14 Things All Admin Assistants Know To Be True

11. Your Colleagues Think That You're A Jack Of All Trades

Apparently your job description covers everything from overflowing toilets to healing bad boo boos (you're also designated first aider as no one else wanted to do the course). But surely, simple things such as recycling newspapers to keeping the stationary cupboard neat and tidy are just things that you assumed adults would do automatically? Apparently, the older you get, the less likely you are to actually adult. People develop the whole 'it's not my job' attitude and put more work on others instead of just being a team player. The up side of this is that you now know how to kick a printer or a vending machine correctly for them to start working again. You are a technical, kicky genius.
