wherein Liz holds down the office
Feb. 21st, 2019 03:25 pmI am alone at the rental office today, since both Mom Boss and Aunt Boss are taking vacation to coincide with Cornell's February break. I will likewise be alone tomorrow.
This is occasionally awkward since there are various things I'm not authorized and/or just straight-up don't know how to do, but I've been muddling along pretty well.
I got approximately zero free time until roughly 3pm, though, because Things kept happening in a rude and inconvenient fashion. However, I successfully sorted all the Maintenance invoices that the head of accounting had said must -- MUST! -- start coming to her rather than to Maintenance... and then just stuffed into envelopes and ignored for four months and now the head of Maintenance doesn't have references to figure out a bunch of important stuff and therefore put her foot down and said, no, the invoices will resume coming to HER, thank you kindly. (Office politics is wild, I tell you. *wry*) I have also successfully rented one studio and half-rented another, and I've been manually routing around the annoying technical glitch in our package notification system so our package glut is starting to clear out. Those are all good and useful accomplishments.
And now I am going to make myself a second cup of tea (by which I mean a 16oz disposable coffee cup, because let's be real, work is not for the under-caffeinated) and see if I can relax for half an hour before any more Things happen at me.
