A Prayer From the Executive Assistant

[dedlered]

"Dear Lord, help me to do my work well,

 to have the memory of an elephant,

and by some miracle, to be able to do five things at once--

answer four telephones while typing a letter that 'must go out today.'"

When the letter doesn't get signed until tomrrow,

please give me the good sense and

the self-discipline to keep my mouth shut."



"Dear Lord, never let me lose patience

even when the boss has me searching the files for hours

for data that is later discovered on his desk."



"Help me to have the informational background

of a colleger professor although I didn't get quite that far."



"Let me always know exactly where my boss is,

what he is doing and when he will be back,

even though he never tells me these things when he leaves."



"And Lord, when the year ends,

please give me the foresight not to throw out records

that will be asked for in a few days

even though I was told emphatically, "Destroy these,

They are cluttering up the place."



An added note:

And Lord, help me to keep that smile on my face!"





Although I do not know the author, this certainly makes my rough days bearable.
