"Will you book my flight?"...."Could you take this to accounting for me?"...."Would you mind faxing this for me?" I even had a co-worker ask me to pick up his suit from the dry-cleaners. I have nothing against secretaries, its just that, well, I'M NOT A SECRETARY. We NEED a secretary in our office, but my boss refuses to hire one.
In the meantime, whenever a co-worker comes to me with a clerical request, I just point to my degree hanging on the wall. They usually get the hint....

That is rough! I would be looking for another job if I was in your position...
