BSSI created the following poem for all of the administrative professionals attending the Lancaster Fairfield County Chamber of Commerce luncheon today. It was presented by Deb, our Marketing/Sales Coordinator.

The Woes of an Administrative Professional!

They don’t say good morning, just line up at my desk;
There is absolutely no time to rest!
Would I do this? Have I ordered that?
Oh my goodness …..if I only had a bat!

You needed this yesterday, you forgot to say?
but you want me to take care of this other thing as you need it today?
Get your sh _ _ organized I would like to say…
But I am just going to hold out for a much higher pay.

I email everyone’s memos and make their coffee;
Heck I even provide the office with a jar of candy toffee
I can somehow answer the phones before they ring
This place expects me to be the most amazing thing!

I am the one who tries always to make things right;
Though no one notices as often as they might.
Lord forbid should I ever get sick
Fix that paper jam themselves, wouldn’t that be slick!

If anyone has a problem, they always come around
I am a sounding board so I have found.
I don’t know how to do this; can you help me?
Sure, I can multitask. Now let me see!

I am the one that tries to find their missing files
Of course, I have to walk on eggshells with a smile.
Oh and who took off with my stapler & other stolen goods?
Oh my gosh …I am so misunderstood!

This is a typical day for me … waiting on my people.
But by the end of the day, I head to the church steeple!
I really don’t mind as I love what I do
Even though I would like to tell everyone to get a clue.

No one really listens as to what I have to say.
Lord what I have to put up with for such low pay!

Happy Administrative Professional Day from all of the folks at BSSI!
