Dear Lord- I am annoyed at work to day by little things a) the previous mentioned Administrative Professionals Day becoming an All Staff Appreciation Day and b) other "administrative professionals" who think I am crazy for having my phone lists/cheat information on the computer instead of printed in a book.
