THE SECRETARY – HER JOB
• Her Primary Area of Responsibility
• Problems that She Routinely Addresses
• Documentation that She Routinely Administers
I work as a secretary. My first responsibility is to assure the interface between my boss and the employees, contractors, partners, suppliers.
I have to arrange his meetings, to select the calls and the appointments in order to spare him of the less important problems that can be solved by somebody else.
I have to manage the mail (in or out), to prepare it, to register it, to present it to my boss, and then, according to his resolution, to file or to give it to the person assigned by him.
One of my job is to provide unofficial translation of the documents. Fortunately, my boss speaks English very well, but sometimes I have to translate from Romanian for the foreign partners. Documentation that I routinely administer is:
Daily: letters, minutes, mail, faxes, listing.
Monthly: time sheet, monthly reports with the annexes, the transfer of the employees,.
As everywhere, there are good or bad points, busy or quiet days and all together give me the great satisfaction to do what I like to do.
VOCABULARY:
to assure =a asigura to spare =a scuti
employee =angajat to register =a inregistra
supplier =furnizor to file =a indosaria
meeting =sedinta to assign =a desemna
appointment =intrevedere to provide =a asigura
PROVERBS:
• A friend in need a friend indeed.
• No man was born wise.
• Try before you trust.
• There is no rule without exception.
• Life is made up of little things.
• Never too old to learn.
• Knowledge is the power.
• Lost time is never found again.
• All is well that ends well.
• Seeing is believing.
• Respect a man, he will do more.
• If you want a thing well done, do it yourself.

ALEX: Paul, what do you do every morning as a general rule?
PAUL: Well, I usually wake up at seven o’clock every day except Sunday, then I get out of the bed and I go to the bathroom. I always, or nearly always, have a shower. I shave and dress and then I have breakfast. This is generally tea, toast and jam, bread and butter, and sometimes ham and eggs too, but really have more than that for breakfast. Occasionally, it’s black coffee instead of tea. I always leave home at 7:45 as it seldom takes me more than ten minutes to get to the office. I am never late for work.

PAUL: I work eight hours a day, that’s forty – eight hours a week.
ALEX: And what do you generally do in the afternoon?
PAUL: Well, I always leave the office at 4:15. I take a bus or a tram, and I get home about 4:30. I have lunch and then I sometimes take a nap. This is hardly ever more than for an hour. Twice a week I go to the English course at Cepeca Consulting Center, and on Saturday nights I listen to some English records. That is hard work you know.
ALEX: Do you often listen to English records?
PAUL: Yes, I do, very often. It’s always such good practice in every-day English.
