I'm looking at my calendar, and next Wednesday is labeled as "Administrative Professionals Day." You mean Secretary's Day? Do we need to re-label everything in this country? And for what reason? Where exactly was the shame in using the word "secretary"? How does the shame, if it ever existed, go away by re-naming it? We do this with everything. And yeah, I know, this is not an original thought pretty much like the rest of this goddamn website. We do it with job functions. We do it with physical ailments. We're so fucking stupid in this country that we can actually convince ourselves that simple re-labeling somehow causes a re-birth. The thing is, we STILL don't believe that, but we somehow live with the disconnect. Oh, wait, I know how we deal with it. The way we deal with everything else in this country - denial. Jesus Christ, grow up.
