Whacky Friday

Do you ever have one of those days? It's been kind of a crazom morning so far. To start with, there I was all happy as a bug in a rug in my bed when my cell phone rings and it's a little fuzzy (as all my cellphone conversations usually are) and the voice on the other line is my (sort of) boss.

"Hi Lyndy, it's Janice." And I am thinking to myself, "Why is she calling me so early in the morning?" but alas she wasn't calling me so early in the morning as it was... 9:30!

I am supposed to be at work at 9am, by the way.

Needless to say I lept out of bed and began my morning ritual, only in fast forward. I finally made in to work at 10:10 and was really embarassed. When I made it to my desk I was greeted by a co-worker's breakdown... I mean tears and everything... It was a little awkward so I just kept quiet and let her vent while I started working.

Now I am replacing the receptionist and the quiet environment of the office has exploded into a mix of deadlines, last minute court appearances and an important quarterly budget meeting.

The day so far has been a trip and I don't know if I can take anymore surprises.
