Administrative Assistant Appreciation Day

So I explained in an earlier blog that I started my administrative assistant job at the beginning of March.  So this Thursday, April 21, I was just doing my thing, and my manager stopped by and asked me to schedule a team meeting at 2:30.  He didn't tell me why.  So I did.  Up until 2:30, I was wondering what this meeting was about and I was a little nervous that it was not going be good news.  So I got my pad of paper and a pen to take notes.  Well when I got in there everyone was acting like they didn't know what the meeting was about.  Then Shaun, my manager, came in with these orchids, a cake, a card from everyone, and a gift card to Market Street Grill. He said that today was administrative assistant appreciation day and that they wanted to thank me for all I did.  I thought to myself, "Well all I do is ask questions because I am still learning."  It was such a suprise and everyone laughed that I had brought my pen and pad of paper and I was ready for a hardcore meeting. I was blushing, from the unexpected spotlight, the whole time.  We all enjoyed the cake. I just want to say that I work with awesome people and I'm just loving my new job!  Thanks Team for making me feel special!
Aren't they beautiful!  I love having them bring freshness and color to my office.
