I ran across this article while surfing through the links of a few local blogs.
The author talks about Administrative Assistant's Day (also called Secretary's Day and National Secretaries Day), and the present he got for one of his secretaries a few years ago on that holiday. It's an interesting idea. Here's an excerpt that sums up the article well:
Several years ago, I told my secretary she could fire one client, no questions asked. After she picked herself off the floor, she chose a client that surprised me. Turns out that this client, while perfectly cordial to me, was consistently rude to her on the phone and made inappropriate comments to her when he came into the office. I sent the client a nice letter telling him I would be unable to represent him any longer, and my secretary told me it was one of the best presents she had ever gotten.
I think this is one of the best ideas for a gift I've heard in a long time. What better gift could a boss give to a secretary, than removing a recurring annoyance (not caused by the boss:)). Anyway, it was a good idea, and I thought I'd share it here.

That would be the best secretary's day present, but it would have to be the bosses idea, otherwise it would seem selfish. Good Idea!!!
