    The poll...

    Do you like your job? Why or why not. My "day job" nope don't like it and that's why I'm on the fast track to real estate full time.

    What is the best part of your job? The flexibility...they let me go do real estate when ever I want.

    What is the worst part of your job? We take one step forward and three steps back at all times, and its super frustrating.

    Do you like your boss? Depends on the day.

     you going to celebrate Admin Day? Are you kidding nope, everyone only thinks of themselves in this office.

  • I'm just sorta "meh" on my job.  I used to hate it but then I grew to like some aspects

     Best part - my coworkers are for the most part really great

    Worst - two words.  Data.  Entry.

    My boss - yeah.  I like her.  She's pretty hands off which I think is great.

    Admin day?  taking DH out for his birthday.  It is a "holiday" so very not on my radar.

  • Do you like your job? Why or why not. most days, it's pretty okay.

    What is the best part of your job? the people i work with (especially the other admins. they are SO funny!)

    What is the worst part of your job? being asked to do personal things like pick up drycleaning or make dentist appointments.

    Do you like your boss? most days. i'm sure he would say the same about me. : )

    How are you going to celebrate Admin Day? dunno. my boss hasn't even mentioned it so i'm guessing it's going to be an end of the day scramble on his end of things.

    i did get all the admins underneath me all Starbucks gift cards and hand delivered them and told them how i couldn't do my job without them. and i so so mean that. they save my asss on a daily basis. it takes a village around here!

     

    HAPPY ADMIN DAY TO EVERYONE WHO BUSTS THEIR HUMP TO MAKE OTHERS LOOK GOOD DAY IN AND DAY OUT. Because, you know, we RARELY get the credit we deserve.

    Do you like your job? Why or why not. I love my job. I went through a stage where I hated it, but I've grown into it and have grown to love it. I love being that person in the background making the people I work for look good. It really helps that everyone I work with is very appreciative of what I do for them and they know that I make them look good and I make their jobs easier.

    What is the best part of your job? The people I work with are AMAZING. I wouldn't love what I do as much as I do if I wasn't working with the people I work with.  

    What is the worst part of your job? Filing/Scanning.

    Do you like your boss? I support 17 people across the country, but yes, I like most of the them. They just rearranged who I'm supporting so I have a few new people, but so far I haven't had any problems. The person who I report directly to and is my manager is the most amazing person to work for. I would not be where I am without her. She has been a huge influence in helping me change my work life.

    How are you going to celebrate Admin Day? Not actually doing anything, but I came into a card with a Visa gift card and a certificate to the cafeteria in the building. And they brought treats too. Not a bad way to start the day.

  • Both of our building secretaries are out of the building today, so I will have to tell them how awesome they are tomorrow!

    As a former behind-the-scenes gal, I know how hard it is to keep everything together so everyone can do their jobs.  Some days I feel like I need my own admin!  Props to you ladies too... 

  • Do you like your job? Why or why not.  Yes and no.  I hate running a business but I love the work. 

    What is the best part of your job?  Knowing that I'm making a difference in people's lives.  There is nothing like watching a client's face light up when they find out their green card, citizenship, whatever has been approved.

    What is the worst part of your job?  It's a tie between running a business and dealing with governmental bureaucracy.

    Do you like your boss?   I'm the boss so yes.

    How are you going to celebrate Admin Day?  No, I work by myself.
