Words are inadequate

Basically they put you down all the way through the conversation to build themselves up? Ugh.

Also, I really wish people would stop dissing admin. Admin is important. How do people think they get paid? That items are paid for or provided? Their rights are upheld? Benefits, health and otherwise provided? Etc? By osmosis? I worked for a tech company once - a video game distributor/developer - which ignored the administrative department and kind of saw it as immaterial, the cool kids were the game developers and sales. That tech company is long gone, got swallowed up by another one - who cared about admin.
