Happy Administrative Professionals Day!!

Today is Administrative Professionals Day! Normally, I don't like Hallmark holidays, unless I somehow end up on the receiving end of them. And, let me tell you - I am administrative and I am professional!!

Sidenote: Is administrative professional, or administrative assistant, really a more prestigious title than secretary? I'm assuming the answer must be yes. I feel the title has somehow evolved to this, so there must have either been some reason to move away from secretary or toward 'administrative professionals'. To me, I associate secretary with 'Secretary of State' or, back in elementary school, the top student council office after Pres and VP. Anyone else have thoughts on this 'title'?
