Let's deconstruct this e-mail.
Date: Wed, 23 Apr 2008 09:31:25For starters, I never thought I'd be an administrative assistant (read: secretary) for more than a few months. Here I am, a whole year and a few days later, still doing it. Thank G-d I'm going back to school. Secondly, the nut roll and cake? Happy Pesach! Not to mention the lunch meal that I won't be able to eat. Awesome! It's convenient, as well, that this whole shebang was planned for when the other Jew in the department is out for Pesach with her kids. Coincidence? I think not (you see, she keeps fully kosher, and I think some might find that irritating when it comes to ordering food for staff lunches).
Subject: Happy Administrative Assistants Day
Please enjoy some pecan nut roll and cake in the Workroom. Don’t forget lunch will be held in Walker 302 at noon.
Luckily my dinner last night was SO AWESOME I can't wait to eat it again today.

...isn't it always the Wednesday of the last full week of April, or something like that? I think Pesach varies more than Secretaries^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H Administrative Professionals' Day.
anyways, here's to next year, when you'll be a student instead...
peace, kiddo,

who thinks the practice of "make up a holiday for every group" is kind of silly anyways
Yah, that's the rule on the day. I was more laughing at the entire thing than being upset about it :)
That at least seems like an easy rule, compared to Pesach or Pascha... the latter of which I (mostly) figured out after quite some number of years; the former of which I still can't calculate!
Haven't heard from you much lately--chained to your desk again, Malcolm? Working too hard? (;
Drop me a line sometime, kiddo! You still know how to find me!
