Today's the day Administrative Professionals get formal recognition for their hard work keeping offices running smoothly.  While I hope your boss and coworkers treat you well EVERY day, I hope that today they treat you EXTRA special.  From my various stints as a receptionist, I learned it's a job that requires a lot of juggling.  And one must keep calm in the face of a busy switchboard and requests from multiple people; colleagues as well as guests in the lobby.   It's not as easy as it looks!  I thought it would be fun to use this space to list some of the ways Administrative Professionals can save the day in the workplace.

  1. Fix the jam in the copy machine because nobody else knows how
  2. Restock the paper supply before the office runs out
  3. Provide scissors and staplers when people can't find their own
  4. Knew where the boss is when an urgent matter comes up
  5. Make copies of important documents and then retrieve them on request

What are some things you do at work that make you a bit of an "unsung hero?"  Please comment below.
