Force of habit. My mortal enemy could sneeze and I'd say bless you before I could stop myself. But then I very quietly take it back.

It’s a reaction. A lot of people are conditioned to do it on reflex. I say bless you when someone sneezes out of habit, no matter who they are.

You know they’re blessing you because medieval idiots believed a ghost goes through you when you sneeze, right?

I am in the process of finding administrative assistant interns from our local universities. In an effort to make my job opportunity appealing, I am asking everyone in this bowl about an appropriate job title. Is "Administrative Assistant" outdated or unappealing? I certainly don't want to mislead anyone on the job responsibilities, but I do want to avoid any potential negative stereotypes attached to that job title. Are there alternative titles that you find more appropriate for 2022?
