Yes Debbie I have done all those tasks too in a previous job, but I never had to follow up and ask someone what time a meeting was at because neither the agenda, meeting request nor room booking calendar matched up.  For me that's common sense, no training required.

You misinterpret my negativity with frustration at individuals who don't even know they have made these mistakes.

Only this afternoon I had a converstion with someone who notices how good a job I do compared to the other PAs who seemingly, have not been in the field as long as I have.  In fact as I have mentioned before, they have fallen into their jobs by default.  It is frustrating to watch it happen.

Some people have had it easy, but I know what it's like to have to be efficient and make a good impression in case something might come along and jeaopardise that.

I don’t under estimate friendliness but the workplace is not a funhouse, we are all there to do a job to the best of our ability.  When I see that ability is not forthcoming it concerns me.....because it may affect how I do my job.
