Niceties Port
Welcome! My desk can be called the NICETIES PORT,
I know who comes and goes; I have ENTIRE OPTICS.
I often serve another role, not as a TIE INSPECTOR,
But as one who writes memos and NOTICES TRIPE.
My notes are complete, not just TOPIC ENTRIES,
I'm often asked for details and to RECITE POINTS.
Photocopier problems? I can help with TINT, RECOPIES,
I track expenses, I am who you bring RECEIPTS IN TO.
Who am I?

That is really good! I loved it! I didn't know you could think of so many clever anagrams for 'receptionist'. That was great.
Yes, that is probably the best riddle I have seen on this site! Excellent job, Marc
An extremely clever anagram of Receptionist! Quite easy to me though, as I am a cryptic crossword fan. The verse is excellent. Very good work.
One of the best I have seen. Very well done.
I actually got that one really fast. It was fun though.
Very clever. Got it quickly, but I too am amazed at the many anagrams. Very well done.
Didn't figure it out. Great teaser
Although very easy ( your descriptions were over the top), that is the wildest list of anagrams I've seen. Great Job!

Although the answer was fairly easy,I commend you on the brilliant writings.
One of the best teasers I've ever seen! Nice job!

I have caught it as I have been a receptionist for a lot of time (with secretarial functions as you say!).
Well conceived, you work great with anagrams, I look forward to your next teaser! Thanks for submitting!!

Very Nice! A lotta work went into that. I didn't get the answer tho hoping 1 day a flash of something will clue me into anagrams.
THANKS

Excellent riddle; one of the best !!
extremely clever! thanks!
extremely clever! thanks!
easy but excellent, loved this one
Who-wooda-thot you could get so many anagrams out of a single word? This is the best combo-teaser (riddle-anagram) I've seen! And, for me, the amazing thing is that I solved it ... I am notoriously poor at riddles.
Easy, but so well done!
This is a SINCERE TIP TO anyone who wants to create as fun a teaser: be as creative as this poster!
Fun riddle do more

Okay again will somebody please explain what makes this such a great teaser? I am truly in the dark here. I see some of the words are enlarged. Does that have something to do with it? Because of my age I often miss out on the new things that were not around when I was young. Thanks to anyone, and I will try to remember to come back and take a look
Good morning Babe, all the capital lettered words/phrases are anagrams of the word "receptionist".
Great puzzle. Extremely clever. Wonderful job with the anagrams, Marc! Thanks, Jaycr for your nice explanation to Babe!
So many anagrams for receptionist, that was brilliant & fun, thanks Marc!
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got it very quickly.
Wow. This is wonderful. I did not get it quickly. Saw the anagram thing right away, but could not leap to receptionist. Insert excessive superlative praise here.
Pretty good getting all those anagrams from one word!
