Administrative Professionals Day: Our Top 5 Gift Ideas
Answering calls, making copies, filing papers, scheduling meetings, arranging schedules….the list could really go on. Administrative assistants are one of the hardest working and busiest employees within an office – they hold great responsibility in ensuring that relations between clients and the company operate smoothly and that everything runs on schedule.

To start, St. Patrick himself wasn’t even Irish – he was British. That’s a shocker! Legend also says that wearing green stemmed from 18th century Irish people wearing shamrocks on March 17th because St. Patrick, who worked as a Catholic missionary, used a shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity between the Father, Spirit, and Son.
