aahhhh lovely….
aahhhh lovely....Still feeling sick. But I am learning to deal with it. That and drink lots of peppermint tea which relaxes me and eases my tummy pain. I love mint.
You have read my complaints about being the non - assistant assistant to my boss. I have written several times about the various examples in my daily life where, though she adamantly denies it, my boss treats me like her assistant. Perhaps one of those times I also included the fact that she wanted her phone forwarded to me if someone should call her and press "0" Normally, in our office, there is a centralized person that answers these types of call for the entire floor. Apparently that wasn't good enough for da boss lady. She wanted her calls sent to me. As if I could help someone who is calling for her... anyway...
This morning I got my first taste of something I was secretly hoping would never happen. I received a forwarded phone call. I looked at my phone (because I have a display phone, just what every non-assistant assistant needs) and saw the numbers flip. It was a 212 area code. My stomach dropped. It has been years since I was responsible for taking other people's phone calls. Seriously. 7 years to be exact.
I didn't answer the phone. I refused to. Just because they are forwarded to me doesn't mean I have to answer. I could have been away from my desk. I could have been making copies....

As you wake in the morning
What do you feel?
Does a rush of happiness
wash over you when,
Suddenly, you realize you are alive?
