Administrative Professionals' Day

April 24 is Administrative Professionals' Day.

Some years' back, I caught an episode of the Max Ferguson Show and heard the most apropos song to celebrate the amazing feats of brilliance by administrative professionals on behalf of their inept, pointy-haired bosses. The acapella-style lament--sung from the point of view of the pointy-haired boss--had the refrain:
Whatever will we do, however will we fight,
When our secretaries demand their human rights?

I dearly wish I knew the song but haven't had any luck finding it. The piece was sung in the same vein as Stan Rogers' famous Northwest Passage.


Whether one is a pointy-haired boss or simply someone needing to interact with the same, the administrative professional who keeps everything moving along smoothly is a rarely-sung hero! To all of you out there, a very happy (and thankful) Administrative Professionals' Day!
