Since we are all talking about secretaries

[OhioBPH]

I literally just found out that my secretary has the missing health records for my new students. She was only giving me a little info at a time and I have no idea why. School started in August. It's November. Why are you holding on to physicals and vaccine dates and my dumb file labels???????

The kicker, is that I sent out letters asking parents to being the information in since I didn't have it, and it was sitting just over there.

Honestly, I have to say my secretary ROCKS!! She is awesome! She doesn't try to take over and she knows what info I need and gets it to me!

She is also Spanish speaking!!! HUGE help!!

I have worked in buildings before where the secretary is on a power trip and it truly is awful, I feel bad for you guys!

All my secretaries are great. I work with 6 total and they are all great! They are invaluable and I have been doing this long enough to understand how important they are. I try not to rock that boat. I haven't worked with one that I wish I didn't work with though. I have been lucky!

You want to talk about secretaries? OOOH boy, I got a good registar one who is always on my butt.

She's friends with all the parents and the admin, so everything she says goes basically. Parent complains of me? I'm not told, instead she reports me and I get an email from admins about it, when I didn't know what was going on.

When she doesn't like something, she's blunt to the point where she scolds me in front of co-workers or on the phone! She likes to come to my office and clean my room, and state that my room is a mess through a passive-aggressive email. When immunizations were due for 7th grade and her child was in my list, she kept blaming me for losing the records, which I didn't. They weren't in my stack nor his file, so she told me I was unorganized and refused to help until I told the principal and actually had to plead her to bring them to me. She just said it was my fault.

All in all, she pisses me off at times, and I report her to my principal, so she has stopped some of these behaviors. I'm reporting these on a excel so if this continues I have a way to show I been keeping track of her.

Quick update, she is not giving me stuff right away, and my pile is quickly growing! I'm glad we are on the same page now, but she was right, it can be overwhelming.

NOW, she gives me the paperwork right away now.
