Administrative Professional Humor

Have you thought about what you’re going to get your administrative professional this year?  Administrative Professionals Day is April 23rd, so you don’t have much time left.  In fact, you may want to get your flowers order in soon if you’re sending him or her flowers.  You can also give them a bit of a pay bonus, give them a gift, or take them out to lunch. 

Administrative professionals keep everything running smoothly, make sure you know exactly where you need to be, and more often than not handle any emergencies that come up.  They’re also your gatekeepers, making sure only the people who really need to see you get in to take up your time.  Some also serve as moral officer, making sure hurt feelings get smoothed over and bad days don’t get too bad.

There are some great quotes by administrative assistants and professionals that are perfect for Admin Professionals Day.  They’re touching but also humorous. 

"My Boss frequently gets lost in thought. That's because it's unfamiliar territory." – Unknown

"If you have a good selling idea, your secretary can write your ad for you." - Morris Hite

"Responsibility without power, the fate of the secretary through the ages." - Ariel Dorfman

"And so while the great ones depart to their dinner, the secretary stays, growing thinner and thinner, racking his brain to record and report what he thinks that they think that they ought to have thought." - Arthur Bryant

"Always be nice to secretaries. They are the real gatekeepers in the world." - Anthony J. D'Angelo

Holiday Fun in Springfield

The holiday season is here!  If you and your family are looking for some things to do before Christmas, there are a lot of different activities going on in Springfield.  Here are a few ideas for things you and your family can do this month.

Drive around and look at holiday light displays.  Some of the local parks and other areas have done huge light displays.  Other people have decorated their homes with hundreds, if not thousands, of lights.  Some of these displays are even linked to music.  Be sure to take your camera to take pictures of some of your favorites.

If you have young kids, you know they will want to see Santa!  The jolly guy will be appearing in many different locations around Springfield, including many malls and department stores.  Check local listings to see where he is.

There are a number of different holiday shows going on in the city and surrounding areas, too.  Classics like “The Nutcracker” and “A Christmas Carol” are often performed around this time of year.  There are also a great number of different musical performances around the holidays.

Thanksgiving Traditions to Start

Do you have any great Thanksgiving traditions?  If you don’t, this is the year to start a few!  Even if you do have some, you can always start a new one or two that are uniquely yours.  Here are a few different ideas if you want to add a tradition to your Thanksgiving:

•    Make a traditional meal, dish, or dessert each year.  This can be something your family loves, or it could be an old family recipe that’s been passed down from generation to generation.

•    Buy or create some decorations to use every year.  Some people have antique decorations that have been passed down from year to year. 

•    Use your grandmother’s serving tray, bowl, or other dish that’s been passed down.

•    Start a Thanksgiving Day game tournament that you play each year for bragging rights.

•    Show how thankful you are for each other by naming one thing you’re thankful for at dinner.

Let us help make your Thanksgiving special by providing some beautiful Thanksgiving flowers in Springfield, OH.

Fall Flower Colors Make a Great Decorating Palette

It’s time to add some fall colors and flowers to your décor!  Pull out the heavy quilts, put some new throws on the sofa, and find a nice autumn wreath for the front door.  The colors most people use during the fall match those of the falling leaves and fall flowers.  They include red (mostly dark red), orange, yellow (but not a bright, cheery yellow, more of a gold), and brown.  Since these colors are very bold and strong, it only takes a little bit to make a big statement.  Mix in some brighter shades, too, if your rooms tend to be dark. 

There are a lot of different flowers you can use to decorate during the fall.  Here are a few of the late bloomers that go with the autumn colors:

•    Roses (orange, red, yellow)
•    Daisies
•    Chrysanthemums
•    Marigold
•    Mountain Sage
•    Caryopteris
•    Sunflowers
•    Carnations

We can help add some flowers to your home!

Help Your Flowers Survive the Summer Heat

 The summer months can be difficult on flowers, but it’s also the best time to see vivid, gorgeous blooms.  However, if there’s very little rain during these hot months, you’ll find that your flowers start to droop and die.  By following some of these tips for helping your flowers survive during the hot summer months, you can keep your flowerbeds looking great.

•    Obviously, you need to keep your flowers watered.  Water in the evening to avoid wasting water (it will evaporate during the heat of the day).
•    Water is important, but don’t forget the fertilizer.  Fertilizing your plants during the summer will keep them healthy and blooming. 
•    Deadhead your flowers after they bloom. 
•    Cut back your blooming perennials.  Like deadheading, this can make your flowerbeds look tidier, and it will also help encourage new growth in the flowers themselves.
•    Cover your flowers during severe summer storms.
•    Bring in any potted flowers during major storms.
