreamed of being a rock star, taught me how to play darts and bougt me a big bonsai for my desk.

Vit

1) My boss is sadly not James Spader. No way.
2) Our offices are open plan with glass walled exec offices so it would be something of a spectator sport

I fear I’m going to spend the rest of the morning making a list of people who would be permitted to spank me…

Then I shall imagine you being spanked this morning.

It can be a tad intimidating when you find out the unit secretary is much better educated than yourself. In my younger days I’d intentionally give her a hard time because of my own insecurities(I guess). Now after 35 years of slave labor, I’m elated to have the assistance of one. Too bad some of us take so long to learn to appreciate a god send. Although I don’t work with you, Thank You for your wonderful help, dedication, and fine services.

gosh darnit, the secretary is an ok film, except for the end, which is just plain dumb. but it made me long to move to LA, where I can only dream of driving to work to a 70s luxury car, and working in a nice bungalow that looks like church, plastered through and through with the best japanese prints. hmmm…the decor was the real sex in that movie.
