Its gonna be one of those days

So the office is getting new floors. Its been a long time coming and now it has somehow been placed in my charge. I am moving boxes and organizing offices. Also, I have to do all my other duties. Plus, we have the other company owner in town, so now I am an assistant to him also. He hasn't asked me to do anything serious, but I am just waiting. That is one of the best traits an assistant can have, that constant anticipation. The need to guess what someone is going to ask and do it before they ask. It makes you look baller to your bosses. So, try to anticipate and deliver it.

It has happened

They took my brand new company laptop away from me and am replacing it with a laptop that is like, 5 years old and I will be its fifth owner. To be honest, I thought they would have figured it out sooner but I wasn't going to be the one to tell them.

So they are taking mine and giving it to someone else. Not that this woman isn't deserving of my fancy laptop, I just don't want my baby taken away from me. Its like my child. I took it out of the box. I plugged it into the wall and gave it its first taste of electricity. I was the who turned it on for the very first time. I don't want to give my baby to some stranger who won't take care of it the way I do.

Sad situation. I am going to go hold my laptop and rock it back and forth, whisper "its not your fault you are wonderful" and cherish these final moments we have together.

Its been too long

Ok, Well, it has been too long since I have last posted. Its not like things aren't happening. They are. I just can't talk about them. And not for any sexy reason other than the majority of the stories involve my boss. And, I certainly don't want to publish anything about my boss. And no, I can not justify it by using code names to protect the innocent. I will not be posting about my trials and tribulations as an executive assistant, until, I move on from here and get a different job. Once that happens, all of the posts I have written up in word will be copy and pasted into the blog. But, until then, those stories will never see the light of day.

But why, you ask?

Two reasons: One, self preservation. I want to keep this job. For the most part I like this job. Answering the phones, making travel arrangements (and then changing or canceling them at the last minute) and other office work. Two, I like my boss. I mostly only write when I am angry at him for having me do something I find stupid, but he sees it as a necessity. I just need to keep remembering, "I am an assistant. I assist. I do what he doesn't want to do. One day, I will have an assistant and I will ask them to do things I don't want to do and they too will write about my "necessities" on their blog."

So, there you have it. I want to keep my job and I like my boss.

Wish I more to tell you. I don't. I got a new company laptop. But any minute it might be taken away and given to someone more deserving. When that happens, it might crush my soul, but don't worry readers, I will be back blogging in no time, even if I have to use a public library computer.
