did you buy flowers??

so. some of you may know this, some of you may not. yesterday was in fact secretaries day. and yes, i realize we're not called secretaries any more, it's "administrative professionals day". so, there is one guy here at work that wished me happy AP yesterday...to which i responded "do i LOOK like an iphone to you??" and he laughed and said..."well, they do have an app for everything". (app, AP, ha ha ha...it's a techie joke!)

so, after a moment, i realized, i may be the next one to be phased out by the evil that is technology. it happened years ago in the auto industry, it's happening in voice automated call centers all over the world, and it may be happening in the "administrative professional" pool sooner than we'd like to admit. so. here are five things that the iphone can do that could threaten my job, as well as five things it can't do that will let me keep my job forever: (list style just for @tremendousnews just in case they happen to wander over this direction...i know how they like lists...)

five reasons the iphone may take over my job:

#5 need to print a label? they have an app for that.

#4 need an email sent? they have an app for that.

#3 need tips on how to shake a baby properly? they have an app for that (totally not kidding: http://tech.yahoo.com/news/pcworld/20090423/tc_pcworld/appleapprovestastelessbabyshakeriphonegamethenremovesit)

#2 need to google some information? do a little research? find random pointless facts? they have an app for that.

#1 plus, the iphone looks much better in form fitting/curve hugging leather than i do. sad.

five reason the iphone will NEVER take over my job:

#5 it can't make coffee

#4 it can't refill the printer when it runs out of paper (try to make an app for that bitches!)

#3 it can't refill the candy dish when it runs out (okay, so i haven't been doing that lately..in theory though).

#2 it can't water the plants

#1 the iphone doesn't have a size 40c chest for the men in the department to stare at when they're pretending to ask for information. no app for that one. ever. i'm completely safe.

so. what have we learned? I, ME, MY GLORIOUS SELF am the app for everything really important. and i need to work on fitting into curve hugging leather a little better. suck it iphone. you'll never replace me! so there!
