im assuming this is a small office, since they dont have a facilities staff to clean the kitchen. if this is the case, the kitchen should be maintained by ALL workers. everyone should be cleaning after themselves, while this is a pie in the sky ideal, it should at least be acknowledge by some sort of company policy.
as far as answering phones and making copies, these are tasks a admin should be doing. if that isnt your job description, dont wait for the review, bring it up now and get a clear understanding of what your specific roles are.

who will she blame it on though?

I just don't want to come off like a non "team player" with less than a month on the job. Most of the other chicks in the office have been here 5 plus years. They probably started as receptionists/secretaries and have no problem with the additional stuff.

You should leave bloody tampons everywhere. Especially since you're pregnant they won't suspect you!

In their defense they probably think that since you're latin and preggo's that you're the average spic who enjoys cleaning up and doing the white mans bidding. In their own way they're probably trying to make you feel welcome.

Only my boss knows I'm pregnant so far.
Everyone else probably assumes I have huge tits and a gut.

problems, huh?

One problem you may have is that it appears none of the other woman are complaining. Give it time to play out. Other than the fact that the controller appears to be a poor manager, the rest is piddly shit that shouldn't matter. Other than that, I think Gonzo hit it the head, they want you to feel welcome.

It seems to me that I'm pretty much the only woman in the office that wasn't hired in an administrative position, so they're not complaining because it's almost an extension of their job description.
In the interview I was completely candid about the kind of position I wanted and specifically stated that I did not want to be a secretary or anyone's "assistant." So, it just seems insulting and presumptuous that I would automatically want to clean a kitchen or cover the phones just because I'm a girl.

After you get some more time under your belt, the next time this kitchen clean up list comes out, ask why all people that use the kitchen aren't on the list. I make my own copies when time permits and I answer the phone when my admin is busy. Don't read more into it than might exist.

I'm thinking about saying something about a whiny cunt, but I'm not sure if I want to go there just yet.

pretend you're a lesbian and would rather do the guy work.

Did they ask you to mow the lawn?

next thing you know, you're opening a can of tuna with the guy and it used to be our tuna.
