Taking the boss's dry cleaning out is one thing, and I've come across that before, but sewing buttons??  Cooking the boss's lunch?? (yeah I did meet a secretary once who did that, I thought she was being a doormat.)  Cleaning???  I try to avoid doing my own cleaning if I can, no way I'll do anyone else's!!

Are these bosses wanting a secretary, or a substitute mother??  Boy, have we got a long way to go.  If secretaries agree to do these things, they are simply 'spoiling' the male bosses who will continue to expect all secretaries to do these things.  Big step backwards for those of us who are trying to earn respect and the right to take on responsibility for projects in our support roles.

I'm not going to go on about this anymore.  It's making my blood pressure go way up.
