It's Administrative Professionals Day. Don't forget to give the secretary a firm, but courteous, tap on the bottom and a boisterous "Well done!" Okay, don’t do that. He or she won’t like that. But also maybe don’t do anything? I may be in the minority on this, but any day that singles out a person for gratitude seems to imply that gratitude is not due or given on other days. This is why Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Valentine’s Day, etc. are all unsavory to me. True acknowledgement, true love, comes when randomly and genuinely felt. Not because "we have to”. Giving a hastily-purchased gift for this reason, if anything, could injure your relationship with a person. And you do not want an injured relationship with your office’s administrative professional.
