So I have had the office to myself--more or less--for the past week. And let me say this: as someone without the uber-advanced degree trying to tell people what they need to hear (even though I'm saying the exact same thing my boss would; I just don't get paid the big bucks), it makes for some rather difficult conversations. And trying to deal with opposing attorneys? Yeah.... I don't know how many times I said the phrase "He is out of the office until Tuesday" to have them reply "Oh, then I'll just send him an e-mail!". The fact that there aren't permanent grooves in my tongue from where I had to bite to keep from saying "You have fun with that. He's going to circle you back to me anyway!"...
There are days when I feel majorly overwhelmed. I have about 5 different hats I can be wearing at any given time, and sometimes those hats get worn simultaneously. It's frightening.
So yeah, I feel like I'm at bat, and given the fact that I tend to strike out? It's not a fun feeling...
