Life of a secretary

Am working in an environment full of women folk, or more specifically secretaries and i feel that my life is now littered with little gossips here and there which i find totally amusing and boring at the same time. The kind of details and information that they take note of is astounding, ranging from dietary habits of their bossess to newest gfs etc. But its a tough life to be a secretary to an expat boss, many a times you have to handle his ENTIRE personal life as well ( though by right you should only take of work related stuff), ranging from visas, to hiring filipino maids, to installing cable at their houses, paying for the kids' education, flight travel booking and having multiple cancellations!( i swear this must take up close to 88% of their working time!)...At the same time, i feel both admiration and sympathy, its irritating enough for me to hear all that crap but for them to do it, and yet remain their composure of being "sweet" and "nice" on the phone....just hang me.....:P
