This is my boss today: she complains to everybody who comes in about how much stuff she has to do. She has the piles of papers and packets on her desk to prove it. It's almost 2 o'clock and she hasn't actually done ANY work yet. True, she had to stop at the bank this morning, so that was work-related. But she came in at 11:00 and done not much else.
- She called the company she bought her cat door from and complained about how it didn't seem to be working. It took I don't know how long for her and the guy on the phone to go over every inch of the door trying to make it work, to discuss once again what she hopes to accomplish with the door, where in her house the door will go, etc.
- She then talked to the construction foreman about having a guy come by and do the work of installing the cat door. That took about 20 minutes while they discussed placement and style.
- She ordered lunch.
- She talked to her husband on the phone a couple of times (apparently he quit or got fired today).
- She talked to her loan rep and ran numbers on a refinance.
- She called 4 or 5 different places trying to find out if it was illegal to park an RV on the street in a residential area. When she found out it was, she called the police to report it. They needed an exact address, so I had to go and get my Thomas Guide out of my car for her.
- She called a BMW repair shop and discussed at length the problem with her car and made an appointment to take it in.
- Her husband called again and they talked about cake and the car.
I'm waiting for her to complain again about how much work she has to do.
