I crawled through work on Monday. I was exhausted from the football party I guess but I got totally back on track with my diet. My stomach burned all day and when I got home I literally fell into bed. I was never so happy to see my pillow.
Tuesday was fine too. The morning was very rough but the afternoon got better. Everyone is completely on edge it seems. I wonder if its the pending snowstorm. We are supposed to get one heck of a blizzard. To be honest- that kind of fits with my life lately. My best BFF text me to tell me that she cannot get over how beautiful I looked at the football party. That made me feel good. The lawyer on staff was busy but had to handle a man that came in because as a receptionist my knowledge is limited about the court cases. I helped him to a point but I had to go get her. She get very nasty about it- as if I have ANY say what so ever about who comes into the court. She ended up sitting him in a private booth- not once but twice before he left. What's THAT tell you? Obviously I couldn't have helped him. Her paralegal tells me at lunch that the lawyer apologised to HER for being nasty. I very clearly let her know that I was the one who the lawyer should've apologised to. She was out of line. I hope that she went right back to her with the story.
Then I got a call where the client on the other end was extremely upset. She was complaining about a girl that had retired three years ago though. (Clearly the person that she was upset with gave the retirees name because they knew that they'd be in trouble.) That was the extent of my knowledge about the incident. I gave the call to my supervisor to handle. After the call she came out and reprimanded ME about the call. In what I felt was an accusatory manner she said to me that she'd "better not hear of anyone using another person's name." Hello jerk- I didn't even handle the call. The receptionist next to me got the original call and we are well aware of who she passed it to. That person- the guilty one is the supervisors good friend. She's also a drunk and short tempered and nasty a lot. I didn't tell but we both knew who the culprit was. I was infuriated though. How DARE she think that I would do that?! It's crap.
The morning went on with those as the highlights. By lunch time I was ready to jump ship- tell them ALL off and just forget about it...sadly in this bad economy I cannot afford to do that...I was forced to swallow it but it ate my insides up. My stomach burned with the fury of a brush fire in dry timberland. Then an angel rescued me.
One of the younger employees that did not know the situation sat down next to me at lunch. He was excited to tell me that he had overheard the boss saying some pretty wonderful things about me. Afterwards I just felt so much better. I needed that. I think the angels were watching, saw and led him to me. I get that everyone is stressed but why is it okay-or for them to think it's okay- to take it out on the front desk? AARGH!!!
Anyway- the rest of the day went better with that knowledge tucked away in my brain. School went better. I'm still a bit lost but better off than I was. I'm going to reread and go over everything this weekend. It's a four day weekend that I know of...maybe more if the storm really hits.
I'll sign off here. See you next blog! ;-)
