Animated AssistantIt is Administrative Assistants Day as I write this. That made me think of the job descriptions for our administrative assistants, which might go something like this:

As I watch Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Nyquist around the office, I think they are not aware of their job description. Now don’t get me wrong! It’s not that they are NOT doing their job, it is that they do MUCH MORE than the aforementioned job description. To them, the job description might read more like this, because these are the things I see them doing:

It was at an administrators’ conference years ago that our head supervisor reminded all of us who the most important one in the office is, as they are the first link to the outside world. It’s not the administrator, but the administrative assistant! It’s that person that gives those on the other end of the phone that first impression or glimpse into our Lutheran School!

On this, Administrative Assistant Day, we thank God we have competent, well liked, administrative assistants. Jen and Rhonda, we all thank God for you and your many talents. Thank you for all you do for Martin Luther Academy!
