Secretary reports weather conditions
Wednesday, October 29th, 2003As mandated by Chapter 14, §432.43a of The Professional Secretary’s Handbook, a Secretary II at The University of Iowa dutifully reported the changing of the seasons to the rest of the office at 10:22 AM Wednesday, October 29, 2003, noting that there was "a little bit of sleet out there." As mandatory weather reporters, secretaries are bound to quickly, accurately, and responsibly disseminate current conditions should they be (quoting from §432.43a, paragraph 34) "unusually adverse, inclement, or otherwise remarkable or likely to spark intra-office concern or chatter."
The secretary went on to speculate that it didn’t look like the sleet would be particularly long-lived, but that "it sure is chilly out there." He then blew on his hands and allowed the warm breath to reflect back on his apple-y cheeks for emphasis.
