Today is Secretary's Administrative Assistant's Underpaid Lackey's Administrative Professional's Day. I know this because the people I work with seem to think I am one and therefore gave me not just 1 bouquet of flowers, but 2...because I am twice as wonderful, or have 2 bosses, or have 2 personalities (although they've only met 1), or am doubly-pathetic...I don't know/care. I like flowers. Flowers are pretty. They smell nice and I like getting them from boys. I hate this day, though, and the way it reminds me how my job is so nice but so wrong for me, how I'm both underpaid and a lackey, how I hate being lumped in with this group, as full of fine people as it is, and how a bunch of flowers doesn't make me feel any better about any of this.

On the other hand, I got flowers today, and you (probably) didn't.
