The Secretary is going on a six month sabbatical. So I learn today (while The Secretary is on her week-long holiday) through the HR department.
Apparently the word is that The Secretary is 'very stressed' from leaving at 6pm everyday, from never having to eat in during lunchtime, never having to type in amendments in Word, Excel or otherwise, and from her sole daily duties of printing, filing and doing up draft bills that sometimes never get paid. So my HR person tells me the last thing they want is for her to 'collapse in the office'. Has it ever occurred to said person that when The Secretary is printing emails, docs and what have you for (say) fifty files, yours truly is doing the work in respect thereof?
They say you shall respect your elders (The Secretary is perhaps a good ten years older). So I will in all my lovely silent self permit The Dear Secretary to leave for her mighty sabbatical, never to return - the HR Person says The Poor Dear shall not return to her 'very stressed' life which will not be any different six months later. Therefore, they will assign her a wonderfully relaxing job somewhere else in The Firm. What ever happened to the recession. Now if you do find one, would you be so kind as to notify me?
Forgive me while I go repent of Secretary Abuse.
