Boring day...

I went back to work after taking off yesterday due to my daughter being sick. She’s coughing up a little bit but she feels much better now, so I sent her off to school.

When I got to work, I had a pile waiting for me at my desk. Even though my boss is out of town for the week, I haven’t been able to catch up. Somehow it seems like I have MORE work to do!

When I log in my computer, my boss receives at least 50 e-mails, if not more, just in the morning alone. It took me over two hours just printing out the e-mails with attachments, organizing them by client and sending a few e-mails on his behalf. It’s amazing all the paperwork that’s involved. Not only are my hands dry and they feel like sandpaper, but I got a few paper cuts too! :(

And just when I think I have everything organized, I get another load of e-mails. My boss will probably have to spend a couple of days just going through them!

Before he left, he asked me to go through all his file cabinets and figure out which client files can be sent to the warehouse for storage. He’s been gone since last Tuesday and I have not had a chance to do so. He will be returning to work either Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, and I’m afraid I haven’t even gotten started on this project. What is he going to think? Oh, well…!

Today, I attended the “Extra Net” training. It was so boring! All eight of us tried to keep our eyes open and pretend we were interested but it was so hard. A few were yawning, including myself. There was one girl who actually fell asleep! We saw her and everyone started to laugh. I still don’t know what this program was all about. I hope I don’t have to use it! So much for learning something new!
