 I miss secretaries! - zippy
Today has been one of those admin days.

I needed to send out some formal facility letters. Took me most of the day to do 5. They need to be spot on. Colleagues have similar output rates.

We used to have a team secretary who would do these for us. Just dictate "send a facility letter to XYZ, please, change these details, add these details etc" and it would be done. I used to get 15 done in a day like that and felt better for it.

It's the same with booking appointments. Takes anything from 10 minutes to an hour to book an appointment now.

Previously I would give the secretary my diary and she would book the appointments for me. She knew not to schedule me in London on a Friday afternoon etc.

I miss those days.
