I stop what I’m doing to get this done.

This is where an assistant network can come in handy. I often reach out to my network to get answers to problems that come up at the office or just to lend a sympathetic ear. Sign up to some interactive Admin Assistant sites such as OfficeArrow , Admin Secret and DeskDemon. 5, 2010 at 12 p.m.
