i'm afraid i am serious. "undue burden" was a little over the top, i admit, but i exaggerate to make the point. I gotta figure that most receptionists refer to themselves as receptionists, admin asst's as admin asst's, etc. I guess it's a term they use to group all of these types of support staff under one label.

my main issue is with the renaming of all of the jobs, and the idea of the thread was to hear what everyone would like to be known as. it seems that everyone missed that, and is focused on my dumbass resistance to this one term.

secretaries can call themselves "grand poobahs of clerical science" for all I care. i'm gonna call them secretaries, though.

oh, and i still call black people black. unless they actually moved here from Africa, in which case i will call them "African Americans"

i'm White. not European American.
