The wheels on the bus...

... Are taking us closer to hell?  I don't know This week has been weirder than usual.  I managed to put in two and a half hours of overtime in this week alone playing catch up with all the deadlines! It made for an interesting time at work.

It's funny, because I still get mistaken as the receptionist most days, because I am the one who answers the phones. It takes quite a bit of humor to keep smiling when they ask for the legal assistant, and in some cases it takes the Courts a while to realize that I'm the person they want to speak to.

On the subject of phone calls, I'm getting rather vexed with the scams that keep coming through. It's as if people think that I can't go online and trace the number to assure it's valid, or do a background check with BBB or Google to see what's being said online. And if I have to keep explaining that my boss does not handle sales calls, and he is most likely not interested. Also, I always answer the phone in the same manner because that it how it is expected of me, and I will always ask for phone numbers because the number the person is calling form might not be their primary contact number. But, I do have caller ID, so I can see who is calling in. Unless the number is blocked, I can see who is calling in. 

And that, mes amis, is my rant for this week. Now, I'm going to go to bed. Still haven't been sleeping well lately, and I get to see how bad my eyes have gotten tomorrow..... Whee!
