John, I'm so glad you don't mind being called a secretary. I have a
300 page manuscript for which the file has been deleted. Somehow, we
can't find the file for this document anywhere. Fortunately, we do
have a hard copy, so someone can re-type it into a new file.
Sure. Drop it in the sheet feeder over there on the scanner and I'll email
you the file for proofreading in a little bit. ;{>} Wonderful invention,
OCR software. Don't understand how offices got along without it.
Seriously, I think this is blowing it a little out of proportion. The
original poster didn't have anyone asking her to do secretarial work, all
she had was some well-intentioned but misguided individual trying to do
something nice for her.
Have fun,
