Administrative Office Professionals Day Poem 2013


You’ve found amazing successes
despite your supervisors’ best efforts and guesses.

You offer our customers consistent smiles
though you’re buried in work measured in miles.

You are the yin of organizational order
to our yang full of disorganizational disorder.

You are constantly, amazingly, expertly juggling multiple hats,
so allow me a moment to recognize you truly as “all that”.

You are composed and compassionate
even in the face of customer frustration or discontent.

You are time management and reality’s anchor
when my feet and mind are wont to wander.

You have a selfless service gift given
when my contribution is generally but to enliven.

You’ll, at the counter, save the day
while I’m in meetings wasting away.

You’re the front-line Lieutenant
while I’m stuck debating “ands” in the Senate.

You’re the information and knowledge keeper,
but your work sits there while all glean as hungry info reapers.

Your customer help leaves folks better and different.
The reach of your impact is literally infinite.

Despite dealing with poop that lands down on you from uphill rolled,
it’s unfortunate we allow all our appreciation to sit so vastly untold.

In expertly handing all things most vital, left undone and tough,
we can never say thank you enough.

Your professionalism is truly inspirational.
Without you this place would scarcely be operational.

Daniel Segura, 4/24/13
