A Word of Advice

Sales people, when you call:

1. Do not claim to have called Admin Gal's boss when she is CLEARLY the person who answers the phone.
2. Do not claim to have had a prior conversation.
3. Do not cut Admin Gal off when she is trying to gather information to help you possibly get to the correct person.
4. Do not lie.

Last but not least, when Admin Gal calls you place of business to give pointers to you about how you might be more successful, DO NOT have your receptionist lie about your employment status there.  

If these simple, yet effective, suggestions can be followed you might have success in your business endeavors.

A Challenge

Admin Gal has a challenge for all her readers.

No, she is not asking anything of a felonious nature.

Simply, that over the next seven days you reach out do something to improve someone's day.

Random acts of kindness have been known to increase productivity and moral exponentially.

Added bonus?

It makes your boss and others wonder what you're up to.

Feel free to report on your collective mayhem.

People are Silly

Admin Gal as an observation and pet peeve all rolled into one.

We all know that person.  The one who takes on a project and can't let go of the details.  They do everything, up to and INCLUDING every task that the team members are suppose to do.

Leaving the project member to do what - you may ask?

Why to take the fall for the impending failure on their part - of course.

Look people.  Projects, events, committees are all things that are comprised of multiple tasks, milestones and, often times, deadlines.  Having several people on the team is meant to alleviate the stress of the over all project.

Taking the burden upon yourself is just plain silly.
