I own the company and sometimes I feel like the janitorial crew or the mom.
Be zennish about it. All jobs have something that is not fun.
Beats waiting tables and being poor! That is always my check mark.

Subject: Are we just secretaries?
| Geez. I feel like a secretary. I am not writing - I am
| making it pretty - formatting it - and also
| re-writing his writing. But executive secretaries -
| don't they do that too?
|
| It dawned on me today that some of w3hat I do is -
| well - not that different from secretarial work?
|
| The user guides and specs are a different story. There
| I truly create - write - devise - use discretion and
| judgement. But this kind of stuff - I feel like a
| secretary.
