Wow, still no new receptionist this morning. Somehow I don’t think she’s coming in! And now they’ve waited long enough that their second choices have probably already moved on. I suspect they may not have a new receptionist by the time I leave, which is gonna suck for everyone. Prativa says she’s not coming in on Monday if they haven’t found somebody. I think she’s joking, but there’s a serious undercurrent there and I’m not sure how strong it is.
Brian figures the boss is going to try and talk me into staying longer on account of there being no receptionist to train for the past couple of days. That would make sense, but I think he’s too pissed off at me for that. Plus I think he knows it wouldn’t do him any good. My last day is Friday this week, come hell or high water. It’s a struggle to get up and come here every morning, but it’s only two more shifts after today. If I made it through Minto, I can make it through this. But seriously, I’m hungover, burt out, PMSy and bone-tired. This morning was painful. Unfortuately, intense PMS is not considered a reasonable excuse for missing work. Goddamn patriachy we live in still.
I hauled ass yesterday getting caught up so that I’d have time to train somebody today. Now I am looking around my office wondering what on earth I’m going to do to keep myself busy today. I’m not even going to bother making invoices until 9am, and then make them very very slowly.
They really did take the tarp off of our balcony yesterday! It’s such a massive deck, and the view is incredible. I felt giddy when I went out to look at it last night, just like when we first found out we could move into the place, and we used to sneak in at night to look around. We were so excited! It really is a beautiful apartment, we just haven’t been able to enjoy it cause of the constant construction, and the tarp was already up when we moved in. So after living in the place since November, this is the first time we’ve really been able to enjoy our deck.
The railings are supposed to be going up today, and the scaffolding should be coming down within a week or two. Soon, soon they will be finished our part of the building. We’ll be able to put the BBQ outside, and actually be able to use both it, and the storage closet it’s currently inhabiting. Brian and Cam will be standing outside in the snow, happily cooking up steaks, and ribs, and burgers, and chicken, and veggie skewers, and pretty much anything you can possibly cook on a BBQ. My mouth is watering already.
I need to find a new way to stay occupied. Not even one hour into my work day and I’m bored stupid.
