Even back when I was a wee receptionist, I threw weight around. One of the editors, years after the fact, remembered his first encounter with me. He'd come in for his job interview, and had to fill out some form and leave it with me. He kind of filled it out half-assed and tried to wander away. I would have none of that, and reached out and grabbed his wrist to make him come back and finish the form. He was impressed, and said that he'd never met a receptionist with quite so much of a spine before.
This is probably why I was receptionist for only six months before being transferred to the library, where I could go about building my queendom in peace and quiet.
