How to receive acknowledgment

Yesterday morning I sent my boss an email, the sole content of which was a link to the Wikipedia entry for Administrative Professionals Day.

Results?

A card, some cash, and a beautiful blue iris to plant in my garden.

Hell, whatever works.

Subtle, hell. That's what good administrative assistants do -- keep their bosses from looking like clueless jackasses.

Good work.

Hey, you do what works. I got daisies, a card, and free lunch. Oh, and a Dunkins gift card. ::Love my job::

With my boss, as with most engineers, "subtle" gets you jack sh*t. If I have to hit him upside the head with a baseball bat, I'll do so.
