I once worked as a temp in a sudden death situation. From the next secretary's position, can I just ask that you try not to be too obvious in comparing them? Too bad you're so far away... I'd be glad to help! RG I’m sorry for your loss, Sporer. I once worked as a temp in a sudden death situation. From the next secretary’s position, can I just ask that you try not to be too obvious in comparing them?

Too bad you’re so far away… I’d be glad to help!

Mine of the last 18 years died suddenly of a massive heart attack ten days ago. Aside from losing a good friend, I cannot even clean my desk. I have dozens of business corps for whom I do only annual meetings and reports. Hell, I haven't even met some of those people for the last five years or so. Great secretaries are hard to find.

If the executive is working 24/7, then, yeah, it make sense to send an underling out to buy his kid's birthday present. Of course, this sort of thing can be abused. And the secretary deserves full appreciation - which means invitations to celebratory lunches, or even outright money. BTW, I worked as a temp secretary for a couple of months back in the eighties. Yes, everyone assumed I was gay. I think I won my evangelical boss some brownie points for his "tolerance".

Probably a better idea than forcing personal chores on professional office support staff.
