Happy Administration Professional Day!

 I came into work and saw my desk covered in tulips. 

That's right, today is Administration Professional Day!  Is this the year that my company and boss remember the holiday and actually acknowledge me with all the rest of the admins in the office?? 

Nope.

None of these tulips were for me.  For the 5th year in a row, HR didn't send me flowers.  Fail.

I don't know what worse - them forgetting AGAIN, or that I know every year I will never receive flowers on a day that was originated to celebrate receptionist.  

After complaning to my sister, a HUGE bouquet came into the office.  As I was about to stab a fork in my eye at how annoyed I was that  every admin except me was getting flowers, the florist said the msot wonderful words.  "These are for Ruby"

Now check out THAT bouquet, look how it towers over all those other lame-o tulips.  My sister is awesome and I immediately thanked her.  NG was jealous, and that even made it a little sweeter ;)

Today was also the day that BossBoss had asked me to schedule a meeting with all the other admins for our quarterly "get together to talk about whatever" meeting.  Knowing that BossBoss had no idea what today was, I went ahead and ordered a fancy smancy lunch for us.  We're talking sandwiches, fruit salad, cole slaw, chips and cookies. The downside was that it did create more work for me but as I was setting everything up, I noticed a box at the bottom the bag.

They added a free lunch for me because today is Admin Professional Day.  That's right, my caterer remembered and cared when my own boss didn't!!  Check out the goodies below - chicken salad sandwich, trail mix, a red velvet cupcake and an apple. 

The best part of the free lunch - this little note they left for me.  (And check out my nails! gotta love pinterest for the idea!!)

It's silly how a simple thing like a coaster saying "We appreciate you!" can mean so much, but it's nice that people actually remembered.  To my sister and now favorite catering company, THANK YOU.  You made me feel special on "my" day.

And a special shout out to Joseph - an avid reader, a Happy Administrative Professional Day to you as well.  I was going to write back to your comment, but I thought a shout out would be better.m Thank you for reading my silly little blog, and I'm glad I can bring you some sunshine.  :)
