In other news, today I am in charge of the entire company, and will be so for the rest of the week, due to my boss's partner having their baby on the night before the admin girl went on holiday.

I'm not sure it is that different. My job title is PA to the CTO, and I have autonomy to the extent that I'm currently managing a project with a budget in the hundreds of thousands, but I still get referred to as "admin girl"? (Admittedly usually only once by any given person...)

I think it's just the combination of the words that makes me feel like I am utterly worthless to an organisation. When I was about 16 I worked as a part time "admin girl" and it was literally just answering the phone, data entry and filing. Now my job includes so many different things, a large degree of autonomy and responsibility, and leaves me accountable for certain errors I just find the term derogatory. "The admin girl can sort that out" just implies the job is too lowly for anyone else. I object to it.
