I've realized the same thing during my career in IT. Being nice (to everyone, but especially) to the boss's assistant paid off time and again. I can't tell you the number of things I got done for me around the office specifically because I wasn't a jerk. Need new batteries for my pager? Done! Would like some updated business cards? Done! My desk phone needs replacing. Done!
