I just would like respect every day at work - not one hour of "fame."
I don't need candy, flowers, or even a lunch. Just don't talk down to me like I'm a moron or learning-challenged. I pay rent, bills, drive a car responsibly, pay taxes - just like my bosses.

I whole-heartedly agree.
As for this day being celebrated? Its ok... will I be recognized? I don't think so. Am I ever recognized? Well, if they can come up with something to yell at me about to make them feel superior? Yep, then I am recognized.

I TOTALLY agree. I am currently temping as an administrative assistant. It's not an 'easy' cake job as many would believe. I bust my butt for VERY LITTLE. I've told the girl I am 'temping for' she is should get at least $15.00/hour for this job but I make WAY below that.
I find many people (we serve a large group of people) talk down to me. I have a Masters Degree. It rankles me, seriously.
It means a big free breakfast spread at the office tomorrow morning! We all got a surprise $1,000 bonus a couple of weeks ago. I'm happy! Money and food!!
No Admin should be talked down to. I've done this job for 13 years and only had one A__hole who I had put into place fairly quickly. I left him stranded in San Francisco. He got the message quickly. This is a partnership, speak to me that way you address your boss.
I always favor money, Amex gift card or day of bliss. My job celebrated by giving us breafast, a chair massage and a luncheon. I can't complain because truly they don't have to give me anything, but I'm also blessed to be employed. I do think the day is superficial, but one of those days if you are the boss you will be looked down upon, no matter how lame the day is.
