Oh ironies of irony

Yesterday my boss gave me a single red rose at 8 a.m. to celebrate the start of Administrate Professionals Week. I was asked numerous times if I had won this season of the Bachelor.

Today I was sent to single handedly hand out flyers to every professional in the building. Me, the administrative assistant, was sent to give flyers to my professionals that basically instructed said professionals to say thank you to admins aka me. Needless to say I got more than one slightly sarcastic thank you very much.

If the object of Administrative Professional Week is to humiliate and patronize your admins then BMO by all means succeeds. Here’s another shout out to Corporate Canada!

Side note: Floor 9 makes me understand why people drink at work. I’m pretty sure one woman was drunk because she kind of teetered and paused before stepping to the side to make room for me in the labyrinth of 9. Also gay men make 9 more bearable. Thank you gay men for complimenting me on my ability to match my outfit to the flyer I was handing out.
