The cards are all made with recycled paper and you can even include a gift if you like and this company will send it off for you. It is an American based company and I am in Canada, but the cards I sent were all received within a week. To send to clients of your company. What a convenient way to send cards.

They won't know what we're capable of if we don't tell them, nor will they realize that letting us do some of the work actually saves the company money in the long run. It's up to us to educate them on the benefits of an assistant. January 11, 2010 Anonymoussaid. I completely agree with you on this one Patricia.

The problem that sometimes occurs with sharing with current co-workers is it can turn into office gossip.
