Rant of the Day
I am a System Administrator. In fact, I am a SAGE Level III SysAdmin. I am not an Administrative Assistant. I will not let you write down my job title as Administrative Assistant on a hospital admission form. And no, I will not take a message for my boss. If you...Happy Exploitation of Native Cultures Day!
