I'm a *fake* assistant. At least, that's what my boss says. After noticing a coworker's desk decorated with streamers and a tiara/wand I asked what the occasion was. "It's Administrative Assistants Day". So of course I had to attempt to rub it in that my boss forgot, only to get a 'she does a lot for her boss. Brings her coffee during meetings, buys presents for her and other people on her behalf. She's a real Administrative Assistant." Ouch! I gave my usual sarcastic "oookay" and walked away. But it left me simmering. Since I am not in the mood for a bitch fest today (of all times NOT to be PMSing) I just wanted to list what I do that is as an an asisistand and beyond the call of duty:

What I do as an Assistant:

1. Schedule her appointments
2. Lie for her when she doesn't want to deal with someone
3. Cover for her when she's late
4. Train and re-train everyone on new systems
5. Be the complaint person for every thing
6. Do everyone elses' job duties while maintaining my own
7. Do reports
8. Be the 'second' in command without any official title
9. Listen to her bitch all fucking day
10. Take the blame for whatever goes wrong, regardless of who did it.

What I do beyond my Job Requirements:

1. Call family members
2. Remind her of birthdays
3. Make appointments for her (personal)
4. Work through breaks/lunches/overtime
5. Work from home when sick/on weekends and vacation days
6. Deal with her moods

So basically I need to bring her a fucking cup of coffee and buy something to be an Assistant. Silly me.
