Miss Moneypenny would make an excellent administrative assistant to any of our department chairs. "My name is Bond,James Bond." or "My name is Esterson,Allen Esterson."
And while on this subject,there seems to be the feeling that it is the administrative assistant who runs the department.I have seen some who can virtually run the department while the department chair is away. How is it in your department? What are some of the positives as well as rhe negative experiences you have had with administrative assistants(not necessary in your department)? I have known of some who have called faculty at 4AM to remind them to turn in grades by 6 AM. Btw,why are most department admin assistants women?( for example, John B.Watson) And as the cross-cultural dude on Tips,how is it in Europe with admin assistants?
