i'm into my second week of 5-day work weeks. so far, so good. the temp is working out. she comes in 2 or 3 days a week, answers phones, types simple letters, runs errands to the courthouse for me. the only problem is, she's very "talky", likes to chat, chat, chat. i find it hard to concentrate when that's going on but i manage to get my stuff done.
amy e-mailed me monday to ask how my weekend was and to tell me that they went out and partied with their biker friends saturday night but that she's pretty sure she won't be back at work until mid-september.
my boss wanted to "talk" late yesterday afternoon. she wanted to ask me a question and said she wanted me to "think about it" and that i didn't have to give her an answer right away. OH! i thought...uh oh, what?? the question was, did i think i could handle the office by myself? i said, huh?? she said if/when amy comes back to work, the first day she calls in sick, she will be fired. she has no sick/vacation/personal days coming to her and boss said she was not putting up with one more single "sick" day...translate - hung over. she said she would keep a temp on to come in during busy times, i.e., criminal court days, jury trials, etc. oh and, it would include a substantial raise (her words).
i really hate civil law. i am SO rusty, i have had to reach way into the recesses of my brain to get a few urgent things done that have been languishing on amy's desk for months on end. i'm just not sure i want to commit to such a schedule.
something else happened that greatly upset both of us. i got a call from the circuit clerk's office that one of our trust checks bounced. it seems amy wrote a bunch of checks out of the trust account for filing fees, etc., but she neglected to MAKE A DEPOSIT to cover the checks!!!!!!!! OMG!!! i told boss that is unforgivable and should be grounds for being fired on the spot. now we are wondering how many OTHER checks are out there that won't be covered. holy guacamole!
stay tuned for part II. or is it III? in the meantime, here's vince to sell you a "SHAMWOW!!!!"
