I hate to sound so bitter on such a beautiful spring day but I find Admin Professionals day to be rather patronizing.  I'm with the previous poster's comments - I consider myself a professional.  I am part of the group, I play an equal role here and wouldn't not expect nor want anyone to give me an extra pat on the back.  I work hard to be seen as smart, productive, thoughtful, etc. and my job is to help them do theirs more efficiently.  I'm the obstical remover.  If I do a good job, pay me a fairly, show it in a bonus, just as you would any other employee.

Oddly enough, as I was typing this, my manager just handed me a gift certificate to a great restaurant in my town.  Who am I to say no?
