How appropriate that these should arrive on Administrative Professionals Day!

I wonder who Gregg was.  Glad to know he ruled.  RIP, Gregg.

This is just a great way to spend 7.5 minutes

This was an actual thing!  This was a contest and it was broadcast on national television, pre-empting other programming!

What a magical time!

It's Administrative Professionals Day!

Here is a card for all my fellow administrative pros!

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZING! Also here is a conversation I heard a fellow member of the steno pool have with someone earlier:

And here I thought Oprah was off the air!

Turns out - nope, she's apparently still around... and helping people all over to change their lives for the better!

Jose Canseco Is a Genuis

Y'all, if you're not following Jose Canseco on Twitter, you need to get on that right now.  This man alternates between asking deep, probing questions about the meaning of life and dropping planet shattering truth bombs all over the place.  Just recently, in fact, he had some truly thoughtful insights on the fate of that doomed vessel, the Titanic:
